My friend had this eight track radio thing that was shaped like a globe. Loved that thing. It was so modern.

I always wanted Hanzie’s flamethrower…

When I was seven years old, I had a best friend called Matt. My friend Matt had a Chopper bike with a big flag on a spring on the back. He also had an Evel Kneivel Stunt set. He got them both for Christmas. I wanted them both off him very much.

His Dad died the following year, and suddenly I didn’t want the bike or the stunt set. I was just glad I still had my Dad.

Well, I was until I saw the brilliant toys he got from his relatives to cheer him up..!

I’ve never been materialistic. That said I wouldnt have minded my friends Castle Greyskull!

I remember a friend of mine proudly displaying his new Nintendo Power Glove at a birthday party. Shortly thereafter i discovered i had the ability to create and animate stories using an old eight-milimeter camera, bits of wire and other household minutiae, and patience. It’s natural to covet to an extent, sometimes when we see an object or a piece of clothing that gives tangible, exterior dimension and worth to something we feel but have difficulty expressing. Our wants reflect who we believe we are. But for every suppressed want, there is something internal that senses the opportunity to rise.

I still do… like some of my friends have really nice cars.

I always wanted a power-wheels as a child.

Yes, I seem to remember that happening in the 4th grade, but I really had everything I needed and more besides. It’s just that I wanted everything at that time.

yeah my friend’s dad goes to japan alot. she has so many japanese things. i want them! i want to go to japan too!

why do you want to know you dont get many points anyway

When I was a kid my friends always had the latest computers and video games but my family couldn’t afford the same for me. Now that I’m making a decent living of my own, I buy myself all the toys that I didn’t have as a kid… new laptop, Xbox 360, etc.
