just me & my pod

my last iPod was a 20gb non-color that i had replaced at the apple store 4x with the help of my homies who work there. wait at a genius bar? pfff eff your bar, i'm down with the geniuses. advance to front of the line give sad icon iPod & break out. no big deal. even had an offer to repair the 2nd generation 10gb pod for $50, god i loved that iPod. Back in 2001, when no one had one & people would stop me on the train & marvel at my gadgetry. (dork. i know. shut it) That bad boy STILL works, it just has a broken headphone jack. Like picture the days when you had a walkman or discman (if you were big time) & the headphone jack would crap out & you spent half your train ride maneuvering your headphone jack to be at just the right angle so you could listen to Biggie's "juicy." or Nas's "represent." Okay, maybe that was me on the train from Astoria to downtown in 1996 but you get the picture. So back to my 20gb non color 4th generation iPod, aka the first of the grey wheel. Not that crap one w. the buttons w. red lights above the wheel that is known mostly for its battery problem. That one that was first available to PC users. "biggest mistake apple made was make them for PCs, " i used to say when I complained about the continuous sad faced icon that would pop up on my 2nd pod of purchase. fucking PC users. (ahh yes i'm not only a dork, but a snot! MAC users usually are. dorky snotty computer geeks. no big deal.) On a whim, I decided to buy an iPod for one of my best friends. Kind of like a we don't buy eachother birthday presents or xmas presents anymore, and well fuck it all i do is work & i want to do this. Shit, I used to do stuff like this for boyfriends, so why wouldn't I do this for a best friend? Exactly. I justified it, but mainly just was so excited to fill it with music for my non computer owning, non ipod using BFF. What first was going to be a shuffle, became a Nano which for common sense sake became a 1gb to 2gb Nano. I mean if you're going to do it, do it up. fuck it. What happens the next day? My iPod breaks. Brilliant. Of course it does! Why? Cuz god hates me. So everyone's like keep that one, blah blah blah. Nah dude, a 2gb? You're kidding me. 20gb wasn't enough for me a 2gb?? No way, i'm a just in case kind of person. If you ever need anything, a band aid, neosporin, travel sewing kit, dental floss, a slow jam playlist... chances are... i have it on my person, in my bag. I'm ridiculous like that. But hey at least i'm prepared. At the end of the world, you want me sitting by your side, trust me. I come prepared. Full kit steez. Okay, so back to me & my pod, so ironically after i splurge on a pod for a homey, my shit is broken. I wouldn't really care as I don't really need it for the train, cuz I never take them anymore, and i don't ride my bike & rock it cuz i'm scared to death I'll get wrecked by a car, so it's really all about my job. The day one. Store. Fuck it, why not go big right? Cop a 60gb video in gangster black steez. Now here's my dilemma. It's color. ooooooh ahhhh in my mind. Color! 21st century pod. Pod of the future. I refuse to fill it with anything that doesn't have album art. I think it's genius! I can see the album art & the artist & song title. (simple details really get me going) So now my virgo rising has kicked into high overdrive. I even dowloaded some "find the album art" software (hi, dork. remember) Do you know how much effin' music I have. Seriously. I'm in desparate need of an extrenal hard drive. Between my music & my porn.. jk jk... no really. What's the first album art i find & fix in my iTunes library? Moz. Then Smiths. Then Tupac. Then i fell asleep with my laptop on my tummy, which has happened before, and is horrible because i wake up all hot & my stomach is sweating & am most likely giving myself sometime of horrible radioactive cancer. Like sitting in front of a microwave, face 2 inches from the door. Back to the pod. All i've got on this bad boy is moz & pac. I mean thats fine & all, got a few playlists on there. One's called "all i want is a soulmate" another's called "i miss you nikki" another favorite would be "god hates me" and then there's the "new jack swing" & "what you know about" gangster mixes. Last nite I decided to download videos! Why they don't offer simpsons is really beyond fucking me. There were some decent Aqua Teen episodes on there, but nothing that really grabbed me. Wondershowzen too, but i'm really picky. Copped a SNL skit from the 70's called "Samurai Night Fever" w. my main man Bill.dot.Murray. Pretty good. I'm not so into him, but have been told I'd appreciate him, so i downloaded some Dane Cook Comedy Central joint. I don't know where or when I think I'm going to sit w. my iPod & watch these but they were only $2 each so fuck it. ahh sweet technology, how you rob me of my money & time.
