Lousy buddhist

Here are some of the things I gave up since I claimed I was becoming a buddhist five years ago:
*1992 Plymouth Voyager
*An occasional mild drinking habit
*Acquisition of more material things and piling-up of more debt
*Anger
*Other harmful emotions

Here are a few of the things I've acquired:
*BMW R1200C motorcycle
*Acura CL
*BMW R1150GS motorcycle
*Cool PDA phone
*A serious alcohol addiction
*About $30k more debt
*A house
*An open position in the significant other category

Sorry...

... if you came here looking for something pithy. I just created this account so I could post a comment on a friend's blog.
