As the title says! What are some weird things you have on your desk? I have a few plants (a jade plant, most importantly. It won't die. I've tried). A hole punch for no reason at all. A guitar pick. No, I do not own a guitar.

It covers all the highlights and then some! It is actually very well done. Custom cowboy boots with Presidential Seal, Patriotic boxer shorts, dress shirt, tie, slacks and jacket with Flag pin. Shirt even has appearance of cuff links.

I'm not a hater. I will never forget 911 and how the President responded on the pile of rubble to comfort the country - unscripted. Was he perfect? Hell no. I do believe his heart was in the right place and that is proven by the countless hours spent with American warriors and their families still to this day. He has my respect even if I didn't agree with every thing 100%.

I do have a 3ds staring at me from the drawer. It's one reason why I haven't bought the switch yet: I know it'll end up collecting dust somewhere. On the other hand, at least the price will drop since the new one (which isn't really different at all?) was just announced.
