I consider myself a frugal man and besides my computer I don't have a desire to own many material things. I don't dream of owning a nice car, mansion, or an island. However, I think if I could own the following three things, I'd be happier and enjoy life that much more:
I envision this blog to be a forum for discussing Life, the Universe, and Everything. I place an especial emphasis on the ideals of freedom and choice because I believe they are fundamental for a fair and just democratic society. My posts may be about anything, but I will try to tie them to these concepts whenever possible. I welcome your thoughts and views. We can all expand our knowledge, ideas, and imagination together; I hope this blog can be a springboard for original thought. Enjoy!

My Dream Purchases
1. A Library - I was watching the movie Inkheart (great movie) today and in the beginning of the movie one of the characters has a house with a large room that is just shelves of beautiful books. I'd like to have a room with shelves and shelves of books. I love the feel, look, and general atmosphere of being around books; like being in a bookstore. It's even cooler when the bookstore is a used bookstore or antique books. This library should have a personal reading space that has a comfy chair of some sort with the appropriate lift technology to get me in and out of the chair.
2. My own personal movie theater - I love movies and I love them BIG. Nothing beats the experience of watching a movie on a 30 foot screen! Wouldn't it be sweet to have your own big-screen? My big-screen would be hooked up to my computer whereby I could be productive, communicate online, learn, play video games, and watch movies all from the mid-level viewing of my own theater.
3. Pinball Machine - I have always LOVED pinball. The more bells and whistles the better! Pinball seems to be a lost art these days as you see fewer and fewer pinball machines in arcades. Luckily, some are still being made - today I just played an awesome Indiana Jones pinball. Though I have a special place in my heart for the Simpson's machines I've played (at least 2 different versions). I've found the Simpsons machines to be extremely balanced, challenging, and most of all - FUN!
That's all. Is that asking for too much???

Definitely not.
I'd love my own library as well. I have several book cases full of books but most of them are kids' books :) But to have an entire room devoted solely to reading would be awesome.
I'd love my own movie theater too!
