nothing, after a friend made off to Miami with my Beavis and Butthead CDs in 1996 and never came back.

P.I. seems to have a good lead on where he is now, so I'm renting a sports car and chasing the fuck.

Used to give away cherished possessions all the time.

Have learned not to give anything that means way more to me than it does to the recipient. Still lapae occasionally.

As a rule, things I loan to friends are not returned except by friends who also loan me their stuff.

i lend or give away as much as i can.

“Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. But keepeth in mind, if you neither a borrower nor a lender you may be, you are probably too attached to your possessions. You can't take them with you! Jesus told everyone to get rid of their possessions if they wanted to follow him. But White Christians ignore part of the bible because they're full of shit!"

- Benjamin Franklin, 1764
