Doesn't have anything to do with how good a friend he is. Just how he treats stuff that isn't his. I have good friends to whom I wouldn't trust any of my possessions, but I have others to whom I could indeed give a CD and expect to get it back within a couple of days.

Of course, I don't actually need to do that, because download.

All it takes is that one time, though...

I have another friend who is obsessively protective of his possessions, especially his books. The guy practically worships books. Of all the people in the world, I knew I could trust him with my 1951 edition of "The Hobbit," the pride of my book collection at the time. He was doing a presentation on "The Hobbit" and the various changes made to it from publication to publication.

Several months later he returns it to me with no dust jacket, the cover bent and frayed at the edges, and some of the pages warped after obvious liquid contact. The thing looked like it had been sexually molested by orcs.

I asked my friend "What the hell happened to it?," and he actually replied "That's the way it was when you gave it to me." To this day I have no idea what happened. After 20 years, he still claims he received it exactly the way he returned it. lol

It was then I decided that I will never lend anything I value to anyone, ever again. I'm sure whatever happened to my book was a complete accident, but I also know it would never have happened if I hadn't lent it out.

So if I ever do loan anything to anyone, it's a pretty good bet I don't give a shit what happens to it anymore. lol

Yeah, I hear that. I guess it's a bit like when you loan money to a friend, you have to be ready to never see it returned back to you.

Well, not that too many care now but here's the finalized list:

Seventh Wave
Life
Funeral
Christeen
Bad Devil
Earth Day
Nobody's Here
Slow Me Down
Hyperdrive
Coast
Supercrush!
Blackberry
Radial Highway

I ended up having to cut more than I wanted to to fit it :/ I hated cutting Kingdom but for my friend I think it was best. And I agree with the loaning thing. Avoid that at all costs.
