today during 6th period, a bday, i go to my 6th period study hall like i usually do, and open up my backpack to get my ipod out to listen to it, like i do everyday. however today when i got it out, the screen was broken! i was devestated, but i remembered the warranty that we bought when i bought the ipod, so my worries were rested.
after school i got home, and when my dad got home i told him and we went to american to get it checked out. Its going to take 7 days to get my ipod back, and when it does get back i might not even get a new one because it might have voided the warranty from being carried in my backpack. this sucks. not only do i have to go 7 days without my beloved ipod, i might not get a new one. there are so many memories with it.
i bought my ipod in august of 2003, so its been 1 and a half years of fun and exciting times with it. I remember when i first got it, i was only the second person in our school at that point to have one, besides me cole cochran was the only other one i knew of to have one, and i felt great pride in my ipod. I didnt even have the software needed to put music on it, so i just carried it around with me, and i enjoyed its presence.
since then, weve been on many many adventrues. just this summer was the most insane. When i went to texas with thor, my ipod accompainied me all the way. through all of the 8 or so states that we went through, and the many hours that we spent in the car, it was always right there with me.
Then when i went to South Dakota with my familie, the 8 hour car drive there and back, and the many hours spent doing pointless things here and there, i was always listening to my ipod, and it never left my side, not even when i was sleeping. It kept me sane while my 4 brohters were screaming all the way.
And then on philmont i snuck it along with me on the 11 day hike, through the 71 miles of rugged mountain that we hiked, because i was afraid to leave it at base camp for fear of it getting stolen. I listened to it at night, and even on the trails sometimes. Scaring the crap out of alex when it turned on was teh funniest, and it was all good with my ipod by me.
Not to mention the many many hours ive spent with it during school study halls, listening to music while getting work done, becuase by then i couldnt do anything without music, it just helped me think, and now i cant get anyhting done wihtout music, most of the time coming from my ipod.
Its a very comfortable feeling, knowing that no matter who you are, you have something that will always be your side, to make you feel comfortable, and feel at home no matter where you are. It doenst care if you get bad grades, or if your a certain race, itll always be there. and knowing that i might not have that feeling anymore really saddens me. My ipods been like a brother to me, and its going to suck if i dont get it back.
