I'm a college student and a Mac and iPod enthusist. I have probably helped Apple sell at least 20 iPods (to mac and pc users alike) on my recommendation and passion for this beautiful little wonder. Whether it's long days on campus or long road trips I use my iPod everyday. Now I am completely in despair. I've lost my iPod. The most frustrating thing is that it never leaves my side and I can remember precisely where I was after I lost it. It happened last weekend. I remember specifically that I was at work on Saturday and excited about seeing Kill Bill for a second time. I had brought my iPod with me to share with my friends the Kill Bill soundtrack I had just uploaded. As a poor student and a lover of film I work at a movie theatre. That day, after my shift ended, I ran down the hall to catch the movie again. Afterwards I went straight home to work on a paper that was due Monday. I didn't leave my apartment all weekend and there were no stops inbetween. When Monday rolled around I couldn't find my iPod anywhere. Now it's Wednesday and I feel like my first born has been kidnapped. To use a movie reference, I feel like Tom Cruise in Minority Report. I looked away for a few moments and then my poor little iPod was snatched without a trace. I even still have my headphones as a grim reminder. Where could it have gone? Who has their greasy hands on my beloved iPod? Do I really have to pay another 500 dollars to replace it? Well, I put out an ad in the news papers classified and there is still a chance that the theatre's janitor found it, but I have little hope. I would have thought that if any moral person would have found it in the theatre they would have reported it to the manager. Even worse, is it possible that it just fell out of my jacket or slipped from my waist while I was getting into my car? Is my innocent little iPod now lost on the streets, exposed to the elements and the corruption of strangers in dark alleys? Until we offically give up the search I will try to cling on to hope, but the empty box in my closet will forever be a testiment to the lose of my precious little musical friend.
