All I Never Wanted

I admit it. I covet an iPod. It started slowly at first: in the beginning, my attitude was “whatever”. I found their silhouette ad campaign annoying. And the fact that it was Apple, for some reason, ignited an unexplainable rage.

But soon, I started thinking about driving in my car with it; all my albums? My visor CD holder only holds 12! Sometimes I have to stop before I go out and flip through CDs, gauging my musical temperature. I would arrive 5 minutes earlier with an iPod. It would change my life!

Then I realized they were sucking me in again. The Consumerist Machine was on the prowl, and wanted me to buy some other product. And yes, it will change your life –in that you will use your hard earned funds to fuel the economy, and end up with a thing. A thing that will inevitably need repair or assistance at some point, and you will continue paying for it’s purchase.

But then I thought about how cool the people passing me each day, with their little white earphones in, not acknowledging my presence, looked.

Luckily, before I did anything rash, I ran across this little wonder; iNo.
