 Maybe if I had a lot more money and a very settle lifestyle, things would change?
I don't know, but I doubt it.

sounds kinda like me, lol.
the good thing about that is, ever since i started collecting, it was my goal to know more about these artifacts. knowledge. seems like when you discover something new, you appreciate it even more. even the plainest kris has story to tell. come to think of it, these commoner swords has the most story to tell. it's with that original owner 24/7. it was his pride and joy. now, nothing beats with that actual sword on your hand. you can only read so much about it, but once you got it in person, it takes a whole new meaning. think of it like a library: you borrow a book, you read it, once you get done, you return it. of course there are what i call the Keepers, which, weird as it may sound, you can actually feel if certain pieces wants to stay with you.
as for the wife, she doesn't have a room to complain. i don't remember complaining when she got them kitchen knives, lol
nah, she's cool with it...
