well here's my 1/2 cents......for what it's worth..... About two years ago I was living in Baton Rouge, LA. as I tried to find a job locally, I left my apt. all day when I got home that evening, I had noticed that the window to our apartment was smashed and the front door was unlocked.......when I finally went inside, I was met with uttter devastation......anything that wasn't nailed down was gone.......my drums, my personal items.....everything. Needless to say, I was devastated........later when I calmed down......albeit after a couple of drinks, and a few close friends to help me through..........I began to realize that it was just stuff........it could have easily been me lying there dead instead of a few broken knickkacks.........the powers that be must of been looking out for me that day. the only good that ever came of this is the deep insight that PEOPLE and not THINGS and the most precious things we can ever hold dear.......for as long as we survive...our music, our hopes, and our dreams has a chance to live on Am I angry that this was done to me? I was at first, now I have a sadness for those that feel they must steal from their fellow beings. but I remember a quote that my mother (may her soul rest in peace) used to tell me often..."And this too shall pass" All we can do is try to forgive those who do us wrong, and move on with our lives........anyway......that's my 1/2 cents worth.....
