Well for my 18th birthday I went over to my friends pad. It's about a 20 minutes drive from my house so it's pretty relaxing knowing no one's about to come and kill the day. But anyways, I was out buying a new bong. This would be my second bong in my life time. My first one was a tragic yet very careless mistake but that's a whole different story.
I went to this amazing smoke shop, it has so many damn pipes, bongs, crack pipes (lol) and all these crazy ass stem (bowl?) pieces. I bought this sweet ass 10 or 12 inch bong. The bottom is green and when the light reflects off it the color is like looking at oil, crazy multi-colors. But anyways as I was buying it I looked at the bowl piece. I was dissapointed that it was the same as my last one (which broke easily while i was cleaning it) and I really didn't want to keep it. Mind you, there we some CRAZY ass bowl pieces that were really thick and nice for only 8-15 dollars!
Well I got it, and was thinking about it the whole way back to his pad. I pack a bowl (I had just bought a half oz for my B-day) and I take the first hit. Amazing, I havn't hit a bong in over 3 months. About the 7th or 8th bowl (after the first 2 we decided to pack snaps because it was just sucking through due to how new it was) we decide we're feeling pretty good and it's time to go in the house. Well he brings out the plastic bag that i bought it in and I was carefully putting it on the bong holding it as tight as I could when I hear some glass piece drop and snap. For about 10 seconds I was thinking - "No fucking way" and never looked down untill my friend picked up the broken pieces and showed it to me. Well I was pissed at first becuase I had not had this sucker for more then a hour and it was already dead. :mad:
The weird thing is, I wanted to buy a new bowl piece the entire time that I had my bong. The way it fell out of the bong was that the plactic was apparetnly strong enough to push it up and out while i was covering it (bottom to top - yes I know i'm a fuggin retard) and then came the "crack."
I want all of your opinions on this. Was this fate? Was I bound not to have that piece and to get a new, better one that I felt was good enough for my new bong? I was not sad that it broke - I was angry that I didn't buy a differnet bowl piece.
:mad:
