    2012 I had a great trip... I went to Florida to celebrate my best friend graduating from commercial diving school... I landed in Jacksonville hung out there for a night and watch him get all his certs and diplomas, drove to Tampa Bay... Did all the Tampa Bay s--- for a weekend... Busch Gardens, clubs ect... Then drove to Orlando where we rented a house with a "Florida room" with a big pool and Jacuzzi and he knew some people to party with... Went to Epcot, then drove to Miami... Took in a couple of concerts and club hopped. Then I flew to New York as Huricane Sandy was coming in and following me to NYC... I caught a plane to Dublin where I spent a month in Ireland touring with one of my favorite bands who I'm friends with and rode on their bus... Went throughout both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland for over 20 shows in over a dozen cities and towns, plus saw Muse at O2 in Dublin... Flew back to New York visited both sets of grandparents in White Plains and Toledo, Ohio (that was the last time I ever saw my White Plains grandma), flew from Detroit to meet up with my girl in San Francisco... In one week in SF/Oakland I saw the Browns take on the Raiders front row directly behind the Browns bench, watched a Golden State vs. Denver Nuggets TNT game of the week courtside (met Pam Oliver, if that counts for anything), went a Bruce Springsteen concert in the same house the next day and was up against the front rail for the whole show... He kissed my girls hand and shook my hand 5 seconds before the big tribute to his passed friend Clarence Clemmons and then watched Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Book of Mormon" on its first off Broadway production. Flew home after basically a six week party. Proud that I did that for myself.

    Yeah, that was the reason I came back. Running was basically all did for a while. I was a bit depressed after the doctor told me I couldn't do it anymore. Running is to me what forums are to you.

    i've never been that big on material items. i drive a 1997 honda civic that looks more like a minnesota vikings mobile than a honda. i dress neatly, but i've never spent that much money on clothes. i'm black, and until recently, i had never had a pair of jordans. the only reason i bought the ones i currently have is because they were only like 80 bucks because they're an older pair of J's. really, the only thing i've spent a lot on is anything vikings related like jerseys, memorbilla, etc

    i enjoy spending my money more on experiences. some of my favorite hobbies are going to sporting events, traveling and going to concerts....all which are experiences, not things.

    things are stuff like video games, expensive whips, DVDs, etc.

    i don't know, to me, experiences are much more memorable than spending your money on things. i saw prince in concert on mothers day and it was incredible. something i'll never forget. when you spend your money on things, it's not nearly as memorable IMO. but i know everyone doesn't feel that way...

    now obviously ppl spend money on both..........my question is which one do you spend MORE on/prefer?

    I spend money on things that will allow me to enjoy my hobbies. Pick up truck, boat, fishing and hunting gear etc. Currently saving up to get a snowmobile and a 4 wheeler, I'd like to have both within a year from now.

    Wow that is great, I can barely keep a 7:57 pace for 3 miles, my best 5k time was an 8:20 pace so I got a ways to go. My half-marathon was 9:54 I think, it was pretty rough.

    Good for you though, that's awesome. I saw the top-10 finishers had a 5:50 something pace, ridiculous. What races did you run? Rock'n'Roll series by any chance?

    Good luck with your knee. I have been having knee problems too :emoji_neutral_face:

    could have fooled me since you spend your time making a fake account to like your own posts and even drive to an apple store to make another account

    Experiences - concerts, traveling to other countries, going out with friends, eating out, etc. I only buy things when I need them really, I honestly never even buy my own clothes or anything. For the most part I only own things I need, besides the iPad which I regret buying.

    I buy $30-40 Nikes from the Nike outlet like once a year though, since I run a lot.
