Ok heres the truth, along time ago in another city my brothers and I would go to the local grocery store to play video games. You remember don't you? You put the quarter in and if you were good you could play for a very long time, if you were bad at the game it would be over before it began. Lets just say I wasn't very good, but I did have alot of money. I had a paper route and was clearing close to two hundred dollars a month. What's a 12 year old to do with that kind of money?
Anyways, the story goes that we got busted. I lied about playing the video games, and my brother lost his wallet as he was "irresponsible in manageing his financial affairs". I look back now and the amount of money that I spent playing video games by the quarter I could have personally bought a couple of gaming consoles back then. Oh well it was fun, even if we were defiant to our parents. I played video games through most of high school, during the lunch hour, again I had a part time job at the mall, and was making more money than I knew what to do with. I was also into comic books and had a walkman.
Then I bought this ridiculously expensive discmen, it lasted forever. It was the top of the line with all the latest gadgets and improvements, it was miles ahead of anything my friends had or could aford. Anyways, I eventually left home for two years to serve, and when I got back my brothers told me they wrecked the discmen one day when they spilt some liquid on it. It was unrepairable. Looking back the amount of money I spent on that discman I could now have bought 6. But, we were even, yah?
