I can't let this shit go on no mo'.

In the last three monthes or so, I've broken like 5 downstems on my bong.

Probably two or three pipes...

And I still can't believe I ever let my original glass pipe (well I had others before it, but none that I took any pride in) and the original shroom bong break.

Well... I'm just done, man.

I'm not going to stop getting glass, but I'm not going to get another glass pipe (which is what I just broke tonight, it was like a $20 thing that I got for half off) until I save up enough money to get one I thuroughly like, which isn't that much money, and get that. I tend to be hard on stuff that ya know I'm glad I have but could do without, but when it's something nice, I get SUPER protective.

Also... My room is always a mess, and that makes it worse for my bong (particularly the downstem. Not the slider bowl, the downstem in which you put the bowl.) I can't change that, so I'm changing how I use the bong. It's going to go from a daily thing (I have a 3 foot acrylic ghetto rigged pile that I could use anyway) to maybe a tri-weekly deal. Special sessions and shit, with some reason to use it. Other than that, I aint leaving water in it, infact, I'ma put the fucker in my guitar case (which I don't use/ever open.) Or, up on a display shelf, where it wont be touched.

It's not even the money issue (well that's an issue but not the one that gets me...) I want my damn pipes to last. I just name them or start to really like them, and it's gone, or temporarily broken, etc.

Anyone else ever have a revelation like that...?
