for jovie
nope not angry. allthough i do find it confusing how some peoples minds work.
i mean if tables were reversed and they have been i without a doubt would grab something i know that a friend of mine is into.
i must confess tho i did think it was pretty silly of him. i mean after all he has seen my collection and also has seen me show up with my boombox t shirt to practice several hundred times now.
for one of the smartest people i know i do think his intelligence button needs a touch of deoxit this time.
as for heading back there its gone. had to check it out this morning just had too.
im not to unhappy about tho.
things happen for a reason i mean he could have said nothing about it at all.
i checked out the watches this morning at the value village seeing as all the electronics were pilfered.
so there was this old sieko there it was a womans watch. i looked at the back of it and it had this weird gs gold badge on it.
hi beat automatic 23 jewels. the crystal on the front of it was all faceted and well it looked really cool.the band was shot and it was dirty for sure. watches are something i kind of keep a eye out for but i dont actively look for.
so i jetted off out of the value village no telefunken but a nice twelve dollar ninety nine cent wrist watch.
i wound the watch up and pressed it to my ear and it of course had sprung to life.
wow this thing ticks in a very strange fashion.
so i figured i would surprise the girl today and went off to the mall to get a new strap for it.
theres a place in there is a jewelers there so i jetted in.
i asked the woman at the counter if i could get a strap for this old watch i just got.
sure thing she said just go ask that guy over there.
so i walked over to see the old man behind the counter with the monocle up to his eye who was busy doing some crazy eleborate thing with tiny little pieces of shiny bits out of gold diamond encrusted monster.
i started to wonder if it is going to even be something he is going to work on i mean its just a old seiko watch.
can i help you he asked looking up from his current project with the monocle still implanted in his eye.
yep i got this old seiko watch i would like to get a band for . i dont want to spend to much money but do you think you could do it now.
so he gets up and walks over the counter i am at.
lets see this watch so i take it out of the value village bag plunking it down it in his hand.
i could see for sure it perked his interest.
hmmm he muttered. holding it up to his ear looking closely at it.
i have not seen one of these for a very long time you know that he says to me.
really this is a fine watch do you know that he said.
i thought it was just a old seiko.
no no no he says this is a grand seiko the best watches they ever made and its a pre quartz hibeat movement so its especially rare even this saphire cut crystal is very unusual.
how much did you pay for this watch he asked me as he did see me take it out of the value village bag.
so i told him i just got from value village for 12.99.
the funny corned beef smelling old watch maker looks at me and laughs
come on man
12 dollars and ninety nine cents.
yeah why is that good.
then the whole reminder of things happening for a reason kicked into place.
young man he said to me (i love it when old people still call me young man i am going to be 43 in two weeks)
to buy a watch similar in quality of this watch today will cost you hmmm
at least six thousand dollars. everything is quartz now junk in my eyes he says to me.
t i said come on
no i am serious even as this watch sits if you want to sell it as is right now you should be able to get a least a thousand dollars for it unserviced.
are you serious.
so by this time several people working there had come over to see my old junk watch concillation prize.
one of the chinese persons working there asked to touch me so i could give them luck.
it was all very strange.
so i got the band replaced i put a cheap 20 dollar strap on it and the old guy cleaned it up while i went to grab a donair from the mall food court while he did the work.
everything happens for a reason good or bad things are always in a state of flux and what is valuable in monetary terms is all a matter of personal desires and beliefs.
i would have never thought that watch was very valuable but for sure it was. the previous owner for sure didnt otherwise they would not have tossed it to value village.
so i was never pissed or angry with my band mate i still think he is a bit of a dullard for not cluing in but, if he had i would never have grabbed that watch.
a broke assed bum like me would never ever be able to give my girl something like that unless i took up crime as a hobby.
i mean taking a vow of poverty to pursue music and art full time is rough at times,but honestly in many ways i feel i am the luckiest guy around.
i have a killer synth collection home stereos my rich buddies wonder how they could sound better than there fancy new systems.
when i worked in managment i made good money
i was unhappy
i hated getting up i
the money was great but all we used to do was try to spend our way to happiness.
i bought things that had no value as a clerk would tell me it was the best thing in the world.
would i trade places with that life style for what i have now.
lately the thought has crossed my mind to bail on music and art.
i think that it would be foolish to do that at this point in time. i mean i am pretty lucky
being reminded that sometimes something that appears to be a crappolo deal can actually be a blessing is important.
there for sure is other things going on around us that place us in situations to teach us lessons.
sorry for the wandering post guys. i guess with the whole deal with adam i have been feeling a bit reflective on life in general.
i hope some of you enjoyed this long winding sometimes winding
tale
go get the bitch 
I think that's already happened.
