Worst Woman Alive

i stumbled across this gem of a news story recently...

"New York (ChattahBox) – In an unusual case that proves some gifts are not unconditional, a New York doctor is suing his ex-wife for $1.5 million dollars for a kidney he donated during their marriage, after alleging she had an affair.

Richard Batista has also stated that he would be happy to receive the kidney back, instead of the money, and that the choice is completely up to her.

The bitter lawsuit comes following a divorce that he alleges occurred because of an affair his wife has with a physical therapist, who she was seeing due to an unrelated injury, two years after Batista gave her his kidney to save her life.

“I saved her life and then to be betrayed like this is unfathomable. It’s incomprehensible,” he told reporters. “She engaged in an extramarital affair and refused to go to marital counseling and reconciliation.”

He also states that she delivered the divorce papers in the middle of a surgery he was performing on a patient, and then refused to allow him to see their three children, adding added pain to the betrayal."

ouch.

Good Grief!

My car only plays casette tapes. I was digging through the armrest and found a tape that was not labeled. Lo and behold, it turns out to be a mixtape I made for myself many moons ago when I was in the 7th grade, I believe. Through Side A I thought of myself as a really cool little kid. But Side B kind of demolishes any good taste I had on the A side. Maybe they cancel each other out and leave me as just a normal
7th grader. Either way, this tape is very of it's time, that being the mid 90's.
Now you can figure out (roughly) how old, or should I say young, I am.
Without further ado... (?)= me guessing at the song title with wikipedia's help

SIDE A
GREEN DAY - Pulling Teeth
FUGAZI- Forensic Scene
FUGAZI- Combination Lock
JAWBOX - Static (?)
AVAIL - Simple Song
GUIDED BY VOICES - As we go up, we go down
GUIDED BY VOICES - Game of Tricks
THE CLASH - Stay Free
THE CLASH - White man in hammersmith palais
SEBADOH - Soul & Fire
EVERCLEAR - Nehalem
ALL - Million
MY BLOODY VALENTINE - 1st song on Loveless
HURL - (?)
THE TONICS - (?)
NWA - Express Yourself

SIDE B
{cringing!}
SKANKIN' PICKLE - 4 songs from the Green Album, the only Skankin' Pickle album I ever owned. Honestly.
SUPERCHUNK - Detroit has a skyline
SCREECHING WEASEL - Instrumental from A better Tomorrow
JAWBREAKER - Million
SWERVEDRIVER - Sandblasted
SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE - Seven
SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE - In Circles
SPECIALS- Do Nothing

Glad I got that off my chest. Yeah, there's some embarrasing ska/punk on there. But whatever, I'm sure you also had the best taste in music in the 7th grade too.
Later,
Mark
