I finally broke down, burnt that hole in the pocket and got myself an MP3 player. (NO!! this is not an advertising site, the good folks at xyz inc. would have to pay me good money before I peddle their brand on my blog)
I realized that music is an integral part of my life, I wake up to music, I have music playing in the background at all times. The only times I don't listen to music is when I really really need to concentrate - which is about... uhmm never??!!??
The problem now is that I have these earplugs sticking to my sides and I keep getting tangled in wires running out of my jacket or trouser pockets. I am so not an accessories person, I am the kind of guy who would drop his sunglasses off his nose or choke on a scarf. Now imagine the mess I am in when I am trying to look all cool with this new marvel of science in my pocket and grooving to some cool tunes and I get a phone call or see a pretty girl or just a friend, so I try to wave out or reach out into my pocket to answer the phone, probably holding my sports kit or my work bag in one hand, winter clothes already hampering my movement. Seriously!!! not a pretty sight I tell you, not at all. Aren't accessories supposed to help you feel and look better, not that I use my latest acquisition as an accesory, it is a tool to help me satiate my voracious hunger for music, but yet don't they try to sell the cool aspect of this machine too? Why, why why can't I pass it off with the coolness they advertise it with???
But then, wasn't I the guy who used to harp about the fact "Uncool is Cool!!!"
Here's to the uncoolness as long as the music stays loud...
3 Uncool songs that I have rediscovered since the new acquisition from a band that has typified "Uncool is Cool" for me ever since the day I first heard "Creep"
Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien

Few years from now, people will completely stop buying mp3 players, because they will be integrated in their mobile phones which will also have their electronic wallet, camera, identity card, PDA etc.
And you will pay me $5 if this prediction becomes reality without a doubt ;)
Assuming that you are comfy with the ringing device, you could have simply bought an mp3 player integrated phone (Sony Ericsson W810i). That would have meant one gadget less.
As for the hyperlinks discomfort: Simply highlight the words which you want turned to links, and then click on the globe icon in the blogger toolbar (the globe icon with a paperclip on it). That will throw up a box asking you to provide the link address. Thats it!
