A Gift To Myself

Over the last couple of years I have noticed a trend in my behavior that is on the rise. There are a lot of things on the rise from kickball, to trips up North to meet awesome people but I am specifically talking about one issue, drunk shopping. D.S. is basically buying random crap after a few alcoholic beverages that you wouldn’t normally buy if you were sober.

By no means have I met up with my closest girl friends (friends that are also girls) had a few big sips of a white zinfandel (I have no idea what that is) and hit up the local Anthropologie (now I have been here). Instead I buy stuff that I want but by no means need. The tendency has shown in stores that were walking distance from the place I ended up crashing at but was never an apparent issue until I discovered Amazon and online shopping. Shopping only in underwear is awesome, you should try it.

About half of my D.S. purchases have been video games but some of my best include, watches, countless music on itunes (I’m legit), shoes, hats, jackets and even TTTKO.com. Some of you may see this as a problem but I must disagree with you negative Nancy’s (no offense Nancy). I must say that I see it quite differently. Inebriated Mikey, let’s call him Joey Nasa, really enjoys buying gifts for sober Mikey (still Mikey).

Bottom line is that Joey is the guy Mikey counts on to pull the trigger when his head gets in the way. But really, what is wrong with a gift?
