10 consumer goods i cannot give up

By • Jul 13th, 2010 • Category: The B List

Consumerism. I am but a byproduct of this world of indulgence. I make a living celebrating indulgence. I’m not ashamed of doing a damn good job at it.

Yet, as I swim in this consumer chaos, I know what matters to me, and what doesn’t. I will give up my glamourous all-expense-paid advertising life, but I will not give up being my father’s daughter. No matter how tempting it feels. When it comes to consumer goods though, I know what I cannot give up, in spite of what the Zen me says.

Try this: what are the 10 consumer goods you cannot give up, no matter what?

Here’s mine.

1. A good piece of Art. It’s proof God exists.

2. Coffee. Eight cups a day, since the age of 9.

3. Chicken rice. A significant reason why I have not bid this country goodbye. Yet.

4. The air conditioner. I’m hot. Literally. You can fry a bloody egg on my body any time.

5. Hair wax. It is to a lesbian what a cock is to a man.

6. MacBook Pro. My wife with Apple Care. If only the same insurance is extended to women.

7. Nike kicks. Speaking of which, I’m running out.

8. iPhone. And increasingly… my iPad.

9. Esquire. God forbid should the day come when technology causes Esquire to go bust, I shall revive them online. Pro bono.

10. Whisky. I could go on forever on the list of whiskies I so fancy.

    “Hair wax. It is to a lesbian what a cock is to a man” Gosh! Ok I agree with 90% of your consumer goods, but hair wax?? What do you do with long hair lesbians?? Haha if I was using hair wax I think my clients would just run out screaming like a shy virgin in front of a cock!

    I don’t need that much coffee in a day but I do need that ONE solid solid tok kong cup of liquid gunpowder to start my morning.

    I recommend Vietnamese coffee. 4 scoops into the coffee maker coz the drip filter can’t hold some much coffee.

    “Coffee. Eight cups a day, since the age of 9″. Wouldn’t you be jumpy all the time?

    Before I drink coffee like a crazy maniac but since I got abnormal acid levels, It is for me to tone down a bit.

    Strangely enough, Whiskey is becoming the new black.

    And coffee, yeah when you’ve started liking the taste of plain black, that’s when the problems start.

    Do you think your appreciation for whiskey and coffee go hand in hand?

    Great informative blog. Good info combined with good opinion. We check back regularly.

    Eight cups of coffee a day since 9? That’s a lot of caffeine consuming , you might save yourself from cancer but are you planning to give yourself a heart attack=)

    I have to agree with you with the chicken rice and coffee..this to me sounds like a complete meal..:) but I don’t think you should replace 8 glasses of water a day to 8 cups of coffee, we also need to do water cleansing.. :)

Say something.
