i feel so alone

i sold my 60gb iPod, which i affectionately dubbed "podzilla", to my little sister about 2 weeks ago.

i actually listened to the radio for one whole song this morning, but it offered no solace.

if you don't mind, i'd like to talk to my departed friend for a few paragraphs while i play boyz II men's "it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."

here goes...

i will miss you podzilla.

you were always there when i needed you.

when i was depressed, you helped me grieve with your "slit a wrist" playlist.

when i was happy you helped me express it with your "singing in the car" mix.

times weren't always easy for the two of us.

i remember that accidental drop you took last april. i thought i almost lost you.

i swore from that moment on that i would cherish every day that we spent together.

and i have.

i will always think of you fondly and recall the times i proudly displayed you to everyone i met.

you brought me joy and happiness and you never judged me when i downloaded the spice girls onto your hard drive.

i hope your next owner appreciates and loves you as much as i have.

and remember, we'll always have that stretch of I-75 to cincinnati.

i've decided to wait a while and not buy just any old ipod while i'm on the rebound.

but i have already picked out a name for the next one that i adopt.

mecha-podzilla!!!
