before i had an ipod, i never thought that i would need one. i thought that i would be perfectly content to put two or three albums on my 256 mb mp3 player and swap out the music every other day or so. what do i need thousands of songs in my pocket for when i can only listen to a limited amount of them a day?
then i got an ipod. and boy was i wrong. there is nothing better than to have a song in your head and having the power to listen to that song immediately, no matter where you are. it makes me so happy. this morning i woke up with a song in my head. when i got in the car, i hooked up the ipod to the stereo, threw on the song and rocked out. fuckin’ awesome. then when i got to work i was reminded of another song and wanted to listen to that one and could.
damn are we spoiled. i would be no worse off if i thought of a song, wanted to listen to it, couldn’t, made a mental note to listen to it when i got home, forgot, and didn’t. i would have forgotten about it. i know i don’t need instant gratification, but damn do i like it.
