Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
I was having a horrible day, I had a dental appointment, feeling grouchy, woke up at 747am. It was suppose to be my day off.
I decided to leave early, since I figured they would let me out early. I had to do some Christmas shopping for my parents and I remembered that I needed to find a wireless router to see how much they were, since I was discussing this with Strubes last night.
I passed by the bargain bin of games, stating "All titles $20.00 & Under".
Well low and behold, on top of this distorted pile of terrible Wii games like Avatar, Shrek the 3rd, Hanna Montana Goes to DooDoo Town and etc. etc...
There, by itself, lay a sadden, lonely GameCube game...that was a sealed copy of....
Scary isn't it? The single most expensive US GameCube release, in a dumpy crummy Wal-Mart in the middle of Waco Texas.
It's price tag....$14.88....I know that, because I will keep this receipt and proudly show it to all fellow collectors.
It was like seeing the baby Jesus in the manger almost, same scenario, a poor little place in Bethelhem, yet a baby delivered unto the people, with a radiant light upon him. I almost cried, because it was too beautiful to believe that this could come into my grasp.
And it taught me much today, when everything seems to be at it's worse, when life has really kicked you down, just remember, when you're not looking, there's a spot of happiness waiting for you at the end of your dark tunnel.
It's the simple things in life that matter the most, no matter how meek they may seem, you should cherish it.
