Now I'm not normally an angry person. I'd say I'm a pretty mellow kinda guy most of the time. Most of the time. Except for when my mom pops in my room at 7:00 am to tell me that my car window has been smashed in and all my (at least a hundred) cd's have been taken out. I don't want to go up to see, but the anger has already started to boil up inside me. I try to forget her endlessly telling me not to leave them in there and that I should have known better and all that, but in the years of living here, there has never been a single instance of car theft or burglary. Although in the case of life, shit happens. And oh how it seemed to happen to me. I have to say that car break-ins annoy the living piss outta me and I know that I'm called to love as a Christian, but how can I do that when some crackhead/tweaker/whatever who just willingly defiled my car and took off with stuff that was not theirs! I also know that I should not be complaining because there are far worse off things in the world. Maybe this is God's way of saying I need to calm down and not be so comfortable with the style of life I've been living. I don't know what to think right now as anger courses through my veins. I'd hoped that my car would never get broken into but now it has happened and I'm devastated. I'll live and I luckily have all my cd's on my itunes so it's not like I can't just burn them onto blank cd's if I need to. It just stings me terrible to think that someone pulled the wool over my eyes and got the better of me. I'm embarrassed yet I have the rage of ten men. Sure I'd like nothing more than to see whoever stole my stuff to end up in jail and being man-handled by the police, but also I hope the guy/girl is okay and that whatever problems they're having in their life aren't so bad that they have to steal to survive. I feel sick and I don't know how long it's going to take for me to get over this. It's a complete shock to me. My friends car was recently broken into and had his cd's and his stereo stolen. I should have been more careful after that. It's a messed up world we live in and you can't be safe all the time. I guess that's what has been drilled into my head today. It's a terrible way to wake up though. But I should shut up now because I don't have it that bad. It's not as bad as I'm making it out to be. But wherever you are, stealing cd's isn't gonna help you mate. You gotta find something else for you life, cause obviously breaking into cars ain't cutting it. God bless you. Just don't scratch them, you stole some really good ones.

jon!
i am so sorry!
i cannot understand why someone would do such a thing.
how ridiculous!
music is enough of a lifeline for me that i understand your anger.
maybe they too needed those comforting words & melodies.
i admire your love though. yes you are angry, but you are also still trying to love the person, not an easy thing to do. again, i am sorry and i'm glad you do have the songs on the ipod. crazy fool of a thief. we can hope for better things for them. miss you.
They stole my f**king mewithoutYou CD's. I could tear them limb from limb for that!
One good thing is that they didn't steal my two smaller CD cases. So there's comfort in that.
