    A cool nebraska football christmas ornament
    A light for my bike

    With the 140, I'm probably gonna buy a new helmet and tights for cycling. I didn't get as much stuff, but the 900 bucks for the bike (i had to spend like 600 of my own money) was pretty much all I really wanted. I'll post some pictures of my bikes later.

    edit-Oh, I forgot the most important thing...my 15,000/year tuition...so I can excuse my parents for not going AS big this year on presents for me.
    Am I understanding this right? Did you spend $1,500 on a bike and not a motorcycle? If I am right I definately need to see a pic of this bike.

      Ask and you shall receive BTW, as far as expensive bikes go...1500 is pretty cheap, you could spend 3-4000 easily.

          Very nice bike. You must be a hardcore rider. Are you trying to some day race in the Tour de France?

            thanks for the compliments guys, but I would like to race professionally, but you have to be really, really, really good and have the right genetics. I am also a little bit on the big side...I'm 6'3" and most pro riders are like 5'8" to 5'10"...but I'm gonna get really serious this summer and see how I do in some races and if I do really good I might decide to take it to the next level. But right now I'm just trying to have fun.

              Best of luck to you brother. I enjoy riding my $150 mountain bike around the neighborhood. Nice exercise and gives me a reason to get out and get some fresh air.

                Got the components to create a wireless network in the house, Perfect Dark Zero, a wireless Xbox 360 controller, a Play and Charge Kit, Scrubs season 1 & 2, an emergency light, a golf book, money (yay), a Jaguar ornament, a sculpure of a shark in maroon and orange and a VT on it eating a fish that was blue and orange with the Dopey Scissors University logo on it, those new Isotoner Stretch Leather gloves.

                If there's more, I'll edit.

                        All I was stating is that people I know work there butt's off to give there kids as much as possible and some kid on here says that's about it when he gets a 1,000 dollars worth of present. If he atleast sounded grateful it wouldn't be a problem. Nivek you don't look like a young kid, so you know what I am saying. I won't say anything else about this. Just wanted to make a point to people and be grateful for what you have.

                            I understand that, and agree with that. I just think you might have quoted someone wrong as Holic (I believe) is a grown *** man with kids.
