Bring...
I remember this heartbreakingly-depressing Twilight Zone episode I saw years ago about a retarded man who had the power to call or materialize anything he wants from thin air. All he needed was the a picture or image of the thing he wants. After a wonder-filled uttering of the word, 'BRING!', the desired object would appear.
Of course, this is The Twilight Zone I'm talking about so it would have to have an ironic, evil twist to it. For starters, the kid couldn't bring anything alive safely; animals 'summoned' turned up dead (so the father has his hands full burying the remains in their yard). The climax of the episode was the 'bringing' of the kid's dead mother, who appears still dressed in her burial dress. Creepy.
Anyway, the point is that we always seem to want or desire something. Maybe it shows what our priorities are, how petty or how playful or greedy we are. Or simply, who we are. Well, who am I? I just live in the moment, and look for fun stuff and things to pass the time till the next desire comes along. Top of mind, what are ten things I would want to have right now (money not included, and only material things)?
I want a POWERFUL computer with a free cable internet connection. .
I want a copy of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball for my Xbox.
I want a Nokia 7650 (Would probably lose it to pickpockets after a week though)
I want a Lazyboy easy chair in my room.
I want a Nintendo Gamecube.
I want an obscenely huge flatscreen TV.
I want the 4th DVD box set of the Inu Yasha (anime) series.
I want a color Xerox machine/printer.
I want the LOTR Extended Version DVD set.
I want a damn car. With a damn driver.
It's funny. Most are silly, petty knick knacks. Most of them I can probably get if I work for them. Some are just pipe dreams. But these things are what keep us going every day, every hour, every second. Everyone has to have a hobby, a goal or whatever to keep chugging along. No doubt, this list will change in a day or two or maybe even an hour from now.
On second thought, maybe it's for the best that I don't have that Twilight Zone power. That episode ended with a Solar Flare frying the kid and his dad. I plan on writing and re-writing as many more lists of "wants" and "bring me's" for a long time to come.
