Sad-time

Todays date and day is 11\3-10 and its Thursday.
Its a nice day, no doubt about it. But actually i could call this a Friday due to my day off tommorow. Finally.

Have been working alot of weekends and alot of overtime so it was time to have a day off.

Jessica and i decided to go to some shops yesterday, not the usual shops like Mediamarkt, Siba or ICA Maxi. But... second hand shops!

At first i was tempted to buy something useful at home, but after a couple of minutes in the shops we started to both get anxiety issues.
All the things in the shops, everything, had a history. I mean, some old man had that golf club, he bought it for alot of money, and when he died, his relatives just gave it away.
And now it stands there in the shop, rusting away, costing about 20 kronor. Its sad.

Sure, you can get a bargain when buying these things, because they are cheap, and they probably have a value somehow to the buyer itself, but the history is still there.

I cant buy a teddybear that i like because somewhere inside of me the only thought would be "whats the history behind this bear, why is it here, why didnt they like it, what happened to the child, why does it smell funy" etc.

Some people might like it, i dont.

I dont blame or look down on people who shop there because its their pick, they like the history or sometimes they just dont have the economy to buy expensive new stuff.

But the really sad thing is, that in the future, my Xbox360, PS3, TV, Reciever and so on will be in a store like that, on a shelf, smelling like old dusty useless stuff.

When i was young my brother and mother sometimes went to Hisinge Marknad, i found that store yesterday and checked it out, and i could recognize some stuff in the store, nobody had bought it in 15 years, it was still there. Second-Hand, old and full of history, happiness gone lost.

See my point here?
