traumatic experience

my mind has been occupied with thousands of things. one is, "where the hell is my Maldita Vecindad- Monstro CD?" i have been looking for it all over my house. it is not there. i believe there are gremlins in this world and they hide all the things you are looking for at that specific moment when you get obsessed looking for them.

items missing because of gremlins:

Maldita Vecindad - Monstro CD. oh yeah signed by the band members!!!
On the Road- by Jack Kerouac (sp?) book.
Keys to my other two u-locks for my bike.
El Tri- ( i forgot the title) CD
The Cure- Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me CD
The Cure- Staring at the Sea Singles CD

i'm sure there are more items but i can't remember them at this moment. well...this is only part of the traumatic experience. the one i was really refering to was doing something really courageous. i threw all my cassettes. okay, not all of them. i could not part with REM, Depeche Mode, Ministry, Metallica and a couple of others. One by one i pitched them into a big bad of trash. i even put some of them on just to hear them. i put on iron maiden. i shook my own head and said what was i thinking. guns-n-roses. porno for pyros, cc and the factory, dishwalla, and other cassettes i would never listen to ever again. it was traumatic because some of these cassettes have been with me since i was in grammar school. scorpions- rock you like a hurricane. maybe there is still time to go get them from the trash. no...have to be strong. must not give in. okay, there it is catch you on the flip side.

My Shawshank edmption DVD mysteriously vanished 2 years ago(much like Andy Dufrense did in the movie) and I still haven't gotten over it. I should just go buy a new one but I'm still holding out hope that it will reapear.

Santiago, I am digging in your trash for all your cassette JAMS!!!!!!!!!! Sí hay duendes. They roam around and take mascara, cough drops and tacks.
