10 Embarrassing Things I Spend Money On

Category: General


1. Wrestling PPV. I always get together with a group of guys and buy Wrestlemania every year. Does this make me more gay, more of a geek or more manly?! hmmm

2. Fiber One bars with 35% of your daily fiber. I eat these bars to keep me full and “regular”. Do I have a problem going poops? Nope.. hmmm then why all the fiber?!

3. Domain Names: I own 5 domain names you know .com’s? I probably really only need 2.
gocomputerhelp.com, thepredicates.com, greggoconnell.com, pressthedpad.com, SDFoodGuys.com.

4. Natural Deodorant. The regular kind with aluminum gives my arm pits a rash that even Satin couldn’t handle! The burning and redness make my arm pits look like little skin volcanos erupting with piss and vinegar.

5. Wellness Dog Food. Yes I fell into the designer dog food craze. Why? Because it contains healthy safe ingredients even more healthy than what I eat. Does that make me a stupid loser that only a mom could love? Probably…

6. $3 “spring” water at restaurants because I don’t drink tap. The shit that’s in tap water would amaze you! Don’t ask me what’s in it because I really don’t know but I assume a lot of bad shit is.

7. $12/month on HBO so I can watch Sorpranos & Big Love. I love the Mafia and Polygamy! Who wouldn’t wanted 3 wives?

8. MP3Tunes. This is a online music backup service. I have all my music that I’ve downloaded backed up here. I also have my music backed up on my computer and iPod. gregg = nerd

9. Electronic Gaming Monthly. This is a video game magazine. I am on the old side for people that subscribe to this magazine. Most of the people who subscribe probably have their parents pay for their subscripton. I on the otherhand pay for it all by myself!

10. QVC. This is the shopping network on TV. I’ve actually bought a TV, computer and Emily bought me a grill that I was drooling over. I’m in love with this channel. Give me QVC, HBO, OXYGEN, NBC, ABC, FOX & History Channel and I’m a happy cable subscriber!

    Getting Wrestling PPV doesn’t make you gay, it make you more of a geek… and I watch wrestling all the time.. My friend C and i are on the phone everymonday watching RAW.. I don’t watch PPV’s thought cause there is too much blood. but it’s cool that you do

    What’s thepresspad.com all about?

  3. dirty May 10th, 2007 12:11 pm

    I love the show Big Love…I want 3 husbands.

  4. gregg o'connell May 10th, 2007 12:48 pm

    julianne: of course you like wrestling..you’re from canada!

    ericaap: pressthedpad.com is my video game blog!

    dirty: Big Love is a sexy show for sexy people!

  5. kyle May 10th, 2007 2:30 pm

    Gregg… no entourage? It’s probably the best show on pay per cable.

  6. Gavin Elster May 10th, 2007 2:54 pm

    #1 makes you gay.

  7. gregg o'connell May 10th, 2007 6:31 pm

    kyle: i watch Entourage but it’s not HBO’s best show maybe their 3rd best.

    Gavin: watching wrestling is more of a macho thing to do you could ever dream

    I waste my money on PPV UFC fights. I’m such a loser.

  9. gregg o'connell May 10th, 2007 7:54 pm

    boobs: ho much do you spend on porn?

  10. kyle May 10th, 2007 8:36 pm

    I think if they upped the show to an hour format, entourage would be better than everything else on HBO.

  11. Xtina May 10th, 2007 8:48 pm

    Don’y be so hard on yourself… I’d only be embarrassed about 5 of these things (not 10). :)

    Seriously, Gregg, your self-depracating humor is why I love your blog!

  12. gregg o'connell May 10th, 2007 8:56 pm

    kyle: if they made Entourage it would be 30 mins too long…

    Xtina: thank you very much I sure wish I knew what “Self-Depracting” meant..it sounds nice :)

  13. Mike Honcho May 11th, 2007 6:22 am

    I personally like the HBO specials, like cathouse or G-String Divas.

  14. gregg o'connell May 11th, 2007 6:24 am

    mike: there’s only one chick on cat house that i’d wanna get with. she’s the white chick with brown hair and she likes chicks and dudes…you know who i’m talking about? her name is like amber or something

  19. Angela May 11th, 2007 7:53 am

    I gotta say, the extra money I spend for HBO each month is WELL WORTH IT. Besides, the Sopranos season box set is so much more expensive when you really think about it. :)

  20. gregg o'connell May 11th, 2007 8:03 am

    angela: not only do you get Sorpranos but you also get the free softcore porn along Taxi Cab Confessions

  27. gregg o'connell May 11th, 2007 9:19 am

    I agree with “dirty” - I want three husbands also. But I get to pick them out of course.

  30. gregg o'connell May 11th, 2007 9:40 am

    Dina: you’d probably also want the 3 houses to right? Just in case you got sick of one of the husbands you’d have 2 more houses you could get away from the crappy one in!

  34. Erica AP May 11th, 2007 10:54 am

    My mom told me last night to put up a Youtube video of myself singing so that I can become famous… Haha… She’s so funny.

  35. gregg o'connell May 11th, 2007 11:04 am

    erica: a mixtape of your favorite songs and sell it!

    I went to Wrestlemania when it was in Philadelphia about 10 years ago. I have since given up watching wresting as watching men in speedo shorts grab each other could mean gayness. LOL.

    I buy $100 shoes, yet refuse to spend $20 on a shirt.

    I buy $7.00 subs from d’angelos yet refuse to buy the hood milk for $4.89 because its not on sale.

    I gues it depends on what your priorities are.

  58. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 6:57 am

    Mikki: you put everything into perspective thats for sure…people are definitely fuckin crazy

  59. Mikki from Boston May 24th, 2007 6:57 am

    I am embarrased to admit that i spend money on a yearly membership to the gym but I never go.

  60. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 7:02 am

    Mikki: that is very American of you
