iPod, oh iPod.

It's been a while. And I know all my fans are just dying to hear another post...in fact, my inbox is just overflowing with such requests. Not! But, I'm not offended, I understand the pyramid breakdown of one creating a popular blog. That's right, it's like a pyramid. And hopefully not a scheme. I'm not into schemes.

I think I've actually posted about my iPod before, but I think this one has a different concept...but if not, I can't resist another shout out.

My iPod knows me. I know it. It is a good listener. It deciphers my mood and selflessly picks music to my emotional status. It's incredible.

Today, I was driving to work and listening to my iPod. Now, just to make it clear...I was not, repeat, was not listening while driving with earbuds in. I take full advantage of the fact that all cars have speakers and I don't really understand why there would be any reason for listing to earbuds in the car. Unless, of course, your speakers were broke...or you had some sort of condition to being near sided...but with hearing. That sounds rare. But if that happened, I'd probably ride my bike to work.

One with it...I'm driving and thinking, "Man, oh man iPod, I would sure love to listen to the SCL audiobook....I want a good laugh." Then, I passed through 3, maybe 2 songs. What happened next, you ask? Well, because my iPod knows me, SCL came on. I then proceeded to have a good laugh and say, "iPod, how I love thee! You know me, and I don't know you. But I think that's the way it's supposed to be." I frequently break out in some form of poetry.

So, what ended this glorious drive? Well, I arrived at work and wondered, what if there is some program for iPods (which would had to have come out about 4 years ago b/c that thing is tow-up...aka torn up, but sounds better when pronounced tow-up)...a program that takes what songs you've been listening to and picks songs accordingly similar (grammer?). I mean, google has it figured out, so iPod might also be up with the times. But, instead of crying myself to sleep tonight because of the reality of that scenario coming true...I'm going to sit with the idea that it currently does not have that option. iPod, you are the best!
