What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income? (leminal.space)

I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

Turntables and a mixer. When I was about 10 I saw Run-DMC on TV and wanted to learn to DJ, but my mother just laughed saying I already had a record player and they didn’t need to but me a second one.

That's a great hobby! I got turntables when I was 17 and it really depended my connection to music. May I recommend the book "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" by Bill Brewster. It's a great read on the history of DJing!

Yeah that book is great and I went on to DJ at many clubs and parties just to show my mother why you need two turntables.

That's awesome! Keep that fire burning!
