Electronics

 I'm not mad at electronics. Really I swear I'm not. I mean I would LOVE it if my Ipod Touch had an infinite battery life but it doesn't so oh well. I'm more upset about people who think of their electronics as disposable. They are't just toys to everyone. Too some of us electronics are't so worthless they, ya know....mean something to us. Shocking I know.

This is my Gameboy Advance SP. It still works, I have a charger for it and games. I even have two Gameboy Color games. I have had it for years. I remember being so excited when I would get a game for a holiday/birthday. I still play it. 

This is my iPod Nano. It is the generation before the nano that has a camera built in. I saved my money for months. My folks matched dollar for dollar then drove me to Costco where I gave them my money and they bought it for me. I didn't stop giggling for a half hour or so.I have 974 songs on it. 72 playlists. It has 1.1 GB free on it and I named it Titanic so that when it's syncing it says "Titanic is syncing" and I can hit cancel and save it.  This iPod has gone from California to Oklahoma and back  and back to Oklahoma again. I have dropped it, kicked it, laid on it and slept on it. However, I have also made so many memories with it. Happy and sad. It doesn't always hook up to my moms laptop. But it's mine and I love it. If it ever dies for good I'll cry. It's a great iPod and it has helped me through so much.

This is a very poor photo of my iPod Touch. It was given to me by my parents for my 18th birthday. I am yet to drop it and I love it dearly. I talk to all my friends on it and listen to music everywhere I go. It is very very rarely not by my side. 

Then you see people who treat these things as if they mean nothing to them. That these things are just things. Things have no emotional value. Maybe I am just crazy but that seems wrong to me. 

I'm most likely crazy.
