So last night me and a buddy went to a sporting store and of course first thing we look at was skis thats when i saw 08 Invaders for 249$ so i bought them i calculated my spending/time it was 16.25 i bought them in 16 minutes.
Does anyone else spend a good sum og money in a matter of minutes??
But hey i got new INVADERS!!! and mounting them today with Saloman Z12 ti.

If I had a credit card I would buy soo much more from sac. as it is I only have a sweatshirt and boardshorts that are sweet, but a little too big.

It is something that you carry stuff in, most SAC is made out of woven straw.

yeah i'm kinda glad i don't have a CC. i would buy way to much shit online. but i am a really impulsive buyer, if i see something i usually justify a reason to buy it within 15 minutes...

same, but in a lot of ways I think my purchases through A LOT. probably too much. like with big stuff I usually do a ton of research and take a long time to decide. but then sometimes I just get overwhelmed and don't get anything at all, so it's good to be spontaneous to an extent.

its usually stuff that i need. but a lot of the time i spend more than i should. like i got some 180 dollar oakley half jackets for some reason. that was a waste of money.

 and its always the same old story, you go into a store knowing what you want but you see something else or you rationalize it at the time saying "its not that much more, etc etc."

jeans, underwear and summer dresses are my downfall.

Exactly.

I went on an Oakley binge a few months ago, but it was at an outlet so it was ok.

I wanted to get some armadas, I dont remember which ones anymore, for only 250 last year and was about to get them but I didnt.  Im glad i didnt.  There is nothing wrong with my skis except my boot is too big for the bindings so i have to get them remounted.  shit

Im sorry it had to be done...We have been fucking with them long enough.  Its a good college and is know for its shopping center full of people that impulsively buy.  They have to travel all the way here first so we have some time to hang out sans gapers

AAAAA WINK!!!
