Because, oh my goodness, I do. Are you kidding me? I absolutely do. I would positively love to read through a list that Gary Busey made himself of every single item in his possession. I think it would be a magical journey that we would all grow from, don’t you?
I didn’t think this would ever be possible, but surprise! It is. Since Gary Busey has filed for bankruptcy, he’s taken it upon himself to make a list of all his personal assets, including all the junk he has around his house. And it’s everything I thought it would be.
Here’s part of the list, along with all the details of his debt, from TMZ:
Busey recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy … and according to new docs Gary filed in federal bankruptcy court, Gary says he owes $508,600.96 in various debts.
According to the docs, Busey claims his main creditor is Uncle Sam … admitting he stiffed the government out of $451k in state and federal taxes from 1998 to 2009.
Problem is … Gary claims he only has $26,225 in personal assets … including $1,200 in various bank accounts and a $7,000 security deposit with his landlord. Gary then lists EVERYTHING he owns … including:
Entertainment — 2 tvs, DVD player, old large tape recorder, small tape recorder, boom box, bookends, 50 hardback books, 100 compact discs, 300 VHS tapes, 100 DVDs, 200 cassette tapes.
Art — painting of an Indian, old bull’s head, 5 pairs of old moccasins, 2 small decorative teepees, 4 clay vases, Indian style bowls, small figurine of bald eagle, old bows and arrows.
More Native American Stuff — Fabric strap with an attached eagle talon, beaded necklace with an attached arrowhead, bolero necklace with black and white ying/yang pendant.
Random Crap — broken pellet gun, Rollerblades, 2 old surf boards, boogie board, old mountain bike, old Nikon film camera.
Instruments — electric guitar, Collings SJ acoustic guitar, 12 string Guild acoustic guitar, Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, amplifier, J200 acoustic Gibson guitar, 2 tambourines.
Gary also says he rents a storage unit, in which he keeps old electronics, personal documents, Mother’s furniture/piano and old broken drum sets.
In the docs, Gary says he still makes $19,730.71 per month … but he SPENDS more than $22k per month on things like living expenses and daycare for his newborn son.
Gary’s rep tells TMZ, Gary “is following the example of many successful buisiness people such as Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Donald Trump, Francis Ford Coppola, Larry King, and many more Americans who have also utilized the tool of Bankruptcy to gain a fresh start.”
The rep adds, “Remember, the Buseyism for FAILING is: Finding An Important Lesson Inviting Needed Growth.”
So basically all I want to know is this: when are we all going to Gary’s house so we can jam with all his sweet instruments (I call a tambourine!) and watch some cool VHS tapes? Oh wait, Gary didn’t list a VCR … can someone bring one? And some Bagel Bites and Sunny D? AWESOME.
Color my insane but I think meeting and talking to Gary would be a total hoot!
