RE: The 47 year wait

in Galenkp's Stuff8 months ago

Hi Galen, There is one thing, I think only one, that I had to wait years to be able to have. My Trchnics SL-1200 MK2 turntable. I wanted one since I was 14 or 15 years old, and I didn't get one until I was 30. It's still an expensive whim, so when I had the money to buy one, there were always other priorities.

And I didn't want to miss the opportunity to show you my Star Wars trilogy pack on VHS. The box has deteriorated, doing some work at home (and the truth is I was very upset), the inside is impeccable and you can still see the films (the first montage of them). I also remember the premiere of Star Wars, I had to wait weeks to see it, and I still remember the impact it had on me and my friends.

In a few moments I will be leaving Madrid and will be out all day; so maybe not until tomorrow. Have a nice afternoon.

Best Regards

That's a cool thing to wait for and I'm glad you go it; you're right though, one must prioritise expenditure and if that means the need for patience...well so be it right?

Old School VHS Star Wars...Now that's older than Yoda! (Ok, maybe not quite that old.) It's cool that you have them on VHS although I don't even know if it's possible to watch VHS tapes any more.

So, enjoy Madrid, sounds legit; I want to go there one day.

What you say about VHS, at least I can't watch them, which says a lot about how rare human beings can be; an animal that keeps useless things. Or, from another point of view, how important are memories and the objects that hold them. Greetings
