Problem

It's about my camera. As you know, it is broken and can't be repaired.
At least I don't think so, because there are the same symptomes, as the last one (same model) had and it was not repairable (the had no replacing parts because the camera is so old).

Now, see this:

* * * * * * * * Camera 1 * * * * * * * *

Pros:
+ It's in ebay germany, so shipping will not be that expensive
+ It's not exactly the same camera, it's a smaller one and therefor it will be cheaper (about 40 Euro or so I guess)
+ It will be here quickly

Cons:
- It IS money, no matter how much I don' really have any money left right now, I should save it.
- It's not the same camera, there seems to be no macro function, which I used often, the zoom is not as good.
- It's 14 years old, if it breaks, there will be no replacible parts as well.


* * * * * * * * Camera 2 * * * * * * * *

Pros:
+ It's exactly the same camera I have now, I *know* it, I *know* it takes great photos
+ Even if it goes up to $70, it's a good price for it.

Cons:
- It's sold in the US, shipping will be very expensive.
- It this one breaks also, I still have no guarantee and it also maybe can't be repaired (if the reasons from the last two are a weakness).
- All in all I will *at least* pay $100, I don't have that money, transferring the money will also be expensive.
- It could take very long until it's here, I will/may not have it before I move.

* * * * * * * * No camera * * * * * * * *

Pros:
- I save the money which I need badly for colonge and the move there.
- I can later buy a better one.

Cons:
- I wanted to take photos of different people I rarely see, before I move to colonge (But maybe I could lend a camera for that, I'd have to do it anyway with 'camera 2')
- I can't take *any* photos right now.
- The 'buying another camera later' may result in a very long time without camera.

So, what?

Subway to Sally - Wenn Engel hassen

Wenn Engel hassen

Als er aufstand an dem Morgen der sein letzter war,
schien die Sonne und die Vögel kreischten laut.
Eine Woge von Verlangen stürzte über ihn
und klebriger Tau bedeckte die Haut.

Durch den aderblauen Himmel ging ein breiter Riß,
dunkle Wasser brachen über ihn herein.
Eine unbekannte Macht erhob sich tief in ihm,
und mit einem Mal war ihm alles klar,
dass nichts mehr so wie gestern war.

Wenn Engel hassen
stürzen sie wie Steine aus dem Himmelszelt;
wenn Engel hassen
fliegen sie als dunkle Vögel in die Welt;
wenn Engel hassen
landen sie als schwarzer Schatten der uns quält
und nehmen Rache
an den Menschen, die gefallen sind wie sie.

Als er aufbrach ließ er alles hinter sich zurück,
seine Schritte waren federleicht und frei.
Unterm Mantel trug er einen kalten schwarzen Stahl,
er lächelte leis und summte dabei.

Seine Hand gab sieben Menschen einen schnellen Tod,
bis ihn selber eine Kugel niederwarf.
Wer ihn kannte sagte, dass es seltsam war,
denn glücklicher hat man ihn nie gesehn.
Der Glanz eines Engels war auf ihm zu sehn.

Wenn Engel hassen ...
