Ode to My iPod Shuffle

Oh how I love thee my portable music player. You do not jump, you do not skip even when I do. You allow me to purchase guilty pleasures music and keep it between us two. You help me sing and dance and shake my money maker. You are so wonderful little iPod - so glad Apple had the foresight to make ya.

Ok that was cheesy but can I just say - HOORAY FOR THE IPOD.
I am by no means technical but I need my music when I travel and work out and when I do those things I want options. Options I say.

I now do. My current musical selections range from Will Smith to James Brown with some Keane thrown in. I still have to download my own stuff but it is so cool to be able to have one song I like instead of purchasing the whole album which may blow. Remember cassette singles, cd singles? Ya I was probably the only person who bought them. The shuffle had me in mind. Also it has not bells and whistles just music. Which is all I want.
I love it. My husband has dubbed me a dork but like my digital camera before it certain electronics get my excited and happy. Add my iPod and fancy new vacuum to the list.
AAAHHHH GEEK OUT! :)

The other thing that happens w/the new toy. I sing aloud and don't realize it. I have never sang in front of Chris before. Almost 5 years and he has never heard me sing. Now he has hear me sing:
Avril Lavigne - Skater Boy
Amerie - 1 thing
Kelly Clarkson - ?
Destiny's Child - Bootylicious
Modest Mouse - Float on
The Clash - Train in Vain
The Goo Goo Dolls - Give a little bit...

I think you know where this is going. It is good. My kind of music right now. As a child of the decades of mix tapes I am sending Apple and the iPod much love.

I highly recommend the White Stripes cover of "I just don't know what to do with myself." It is WAY cool...
