I started this rant thread mainly to expel some steam about my current situation, but, if you've got something bothering you, feel free to add your own complaints (keeping in mind, the sticky "no political discussion").
Alright, on Monday, I lost my CD Wallet. 48 of my favourite CDs that took about 2-3 years to get/find are now in the hands of someone else (or gone forever, 'cause it was garbage day the following day and it might have fallen next to a pile
). I had a soccer practice, and it started "hailing" (proper word?), so we all bolted back to school. As I was running, my backpack opened up and all my stuff fell out (I wasn't aware of this). As I got nearer to school, I heard a "clang" emanate from somewhere on the ground to my right. It was a medal I won at a Skills Competition. At this point, I was like "F***!" So I look around, and my keys are about 4 metres away. I pretty much hate myself at this point, so I grab my keys, chuck them in the NOW COMPLETELY EMPTY back pocket of my bag and trudge dejectedly into school, absolutely soaked with rain (1cm of water IN my cleats, alone. Did I mention I lost my right shoe in the storm somewhere, too?) Anyway, I take stock of my bag's inventory. Here's what was missing:
-Wallet
-Glasses
-Right Shoe
-Headphones
-Y-Splitter
-Another medal from another skills comp.
-CD Wallet.
Now, as ironic as it is, I missed my CD wallet the most, even moreso than my regular wallet. Plastic that no one else can use can technically be replaced easily. 1200$ worth of CDs, cannot. :x
So, I go back out (it's still pouring rain) and head back the way I came. It takes a good 20 minutes of searching to find most of my stuff. I ended up finding my wallet and my glasses, etc. But still no CD Wallet (or headphones, but they were crap anyway). I find my shoe hung on a fencepost. I almost didn't see it, 'cause it was in such a weird place. I go back to school and chuck all the stuff in my bag and then ask other people from the soccer team if they saw anything. No such luck.
I then go out another 4 times, in a span of an hour and 15 minutes and search EVERY FUCKING PLACE I can. Nowhere.
Now, the sun's coming out, finally, but I'm still drenched. I want to go home, but there's no one home to pick me up (Don't have a car :roll: ). One of my friends, who was still at school, helps me look for the Wallet for another 10 minutes or so. At this point, I turn it in. F*** it, essentially.
I do not listen to mainstream music. That wallet had ALL the Dream Theater studio albums, live albums, Liquid Tension, Explorer's Club, Ayreon, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Spheric Universe Experience etc. So if someone found it (no one's turned it in, as of yet) WHAT THE F***! I'm willing to bet some kid who listens to like, MTV crap, found it and is probably doing stupid stuff to them, like scratch them etc. I say this merely because of the fact that it's been 4 days since I lost it, so, y'know, turn it in!
The other reality I have to face is that maybe they got compacted by a garbage truck... :x
These CDs (music they contain, to be more precise) is my life. There is not one day where I don't listen to at least 2 of them. It's like having something stolen from you, except you realize it's because of your own stupid self.
F*** F*** F***!!! AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHH!!! :evil: :x
