Isn't it funny how quickly you can become dependent upon something and not even know it? With today's technological advances you become dependent on things and you don't even know it.

Well i was reminded this morning of my technological dependence when i was taking my ipod out of my coat pocket to select a playlist for the morning commute to the office. I managed to get my ipod caught on my jacket flap and i dropped it to the ground. When it hit, it busted open...

I was devestated... not really, but really. if you know what i mean. So I continued on my way to the car and went to plug in...

stop.

oh man, my ipod is busted i'll have to listen to a cd.

stop.

I moved my cd's to the apartment when i got the ipod hook up in the car.
i guess there's always radio. i hate morning radio.
i hate radio altogether, really... but that's a whole 'nother blog post.

So i drove with the radio on for about 5 minutes, and after not finding one suitable station to listen to, i drove in silence for 15 minutes to the office. where i am now sitting in silence posting to this blog wondering how i'm going to make it through the day without any music in my life...

and thinking...
i hope my cellphone doesn't die on me today

good luck trying to find a pay phone.

anywhere.
