Runaway Car

So it's an end to an era...
My iPod has disappeared and although I have suspicions on who got it, I know its not coming back. That iPod had thousands of songs, and tons of memories and so much personal sentiment. Aside from the podcasts and my perfect Scrabble record of 130 undefeated games against the computer (yes I'm a word freak), it's so much more than that.
As some who have read my previous blog, The Dumpee Diaries, music was a heavy part of my life and always has been. This iPod in particular helped me make it through the last 2 years of my life, in and out of a breakup. Although just an object, my iPod was personal and a piece of me that I became very attatched to. Could you imagine Carrie Bradshaw without her MacBook? Or Ash Ketchum without his cap? Or Sue Sylvester without her track suits? You get my point but it's kind of hard to not have it with me.
So I've begun my hunt for a new replacement for an old friend. As it turns out, I need to buy an iPod touch for school. There's some kind of requirement for a wireless media device for Journalism majors at Missouri so it was inevitible. But $195 for an iPod touch? :O
Augh, I miss my babyyyy :<
There went my soundtrack for the summer but even so, it opened up the potential to create the ultimate summer soundtrack as well as start clean. What's with so many clean beginnings? At any cost, I have to start job hunting for some cash not just for that but other things for this summer. And even so, with all this freedom, it seems strange not to have any objective.
I'll tell you this much folks. Don't shake the past off just yet in your new future. It has a way of coming to snap at you. And how do I know this? Try the phone call I had last night I had with a stranger who didn't show up to my high school graduation and the Mat Kearney song that reflects it...
