If that’s the case you may want to accessorize.

Oh happy summer, it’s finally here, and even though it doesn’t feel like it at all (temperature and everything) I’m not going to complain.

My mom got $800 or $900 from the government for whatever reason they been giving out money for, and we did exactly what they wanted us to do with it. We went out and bought two Mp4 players. Why a Mp4? Simply because it sounds so much more advanced then an Mp3, but still sounds like a cheap excuse for an ipod.

but i like it! In fact I love it, I had one of the older ipod nanos so I couldn’t watch videos or anything. It was a music player, and that’s all it was. But now this little Mp4 I have, whom I have named Chanson! hehe

She has a music player, a radio!!!, video, a game, and a place that i could put an ebook if I really wanted to.

My absolute favorite thing about her is that she can play the lyrics to the song I’m playing, of course its a bit difficult to get her to do it, but really its just one extra file and I’m a bit nerdy like that so it a blast for me to do.

If I could change one thing though I would make the buttons a bit larger, it kinda hurts to mess with but I’m willing to look past that since she truly accepts me, I will accept her. Small buttons and all.

Drive Home

Greeting!

I’m back, and although there are a million other things I should be doing this moment, I find myself typing along to some song that’s playing from my iTunes. It’s depressing, iTunes that is, would you like to know why? Well, I’m going to tell you anyways, iTunes reminds me of my iPod, which is long gone. Long story short it was lost a the movie theater.

What’s that you want to hear the story? I guess I could tell a bit of it. The truth about what happened to my iPod.

So I have about 5 free movie tickets sitting around my home, but you know how those things work! You have to wait a week before you can see a movie, because during its first week it’s called a special something or other. And when all your friends want to go to the movies they want to see some new release, in this story the new release just happened to be Nim’s Island, which by the way was a movie I was even dying to see. (Figuratively speaking of course) I was happy to spend $9.50 and support this wonderful film, although I should have got the student discount. It was opening night so of course it was a little crowed in there, so we didn’t get our favorite seats, but still decent ones.

After the film ended is when it happened, the credits rolled, we got out of our seats, and made our way out to the hall. My friends head straight from theater 4 to theater 5 (note actually theater number are not based on the real account). In English this is called ’sneaking into a movie’ and to say the least I was nervous, never in the 16 years I have been alive had I done something so reckless. The movie was 21 and we had planned on seeing it afterwards, but it was the movie I thought I was using my free pass for (ironic eh?). I didn’t do the right thing and walk out of the theater, because truth is I wanted to be there, these are the lines that I kept feeding myself;

“Everyone does this at least once.”

“You go to the movies almost every week you should get a freebie here and there.”

“Well since I’m already here.”

Between the previews and the start of the movies my cell phone had fallen out of my pocket, and when it fell it must have taken my iPod with it. I’m always checking my pockets and making sure I have everything, sometimes I can be just a bit too paranoid, so of course I noticed it was missing within 2 minutes a the least. Quickly I pulled out my cell to use as a light, and searched around for my heavenly music device. I even asked my friends to help and soon we had search the two rows between us. Harsh reality hit, it was gone.

I’ve always had a strong opinion about karma, this just raises it even more. In a way I guess it was a good (?) thing. A valuable life lesson was learned, a life lesson that is certainly not learned by half the teenage population.

Now, I’m actually in the process of getting a job, so that I may buy a new one (this time possibly a iPod touch!) and I’ll be sure to guard it with my life.

P.S. I defiantly recommend both movies to anyone, they both had a few ups and downs, but overall highly enjoyable.
