I've lost it all....

Like what? If you don't mind me asking.

Just ask for a lotta cash for them. =P

I don't mind at all.

The main thing that I am most upset over was something that I acquired only a week ago during the Heroes Convention. I got to meet one of my heroes (how fitting) Don Rosa. Mr. Rosa has been a favorite of mine since I can remember. He is probably most known for his Eisner award winning book chronicling Scrooge McDuck's entire life titled "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". Anyway while I was at the convention Don Rosa drew two pieces for me. I'm not even sure how to go about describing how it feels to have one of your heroes, someone that you've idolized forever actually do something like this. It seriously changed my life forever. These two drawings quickly became my most prized possessions. I scanned them almost as soon as I got back from the convention. Here they are:

Most of the other things I lost can at least be replaced, but these just can't. I'll probably never get another chance to see Don Rosa again. It makes me want to cry. I also lost a signed copy of The Art of Tommy Lee Edwards. If you aren't familiar with this man check out his website http://www.tommyleeedwards.com. He is one of the most talented individuals I've ever met.


I had hundreds of japanese books that are going to be really hard to get back. Stuff that I had been collecting for years. Whole runs of Dragonball, One Piece, Love Hina, and countless other mangas. Some of this stuff took nearly three years to get to me when I ordered it the first time. Overall I lost hundreds of books, and hundreds of DVDs It just twists my stomach into knots.
