Sometimes Stuff Sucks

I saw Kaki King perform at Joe’s Pub tonight. She mentioned being ashamed for ever complaining about anything because so much stuff sucks for so many people right now. That type of thinking keeps me from feeling really terrible about leaving my wallet in a cab (I knew I shouldn’t of wasted money on a stupid cab) after returning from a marathon day of CMJ. I realized it immediately and tried chasing the cab down the street. He was too fast. I already felt pretty crappy (not just because I have a cold/fever/cough) about the loss of Aziz’s backpack (iPod and digital camera included) at last night’s show. Did I mention you should let me know if you found a backpack?

“At least 160 people were killed and 570 wounded in more than a dozen highly coordinated bombings – the capital’s bloodiest day since the end of major combat.”
