Death of a Legend
August 30th, 2010 § 4 Comments
The time has come. My iPod has finally kicked it.
My iPod and I have been through a lot together.
The drawing isn't good enough to steal, but...please don't. I mean, come on.
You were awesome. All 74.86 gigabytes of you. (Although, I do still feel kind of cheated because there’s obviously supposed to be 80 gigabytes of space in there. Way to go, Apple. Way to stick to your promises.) Even though we had our ups and downs, I appreciated you very much.
You were my source of entertainment. You lifted my mood day in and day out. You cheered me up when I was down. You woke me up in the morning.
And you provided me montage music when I pretended I was on a TV show.
You were a fantastic investment. I replaced my Archos with you, downgrading the screen size but upgrading the storage space and features. You were black and shiny and new, and a very small device (at the time). I had already set up my iTunes and everything, so I could start listening right away.
You got a scratch the day I got you. It was small, but I noticed it because I’m OCD. (How did that happen? How can you get scratched by air?) And now, your casing is laced with battle scars from my less-than-careful treatment of you, and for that, I’m sorry. You were still going strong for a long time, though.
I would take you everywhere. School, vacations, anywhere else. We were almost attached. You made long car rides bearable. Sometimes, the songs you play put me on a sort of “on-the-drive” mood. It’s hard to explain. I don’t think anyone will understand what I mean by that. There are just some songs that are best played in the car because it has that type of mood.
Basically, we stuck together until the end. I don’t know how or why it happened, but your death was quite sudden. You didn’t even get sick. You froze and that was that. It’s too bad I didn’t get to spend more time with you. Did I do something wrong? Did I take care of you right? Could I have done anything to prevent your passing? Or is there anything I can do to save you now?
I will miss you dearly, especially during this music-less period in time where I can’t listen to songs on demand. It’s true, you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Farewell, iPod (unless I can resuscitate you, but the outlook is grim). At least you didn’t explode.
This was enjoyable.
I’ve scrolled around (down?) and your ‘blog’ is coming out quite nicely. I hope you’re able to continue writing entries for years to come. Even if it’s just a sentence or two and although it may only grant a smile way into your future – you’ll find the effort for such a smile worth plenty.
Try not to forget the most important viewer for these is you.
Thanks for the iPod picture. /stolen
This was enjoyable. This is also my second attempt of trying to post this comment.

Sorry, dude! I think I changed the settings now, so all future comments made will appear immediately. (I know it looked like the comment didn’t go through. It’s annoying. My bad!)
I appreciated your comment! Thanks for reading!
Obviously agrees about the you could explained. I convey for your requirements, I typically get irked whenever people examine topics they obviously usually are not aware of. You are qualified to hit the nail at the and in addition discussed out every little thing without complication. people can take an indication.
