Tuesday, June 3, 2008 Musically Bummed

Never would I have thought that I would ever be so bummed and never this bad. You might think this is all very trivial and laugh at me for this. So be it.

I was catching the early bus to school today and have you ever seen those poor lads untangling their earpieces? Well I was one today. I guess it's the price to pay for the ticket to Music nirvana as I tried negotiating a bud through the mess of wire, stomping my feet in frustration whenever I got it mixed up, having the intention of writing a complaint letter to Sennheiser for depriving me of my daily dose of tunes. A retard takes an average of 2 songs to untangle the earpiece, an average Joe;1 song, a skilled professional such as I; the chorus of a Chorus Of Angels by Haste the Day, no pun intended.

Fitting the buds snugly into my ear and experiencing premature-ear orgasms already, I reached my hand into my pocket, expecting to grasp the cool metal finish of my iPod when I freaking realised it was not there! Checking myself, panic arising I blurted out,"Oh FUCK!"

Receiving several approving nods and thumb-ups from the fellow commuters around me, I totally froze on the spot and stared into oblivion letting my eyes skim over the minute details of life as the bus moved along. Unblinking. Hearing the drone of the engine rev up, the hissing doors opening to squeeze more sardines into the can. the littlest snort, cough, breath and mindless phone conversation. Personally, to my horror, I felt 2 butt-cheeks on me and was greeted by the cold stare an old wizard and I heard him thinking,"Why are your butt-cheeks touching my butt-cheeks?!", and I thought back, "well, lucky you!"

The rest of the day wisped by without any significance. No iPod.

I'll walk next time.

With my iPod.
