The Hard Choices
So which Panasonic High Definition Mobile Camcorder is it going to be? Are you going to go with the Red or the Gray? Come on, there isn’t much time to choose. Just pick one and let’s be on our way.
Oh. Really? That’s your choice? Huh. I didn’t expect that at all.
No, it’s cool. It’s just, you know, after what happened, I figured you were going the other way, that’s all. When I think about it, it’s actually quite a brave choice considering everything that’s gone on since the accident.
But hey, don’t give it another thought, okay? You need a mobile camcorder that records high-quality full-HD 1920 x 1080/30p movies and shoots still images with up to 8-megapixel resolution, and this certainly fits the bill. It’s even got a few recording modes, like Sepia, Monochrome, and Soft Skin. I’m sure those will be perfect for adding just the right touch to a video of your father crying his eyes out. Because you know that’s what he’ll do when he sees the color you chose, right? And I bet that Electrical Image Stabilization is gonna come in real handy when your siblings are trying to rip the thing out of your hands, demanding to know “what is wrong with you, you sicko.”
But that’s on them! Clearly you’ve moved on since that awful night. How other people feel shouldn’t concern you when making a gadget purchase! Why should it? It’s not like you cared much about anyone other than yourself before it happened, so why should anything change afterward? And besides, it’s just a color, right? Sure, it just happens to be the color of the thing that your family associates with pain, sadness, and loss, but whatever. It’s your camera and it will always be your camera, even if they decide to shun you for the rest of their lives for what you’ve chosen.
Or you could choose the other color. I’m just sayin’.
