After wrestling with the idea that spanned weeks and months of self-debate, I went out last week and got an iPod. The inevitable has happened. While it's true you can survive without one, that notion only applies to those whose never had it, (but i could be wrong). But once you get hooked, it's over, I can't imagine not having one, and I can't imagine how I could have gone on for so long not having one. At some point I tried convincing myself NOT to get one, however, the nagging inner voice of a 10 year old kid always prevails, so from there I shifted my position to that of a person trying to justify forking out $325.00 of my hard earned money for this musical device.

It wasn't that hard for me to think of a few good reasons why I should get one, and as a matter of fact, that decision to get one, turned out to be an easy one to make.

What a difference an iPod makes: Long strolls in SF seemed more pleasant, adding color and excitement. I'm actually enjoying my walks now, since my iPod affords me the luxury to insulate myself away from obnoxious people at work and when I'm on the BART. It's a great way to tune yourself out of irritating situations, fortunately for me I can listen to my iPod all day at work.

Can't wait to walk around the city again tomorrow.

I was actually saving up for an electric guitar. I used to know how to play, but over the years, that interest had been replaced by other distractions, such as relationships, school, and the turntable which I still love...Father taught me some chords when I was young and I learned a few chords on my own, it's been so long, but I've been having this itch to play again. I had an acoustic guitar, but I don't know where that went. A real good electric guitar these days can go starting from as much as $500.00 dollars which isn't bad. I can always get that later.
