iHate mp3 players.

Why?

They are like men. (The men I have come in contact with anyways). They are so wonderful when you first 'meet' them. Everything is going lovely and wonderful and you spend all your time together. Then something happens. The something varies, but it always destroys the relationship. You're not sure if it's you, because they won't tell you, and you can't think of anything you did out of the ordinary that might have caused the problem, so it must be them right? In my mp3 player's case, 'he' decided to start "refreshing database" every time I charged him. That was fine with me, until I realized that some of my mp3s became 'bad tracks'. There wasn't even a pattern of which ones were bad and which ones weren't. Old, new, downloaded, ripped etc. As if that weren't irritating enough, today when I pulled him off the charger, he went black. No the screen didn't turn off, it just turned black. and the blue light ring that's used to navigate through lists is still on too. I had to let the battery die and put it back on the charger when I got home. Well as soon as it had enough juice to turn itself on, it started the refreshing database process again, AND blacked out AGAIN! I will not last more than a month without and mp3 player...it sounds silly but I've become dependent on it, I used it for at last 5 hours a day..it's an extra limb. I don't know why these things won't stick around with me for longer than oh...8 months, but it really is an expensive problem.

Mp3 player #1-lasted 1 yr. Nothing wrong with it, just didn't hold enough and was outdated.

Mp3 player #2-lasted only 11 months. Was stolen from me. However it was rather small (in terms of memory).

Mp3 player #3-this one, lasted only 8 months! It was just fine! Until now. And I think it's dead forever.


I might look into apples. But they're so expensive.. and then I have to use iTunes. Eugh. Maybe I'll find something extremely durable....I don't think I have dropped this one since the sumer though....it has a scar, but I doubt the effects would take 5 months to present themselves.


Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Well at least I have my exam schedule and its pretty cramped but it will be over quickly.

Time foooo foooooood.

Love always,
