Everyone has their hobby... I personally don't see why someone would spend the better part of a house on a piece of body art (Tatoo)... however I see the beauty in that art, I don't question their motives to turn their arm/shoulder/back into a work of art... I simply appreciate it.

There was a day when someone getting a tatoo as such would have received much grief...

I've got a $3000 earring myself... it's a long story about how I got it, but it's a diamond from my ex's engagement ring and the reason I chose to do it was personal, and as a reminder to not take bullshit again like I did... I get questioned regularly why... but hey, it's my art.

I've got a pretty serious setup at home for my computers, it's not as nice as what many of you have here, but it's definitely not bad either. Three LCD's driven by two systems... Athlon 64's (6000 and 5600) with 2GB ram, high end nVidia cards (7900gt and 7600gs), lots of hard drive space, another lower range system for my DVR again with lots of hard drive space...

Luckily the folks I consider friends don't question me about it. Though I did catch some shit at work when I mentioned that I had a big parts order coming in and I wanted the afternoon off (PTO) so I could receive it and assemble... My boss considered denying the PTO til I said "It's not like you need to understand why I want time off, god knows it confuses me when you take PTO to work in your garden..."

Ultimately everyone has their own hobby and or vice, and those who embrace theirs and are truely amazing at it, will be either praised by those who embrace it as well, or disliked by those who don't understand it (or perhaps do, but wish they could afford it.)

I for one hate Xzin... simply because he can afford what I can't. It's simple isn't it?

If you need me I'll be pretending to play wow on my new printout of the 6 30" apple media displays I printed out...
