Dear Santa,<\/p>\n

The following is a list of just some of the items I want for Christmas this year. I know in the past I’ve written these letters in the hopes of getting items that will make my life ever so complete, but I usually don’t get any of these things. What’s up with that?<\/p>\n

I know…perhaps you’re too busy reading silly children letters instead of coming here to my great blog to read my list. Perhaps since I’ve moved you can’t find my address (hint: Google maps)?\u00a0 Or maybe perhaps some of the items on my list are just way to expensive for you?\u00a0 (don’t you get a volume discount with your elves?)<\/p>\n

Whatever your reason Santa. Just know I’ve been a very good boy and I think I deserve some if not everything on this list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’d love a new Wacom Pen & Touch tablet<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve been using the same tablet for the last 8 years now and I wouldn’t mind a smaller one I can take on the road with me. While you’re at it Santa, Wacom’s pen-on-screen Cintiq<\/a> is sexy too. Especially when I want to rub my drawing pen across some porn images.<\/li>\n
  2. I could use a couple of Zumbrella<\/a>‘s Santa. No, not so much for the rainy season, but I’m hoping they’ll help me shoot better portrait photos. While you’re feeling generous, I can’t hold these Zumbrella’s with my hands while shooting my camera. So a couple matching stands<\/a> would make me eternally grateful. Otherwise, a good ring flash<\/a> would do the trick as well, but then you’d have to get me a new strobe too. I won’t be greedy.<\/li>\n
  3. What good is a couple of lights if I don’t have a good lens to shoot with? This tiny little white Canon 70-200 f2.8L lens<\/a> is just what I need. You can appreciate it’s just as white as the snow in the North!<\/li>\n
  4. A PlayStation 3<\/a> would be nice. We all know it’s one of the best Blu-Ray players around. I want my little 11 month old boy to enjoy his educational programs in the crispiest picture available. You know I’m all about thinking of others before myself<\/li>\n
  5. Finally Sant’s…if you’re feeling generous this year. I might as well wish for the same thing I’ve been wishing for in the past 15 years in the hopes you’ll someday deliver this to me wrapped up in a big red bow. I know it’s hard to get a Porsche Carrera S<\/a> stuffed into your sleigh. But I have faith that you’ll think of a way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s all. Only five measly things. Because I’m all about selflessness, peace, love and harmony.<\/p>\n

    Love, Me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
