And I bet the idiot with my CD's doesn't even KNOW any of the damn bands!!

[Systematic Chaos]

Okay, so yesterday I took the bus to work and back, as I am now no longer able to drive the car that soon will no longer be mine. I brought with me my portable CD player and a vinyl CD wallet that had the following CDs in it:

Rush - "Rush in Rio"

Dream Theater - "Live at Budokan"

Pearl Jam - "No Code"

Conspiracy (Chris Squire of Yes' side project) - "The Unknown"

OSI - "Office of Strategic Influence"

The Beta Band - "Heroes to Zeroes"

In my infinite brilliance I managed to not properly return the CDs to my bag when changing a disc and now they're apparently lost forever. I called the CAT lost and found and nothing was turned in.

What's worst of all about this is that the live Rush and Beta Band CDs belonged to the goddamn library. The other ones, with the exception of "No Code", were less than two weeks old. I hadn't bought any music in over a year, and with all the stress I've been under lately I felt the need to splurge on something for the first time in f**king forever.

I bet the son of a bitch who has the CD wallet will just take the stuff they don't know (or have the intellect for) and toss it in a dumpster. I don't know whether to be angrier with myself or them. :(

1. O-o-h, I hate that!

I no longer take original CDs out of my home, since I've had so many stolen from vehicles, from work, etc.

I burn them onto CD-R, which no self-respecting thief would bother to steal (and if they do, I'm only out a buck or so per disc).

3. Yeah, thing is, I planned to burn the lot of them

I just hadn't had the time yet.

I could have had ALL OF THAT MUSIC on a single CD-R. Grrrrrrr....

2. You will probably never see them again

so lets just pray together that they get the plaque

4. In about 6 weeks/months, this won't even be an issue.

I'm sorry for you, but you will heal.
