common sense

katiedid by katiedid · Mar 3, 2004 · 703 views · Journal

If you were unemployed, would you spend $380.00 on a GUITAR while your wife is clipping coupons for food?

UPDATE: No one needs to worry (or feel like they need to take the blame, umm Ophelia). I'm really not as mad as I sound. I was trying to make a point to the rockstar and I don't think there will be any other journals in this regard. Sorry.

I'm guessing the correct answer is no?

modestjesse #2 modestjesseOG 2004

No, but then again, I'm not addicted to music.

Actually if I did that you could be sure that guitar and just about every other luxury I have is sold the next day.

skaorsk8 #3 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmm, bryan, i think this is somehow your fault.

ophelia #3.1 opheliaOG 2003

I DIDN'T INSTIGATE IT!!..IT WAS HIS IDEA!...I just, guided him..He would would of spent more if i wasn't there, we haggled!..We didn't settle for the store price...And that figure includes tax by the way...

ophelia #3.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

AND a tuner.....(i doubt any of what i just said will make any difference, lol)

skaorsk8 #3.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

dude, i think after katie kills mike, you're next. i suggest moving to another state and changing your name to peter "omega" tweeter, immediately becoming a monk at your first opportunity.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

maybe we shoulda had katie come to the store w/us...when she saw the difference in price between that guitar, and everything else, and how we HUSTLED the employee who sold it to us, she woulda been alllll for it..um, i think

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

what did you base THAT idea on? listen bucko, a disguise is definitely a good investment on your behalf. if you're gonna change, go asian.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

man..i didn't think this whole ordeal would result in a change of identity....mike what'd u get me invovled in!

starshiptrooper #4 starshiptrooperOG 2003

welcome to the wodnerful world of mawwiage.
Thier *toys* get more expensive, my husband likes a new car every few years...

reaf #4.1 reafOG 2002

ha ha, aint that the truth, my husbands hobbys alone are ridiuclously expansive, and he has so many. surfing, snowboarding, golfing, soccer, electronics,paintbal gun,, you name it brandon does it and has the equipment for it.. crazyness

starshiptrooper #4.1.1 starshiptrooperOG 2003

yea and golfing can be expensive!

specialk #4.1.1.1 specialkOG 2003

My husband is also a golfer. Normally that's not a bad thing, but the fact that we live on a golf course (literally...the first fairway is in our backyard) makes it more tempting for him. And playing the country club ain't cheap!!

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

is it a full course or par 3?

specialk specialkOG 2003

A full course. So big that is stretches out over a few surrounding neighborhoods.

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

wow Nick would be in paradise ! his parents lived on a Par3 in Fla.

tinser #4.2 tinserOG 2002

you gotta have them whipped, thats what it all comes down to

specialk #4.2.1 specialkOG 2003

What's funny is, if he goes out and buys stuff for his toy (his BMW), that's ok. But if I want to go get a new outfit, then there's a problem. I'm like, What's the difference? Sheesh. Boys.

tinser #4.2.1.1 tinserOG 2002

it's silly...this is why everybody should be rich

specialk specialkOG 2003

I couldn't agree with you more. :)

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

hahah commie!

tinser tinserOG 2002

communism rocks!!!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

you're a nut. i swear you want to be a politician.

tinser tinserOG 2002

capitalism rocks!!!

toxicgirlOG 2003

your love jumps from one economic system to another...hypocrite, i can't look at your user name the same way ever again.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 toxicgirl

i think living in a community such as ezabel which is a meritocracy is the best..

tinser tinserOG 2002 toxicgirl

socialism rocks!!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 tinser

big fan of narcissism too, eh? jk

tinser tinserOG 2002 fivezero

haha, no....however, fascism rocks!

specialk specialkOG 2003 tinser

I like faces, too Courtney. :)

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I love telling people I'm communist. It's fun.

starshiptrooper #4.2.2 starshiptrooperOG 2003

LOL i DO beleive it or not!

yodasucka #5 yodasuckaOG 2003

haha i was thinking this yesterday when i got a call asking where the guitar center is on 4... but i decided to keep my mouth shut :X set him straight Katie!

ilikebirds #6 ilikebirdsOG 2002

NO! i wouldn't be cheap, I'd spend 500,000$'s on a guitar!

iwz #7 iwz

OH SNAP

juicymango #8 juicymangoOG 2003

...yikes...

specialk #9 specialkOG 2003

I would not....although....I'm dealing with a similar issue. My husband is the one who works, and even though we're ok financially, he wants to go buy a digital camera, get a flat screen monitor for our computer, and get a bunch of other stuff we don't need. I have to keep reminding him that only ONE person in the house works, and unless he wants me to go get a job too (which he does not), he should just keep imagining the stuff, and not make them a reality.

ilikebirds #9.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

as long as you're saying it neked it'll work. but a digital camera is essential.

specialk #9.1.1 specialkOG 2003

Right. But he wants the most expensive camera. Thankfully, his work just bought one, and he is in charge of it. So we "technically" don't have one, but we do. It's ours until his work needs it.

socalgal #10 socalgalOG 2003

WOW, I wouldn't....

hunkpapap #11 hunkpapapOG 2003

OH NO! Katiedidn't! HEY mike man you should have told me my bro may have had a guitar i could give you...

hunkpapap #11.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

Besides, if not Yoda says he has one he'd sell to you for $325. It's a gibson SG...

thefunkyfresh #12 thefunkyfreshFounder

definitely not!! i'd wait till she left the house and do it when she wasn't around. duh!! common sense!!

forrestina #13 forrestinaOG 2002

the least you guys could've done is come to see me...ya jerks

ophelia #13.1 opheliaOG 2003

hmm...yeah, didn't think of that..why didn't u say something!

forrestina #13.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

i didnt know you were there. mel didn't say anything? she was with me...

ophelia #13.1.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

yeah she said she was goin over to your apt, but it was when we were all going home..the idea of comin over just didn't occur to any of us...if mike ends up having to come back to return the guitar, we'll definatley make sure to stop by then..haha..

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

just dont insult me and bring a meal you bought to my house

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

hey, listen, i'm not italian, i forgot how personal actions involving food can be taken

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

well learn the ways

forrestina #13.1.2 forrestinaOG 2002

and which of these two words do you not understand: STANDING INVITE

yodasucka #13.1.2.1 yodasuckaOG 2003

definately the standing...

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

are you refering to her current lack of furniture?

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

haha she DOES have chairs! 4 of them!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

5 including the one in my bedroom, 6 including the toilet

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

in this case it would mean something like this word: remaining

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

what?..u guys are confusing me, i have no idea what we're talking about anymore

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

richard bryan drummond you may come to my house anytime you like. this means you.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

RE: The Update

I like these type of journal entrys, its like real world mike and katie. I want him to suffer on the small couch like i did while pat had the big one! Although i am kind of glad i am spending my 15K on my car now and not while i am married or with a gf cause i doubt this would fly... And im still going, it needs a paint job/rims in august :)

tesoro #19 tesoroOG 2001
