ode to my ipod

In Uncategorized on 13 February 2004 with 12 comments

Today I bring you reasons why my iPod is better than a boyfriend:

  1. My iPod only listens to the music I want to listen to.
  2. My iPod is cheaper (factoring in a decent, say six month to a year relationship).
  3. My iPod always does what I tell it to.
  4. I don’t have to change myself for my iPod (e.g. pretend I’m not a middle-class yuppie white girl, pretend ghetto rap is a legitimate genre of music).
  5. My iPod doesn’t mind going on long car rides (or anywhere, for that matter) with me.
  6. My iPod requires little to no maintenance.
  7. My iPod is always there for me.
  8. When I’m sad, my iPod always has a song to cheer me up.
  9. My iPod can play games with me and keep track of my appointments.
  10. My iPod motivates me at the gym.
  11. My iPod doesn’t have an opinion on anything I think or do.
  12. My iPod has a user-friendly interface.
  13. My iPod doesn’t need to spend time with “the boys.”
  14. My iPod has software upgrades.
  15. My iPod can go for eight hours at a time.

I personally don’t have an iPod, but my friend does and hers is apparently the rebellious sort. It goes for long periods of time without saying a word, and leaves my friend in tears. I keep telling her to break up with that thing, but she’s addicted. Oh well, I tried.

I’m glad yours is working out.

17 – your iPod will never cheat on you. I tried to borrow your iPod and it wouldn’t work for me in my car, remember?

I have the boyfriend, I do not have the Ipod. Is something missing? :(

Your iPod doesn’t look at other iPods. :D
That was very humorous, Maura!
