so tonight i had like 8 friends over for poker and shit. so we played poker for a few hours (10$ buyin, busted out shortstack a2 vs 4To...dealer fucked up and dealed the flop too and he saw flop and i didnt when he called...) Anyways then we played some PS3 and then jsut started horsing around throwing shit. At this point i'm like "wow i should really move my oakleys, there's no reason for them to be here anymore and only bad can happen with them on the table" so i move them to the other side of the basement where we weren't fucking around and put them on the counter. At the end of the night i'm grabbign my shit and pick them up, half the frame is twisted with one of the lenses popped out. I called anyone that might've known anything and nothing.
I loved those sunglasses. My dad got them for me the day i got my driving license. I've had them for ~14 months now, and have done damn near everything in my power to keep them in mint condition. I always keep them in their pouch, clean them regularly, put them away. They were part of me. I promised myself i would have them for at least a decade and never let anything happen to them.
Part of my soul has died tonight. I will take them to an optometrist or the oakleys store and see if the rend in my heart will ever be mended. Even if it is, there will always be a scar.

Meh, for some reason I clicked back rather than post.
You may have left them near the boiler or something?
Oakley makes thousands and thousands of glasses in each model, I can almost guarantee regardless of what you had, you will be able to buy a replacement and not notice the difference.
What did you have anyway?

Denial is a powerful thing my friend.

That sucks man, especially since you specifically moved it out of the way in case of such a thing. Hope you find who did it. >:[

Well, I'm sorry it upset you so much. Sorry for your loss.
Still, best not to cultivate an attachment to things. They are sunglasses.

Sux, but it's just an item...you can probably get the same one or a very similar one again. Don't get attached to possessions, makes no sense. Still hope you can get them fixed tho.

There you go mate, just grab another pair and live in denial for the rest of your life.
Oakley needs uniformity throughout their sites.
That model is $145(USD) on the American Oakley site, which works out to $167(AUD) But it costs $264.95(AUD) which works out to $230(USD) on the Aussie Oakley site.
My pair cost me $160(AUD) but I could have got it for like $100(AUD) if I had bought it from the US Oakley website.
Cunts...

Just pretend they cost 1 dollar at the dollar store, then even the sentimental value will go to shit. I hate sun glasses.
