It sits on the charging dock all night, then dies on my way to work when I put it on shuffle. Or it just plain freezes until it’s connected to a power source again. What an asshole. I’ve had it for a few years, so I’m not exactly surprised that it’s nearing its end. The idea of not having one terrifies me in ways even I don’t understand. It’s like a security blanket, and it’s a great excuse to ignore people, plus I really enjoy having a soundtrack to my life. But cripes, I’m not sure if I have an extra few hundred to shell out for a new one. intr0vert says I should wait until the next generation iPhone comes out.

But the thought of my iPod completely giving up before then is enough to give me nightmares.

I just sold my Zune mp3 player. For practically nothing. Granted, my mom won it in a drawing, so I shouldn’t complain. I’d even consider using it if I still had a PC. I don’t quite understand the negative stigma attached to the Zune-I know it’s no iPod, but I didn’t mind it when I still used it.

This is definitely not high up on my concerns/priorities list, survival being at the top of course. But it certainly is the icing on the shitcake that is my life these days. Wah, right? If my life soundtrack was on, it’d be playing Travis’ “Why does it always rain on me?”.

Ouch, that’s emo.
