Bottom of the barrel..

Here i am, three days into December... and i thought the next time that i blogged, it would be in the spirit of the season.

I would love to have started this post off with christmas cheer and wishes.. even though i have christmas music playing... im ploughing through a mountain of christmas cards... (i know Cath... i said "NO christmas cards this year"..) and im merrily making good way on Matts Album, i have to blog/vent/post about something that i have just had brought to my attention.

Can you remember a while back i made a castle, house and pirate album for a store online to take to a paper show in Brisbane and then Sydney? Well... it has been a while since i recieved back the castle and house although I have been chasing them up over my pirate album.

Aaaaanyway... i just recieved an email back saying that it is in the post.. (i hope this is the case) although, it was with much sadness that they inform me that one of the pages had been stolen while it was on display at the show in Sydney.

WTF!?

Come on... honestly..... what would someone want with a page in an album that they know nobody in? Should i be flattered that it was obviously so damn fantastic that someone thought it was worth stealing in the first place? Grrrr... I dont think so... im not flattered... im friggin' pissed off!

This has to be the lowest act imaginable.. These things are offered up generously by artists so that those visiting the show can be inspired and see what possibilities lay waiting to be tried.

Not to mention that there was a dedication inside the cover of this album... it was for my son. Who steals from a child?

What is the world coming to!?

What makes me sadder... is that while i have ahd my albums travel over to America and its states, not once but on a few occassions... and have things on display in stores... this happened in Australia!!!

It did not have to go through customs... fly half way round the world... sit on a shelf in a chaotically busy CHA...

all it had to do was sit on a shelf and survive two weekends!

I dont hold the store accountable for what happened... although.... im a strong believer in KARMA... what goes around... comes around... sometimes quicker than one would envisiage...

Its 3 days into december and i have lost just a little faith in mankind... what a wonderful start to what is meant to be the festive season... huh!?

Bah humbug!
