The Wishlist

About some years ago, a friend of mine was near graduation and he sent an email to people on his address book with a link a wishlist. When I got this "wishlist" I was little offended. I mean you buy a gift for a person, it shouldn't be a request fullfillment. It should be something from the heart with a sentimental value. Needless to say, I ignored the list and bought him something that was of sentiment.

Well, I think that my adverse opinion of a "Wishlist" is starting to change. In fact, I have created a wishlist for myself below. Some online stores like Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com. you can easily create one using the "Add to Wishlist" feature.

(The WishList was created. And The Captain saw that it was good. )

The Wishlist:

1) Playstation Portable(coming March 23, 2005)

2) Nintendo Dual Screen

3)Playstation 3 (coming sometime in the future)

4)Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith( game)

5)Toshiba Satellite Laptop

6) DVD Recorder

7)Apple IPod

8)Plasma TV

9)Wireless Network Card

10)GPS Navigator

11)PDA

12)Bank Account with $35,000(recurring monthly)

13)Portable DVD player

14)Life size model of Enterprise star ship from Star Trek: TNG

15)Observatory-size Telescope(Yes, I like Astrononmy)

16) My own Geosynchronus Satellite(ok, I'm going overboard with this request but think of the possibilites of such a request.

17) Every known episode of Star Trek and it's successors on DVD

18) Real Star Wars lightsaber(I'm really serious about this one.)

Haven't you always had some virtual wishlist in your mind, but too poor to actually afford everything on that list unless you want to sell your life to a Credit Card company. Wouldn't it be nice to get someone as a gift not because of stupid occassion, but just because. It seems that my opinion might be minority in today's world. It has to be a certain day for someone to give you a gift. Well, not me. Everyday should be an occassion to let someone know how you feel about them.
