As some of you know, I've spent Christmas alone in California. My girlfriend, like 90% of Silicon Valley workers, has returned home for the last two weeks of the year. This has left me here alone with little other option but to buy a Playstation4 to amuse myself. However, as many of you know, I am nigh on broke from my visa processing, starting-up costs here in California and the 40" 1080p 12hz LCD I just bought myself.
What does this arsehole want from me? Fair question. As I'm sure you all know, it was recently my birthday - but with me being in California, I wasn't in a position to receive the Birthday Beers / Birthday Bundys that I'm sure all my generous and good-looking friends would have showered me in. All I ask is that if you feel you would have spotted me a pint, rum, pizza, slab, bottle of plonk or box of claret, you donate to my frivolous time-wasting device comfortable in the knowledge that you are still slowing my mental development.
Rewards are not rewards, they're indicators
I don't think you need me to explain this to you do I? Think of them more as an indicator of your love for me.

I used to date a girl with a lazy eye... it turns out she was seeing someone else the whole time.
I entered a snail in a race and removed it's shell thinking that might make it go faster. If anything it just became more sluggish.
I bought a pair of shoes off a drug dealer. I don't know what they were laced with but I was tripping all day!
A PS4 is $299 US here, which is about $410 AUD. I don't expect to make that target, but every little bit helps. For as little as 82 dollars a day I could be avoiding being alone with my thoughts inside a week. Of course this could all go belly-up and you could spend your money on more worthy causes, which obviously I don't have the time to list here, but suffice to say there are many people in the world who don't have any food to eat and I am led to believe that some of those people also do not have PlayStations.
The main hurdle in the completion of this project will be justifying the spend to my beloved. That's where your help is so vital! If the Playstation has essentially been gifted to me by well wishing friends, then who could possibly deny you your Christmas wish?
