Pointless Story. ;)

Totally pointless story, but here it goes! haha 

So my twin brother Jake and I have the same musical interest we share a lot of our music. I like to have physical copies of all my music. Jake on the other hand could care a less he just wants the music. So when I let him borrow a shit ton of my CD’s to put on his iTunes I expected them back the day I gave them to him. Seriously, it doesn’t take a month to put The Academy Is… cd on your iPod.  Before this batch of CD’s I let him put all of my Maine CD’s on and I could not for the life of me find my copy of Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. So I left him this note (pictured above) he denied he had that CD. I was bummed that I allowed myself to loose one of my favorite CD’s so I went out to buy another copy of it, that was back in 2010. Jake just left for U of I this January and I was helping him pack when we came across his CD collection he went through them and pulled out The Maine’s CD Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. He says “oh, I think this is yours. I’ve never bought a Maine CD in my life” WTF?! I told him I went out and bought another copy cause I couldn’t find it and that I knew he had it! we laughed about it, I’m on the look out for some cool ideas on what I should do with my extra CD’s I’ve bought over the years because of my brother haha 

Any suggestions would be AWESOME!!!
