since i'm turning 21 soon, i've spent some time, given some thought and have finally came up with this list to make your life easier.

1) a new case for my violin
rectangular one with good padding and fabric inside. preferably gold. brown on the outside.
you probably cant picture it since you dont play any fiddle yourself.
you can forget about item number 1.
2) a bow
my bow is balding and turning yellow.
what is a bow? even if you do know what it is, you probably dont know how to pick a good one. neither do i.
3) a wallet
im extremely fussy 'bout the leather and the pockets and zips. that explains why i havent found anything to replace my rotting one.
i advise you not to take the risk of getting something i dont like. dont torture me! i have to stick with it for years.
so please just void item 3.
4) a DSLR
need i say more?
ANY will do. even second hand third hand forth hand.
but nobody throws thousands around like that.
since you arent a rich man's daughter/son, please just move on to item 5.
5) a Ricoh GR Digital II
this costs a thousand odd as well.
now you get the drift.



the bottomline is, just DONT BOTHER.
