In love with my iPod

Are you dependent upon your iPod when you work out? Ever had your iPod die while working out?

I don’t know about you, but I’m totally dependent upon my tunes. My level of exertion is equal to the beat of the song. The slower the song, the slower I’m stepping. If I step slow..then I want off the damned machine. You feel me?

So it’s 3:20 in the morning and I hop on the machine…I’ve got “Jet” playing and I’m maybe 3 minutes into the workout when the iPod dies. I’ve been having problems holding a charge, but I’ve had the iPod forever. I’m thinking “Crap, no music, no workout” when I remember the iPod I bought the man is sitting in the spare bedroom. Serene used it to watch a movie.

I load my workout playlist on and jump back onto the machine. By the time I’m back on it’s 3:40….Now I’m behind…gotta leave the house by 4:45. Needless to say, I went to work with wet hair, but at least I did it.

I have a love affair with my iPod…I use it every day. If not working out, then in the truck…it’s wired for iPod. I listen to PodCasts, my music, I have Disney music for Serene that we sing together. I’m thinking if this battery situation keeps coming up, I may have to get a new one. I didn’t want to because eventually I want the iPhone when it has more storage, etc. This way, I can keep the old iPod in the truck. Hope I hear an announcement in June….”Steve Jobs…oh Stevie Pooh…Hello my MacDaddy. I’d like an iPhone that offers 64 gig, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3rd party apps, a removable battery…delivered to my door by Vin Diesel”. Ah well, I guess it isn’t Christmas time yet. I’m holding out for June. I think we’ll hear some news then. The big question will be…can I afford it? Gotta get rid of my mother’s trailer….
