Hmm... so I was looking at stuff I "needed" to buy over the summer. IE, I need to upgrade my computer, since I haven't since Junior year of HS, and now I am a junior in college. And I need an acoustic/electric guitar, so I found one by rogue *COUGH* lol, I know they arn't a great company but I read a few reviews, and it doesn't sound to bad. Rogue Herringbone Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural So $129.99 not bad at all considering it has fishman classic 4 pre-amp in it and its mahogany.
Emily and I have banged the shit out of the cymbals on my drum set so... Pulse 357 4-Piece Cymbal Pack $89.99 but this means I need to buy a stand: Pacific Drums by DW CB800 Boom Cymbal Stand for $40.
Last but not least, I my stupid cheap effects petal is shot(Behringer X V-AMP Floor Unit)... so I need to buy a GOOD one... my choice is a little expensive, but GOOD: Boss GT-8 Guitar Effects Processor $445. BOSS you rule.
Oh yea, and I was thinking of selling all of my guitars and buying a nice guitar :-). Here are some "maybes": Schecter C-1 Classic Electric Guitar, ESP LTD Deluxe H-1000, Schecter C-1 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with Piezo Pickup, Fender® Jimmie Vaughan Signature Tex-Mex™ Strat® Electric Guitar. lol...
Now on to computer shiat:
My computer now, SUCKS, its 4 years old and is running still okay... but I need the processing power for graphics work. Yes for you mac fans, I did consider a mac, but alas they are expensive and I still am a gamer... mac = not so good games... sorry, still haven't beat PC in that area.

Sad to say I just got back from a bowling tournament and decided to log in and do some websurfing. Ted I love your blog. I had some very good laughs. I am doing a paper on takamine guitar and have been downloading information for the last hour. I don’t know how I came across Wish List for the Summer. Ugh... but I am glad I did. It has set me back a little because I have spent the last hour reading your archives. If you don’t mind I would like to add you to my favorites so I can back again and read some more. Well I need to get back to takamine guitar. I am almost finished with it. Great job.
p.s some very good points on your blog
