O my brothers it has been a long time a new post has brightened these dusty web pages. It should be a joyous occasion that brings me back to my sweet, yucky lovechild but alas it is awful news. It only effects me but it could be that you feel my pain.
My Ipod has become a paper weight...
I've had it for quite a while and before me, someone had it for however long they had it before leaving it in an airplane, so it had some miles on it. That eases my mind a little; that it got to travel and lead a full life. Also, it had been dropped a great many times by my own hand before it dropped that last time (last time alive anyway) in a friends garage. That last time however, was not my doing. Who it was doesn't matter and I don't want anyone forming a lynchmob on behalf of the ShampPod.
Anyway, it hit the cement garage floor and it did something that I'd never seen before. It popped up with a logo that made me sad...

My Ipod.. The same one who had kept me alive at work all those times. The one that I filled with any bit of noise that I found pleasure in... with that sad little icon. Underneath it, there was a wed address. WWW.APPLE.COM/SUPPORT/IPOD
That was maybe two weeks ago and just today, I hooked 'er up to my dad's 6 year old lap top and opened up Itunes. Nothing comes up. Nothin at all, the computer doesn't even read that anythings hooked up to the usb port.

Naturally, I go to the address suggested to me by the sad rectangle and follow their steps. The five Rs. Right away I know its not going to do anything for me. Recharge, Retry, Restore, Retard, Reach around. I don't think it works for any problem besides when someone doesn't know how to turn their pod on.
So I do what you do when you're not going to pay to get something fixed. I googled that shit and I got an overwhelming number of the same idea.
Drop it. Again. On purpose. "Sounds like a great fuckin' idear to me, Hoss."
So I do it and no luck and what do you know, no surprise on my part, either. I do it again and it pops open and there it lays on the floor in my kitchen. Two peices held toghether by electronic guts. Then, I decide that my music collection went from 20,000 songs to a Strokes album and Guns N Roses greatest hits... Awesome.

I'm sorry, folks but not every story has a happy ending and this one certainly doesn't. Maybe one day, I'll have another mp3 player and all will be right with the world once more... Until then,
Rest In Peace ShampPod
