So much for the Neighborhood Crime Watch

I woke up Sunday morning with a missed call from Dan Burgan from 1:41AM. I am definitely not the person that he usually drunk dials, so I was somewhat concerned. I gave him a ring and I found out that he was calling to let me know our apartment was broken into, and we were robbed. Of course, we have nearly nothing of value in our apartment minus a television from 1997, some very random DVD's and PS2 games, and my PS2 which doubled as our DVD player. So whatever, the douche bags got off with a couple of old video games and videos, total loss less than a couple hundred dollars (if everything was all new). However, something that was stolen was my box set of HBO's Band of Brothers. It is my favorite movie/miniseries ever. I can watch those episodes over and over again, I knew each character, it inspired me to learn more about European/world history, blah blah blah...

It was the last Christmas present my mom had given me.

Now I know what people mean when they say that "their whole lives were in that house." Losing a DVD does seem very trivial, in fact, it IS very trivial. It is now like I lost something that I had of ours, somethat that her and I shared and loved. I know that those moments and that love was not stolen from me along with the videos, I know that completely. Its just a crappy situation.

O bla di, o bla dah

Gone Fishin'

This is the first fish I caught this summer at ASC. Down on the Allegheny by Old Bud's Place it was a fine rock bass. Don't worry, I did get him back in the water and he did swim off just fine, but I think he was late for that appointment.

POD


I took this picture on Thursday I believe, after listening to The Kinks for a long time. Some of my friends got a picture message from me with the same caption:

"I don't feel safe in this world no more/I dont want to die in a nuclear war/I want sail away to a distant shore/and make like an ape man"

Yes, those awesome sunglasses ARE Faded Glory brand from Walmart. No, they are no longer in production. Its funny because the sun glare protection is getting weaker and weaker...Faded Glory???
