Life of iPod

Did your iPod ever have a sense of humor? Mine just played "Build Me Up Buttercup," the timeless tale from the point of view of a man who loves someone who keeps raising his hopes only to get shot down. It then played, "You Blew Me Off," by Bare Jr., who's lyrics include the lines, "If you ignore me/ you get my respect/ when you turn to hug me/ I like you less/ You blew me off..." So virtually they're the same song, one's just much sweeter and eloquent. Then came George Michael's "Faith," which is about having, well, faith, that someone will come around eventually. I think my iPod is in a mood. Maybe it misses its long lost lover, which I can only imagine would be the nano I got for free and use for working out, since I had it with me all day. Oh, poor iPod. Haha oh and now it's playing, "Put Your Head On My Shoulder," by Michael Buble. It's obviously glad to see that it's soulmate has returned to its usual place on the shelf above the iPod's Soundock.

Hmm, now it's playing Narcolepsy, by Third Eye Blind - maybe it's mad that I've been turning it on at such odd hours lately, including at 5 AM this morning when I got up to go to a horse show. I don't blame it, I'm tired too. I'll try to let it sleep tonight, because I really need more sleep too (I try to keep awake/ but I can feel this narcolepsy slide/ into another nightmare). Maybe I'me making it narcoleptic by throwing off its sleeping schedules - it sleeps during the day now but is awake at random intervals 24/7. I guess that would make it the opposite of narcoleptic - sleeping most of the time but falling awake at random moments.

Wow, it's really mad at me! Now it's playing "Good For You," by TEB, which is kind of like a shove it in your face kind of song. I'm sorry to have made it so spiteful!

Flashing Lights, Kanye West - has it been going to raves without me? Or perhaps driving around Fairfield after 10 pm?
Hide Your Love, Jonny Lang? Are we really back to this complicated technology love affair going on across my desk right now? Dear iPod, you need to loosen up, man.

OK this could go on forever and is mildly entertaining, but I'll put it to rest for now. Sorry iPod, you're staying on, even though we're both exhausted...
