Well that's probably the best gift from the grandparents i've ever heard of.

 

Meantime, despite my best protests, i got some stuff, mainly my new computer rig, which i paid for half, the rest was deemed a present, which i'm glad of, i could never have put this thing together myself without that extra money

As well as that, i got some george thuroughgood, rolling stones, stray cats and bob dylan CD's, a rat rod shirt my dad made for me, which is splendid, a new computer mouse shaped like a Camaro SS for some reason, neat, but a touch uncomfortable. As well as that, i got some headphones, a calender filled with obscure cars like the pontiac bonnivile and Nash Ramblers and such.

 

Oh, and yo dawg, i herd u leik hats

Of note, render times with my new rig are incredible. Just rendered a video, on my old machine it'd take about two, mabye three and a half hours, on the new one, less then ten minutes.

 

i bloody love this thing

I was gonna get a graphics card also, but I always spend more than I want to at Christmas and I spent like $100 or so on presents, so I'm back to around $100..

 

So right now, I'm sitting here installing five games (ROR, ArmA 2, ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead, and Battlefield 3), which will most likely take me the whole night at 10mbps. D:

My girlfriend drew a nice picture of my pets with colored pencils for me , and found the 1:64 Crushstation I've been pulling my hair out trying to grab. Besides that, pants and some money. I don't really want much anymore, so I'm pretty thrilled with my turnout.

For Christmas my Grandma gave me a card with 30 bucks in it. Mom and dad also got me a card. My best friend surprised me with this:

Grand-Prix-1966-Front-Cover-9106.jpg

If you haven't ever seen this movie, or heard of it, shame on you. One of my favorite movies. It's probably the reason why I have developed such a strong love and fascination for Formula 1. I didn't ask for it specifically or expect it. Needless to say it was the best gift I've gotten in a long time.

 

The intro still give me chills...

After my parents getting into some recent money. I honestly don't deserve all this. I have never been so spoiled in my life. But I guess this is what it feels like to be spoiled. So gracious to have people that love me and are always there for me, unlike for those who are less fortunate than I am. Thus why I thank everyone for the love and support that they always give me. And someday they will get what they've wanted.
