I Am Dying Without My IPod

I Pod Withdrawl. Pure and simple.

By Brian Allen

 All right, the above really isn't true. I DO have my IPod. However, with my computer waiting to be moved from my home in Iowa to my new home in South Dakota, I have not been able to update it. For months. Meaning i have listened to the same things about 35,000 times. It's starting to get old.

 I don't require a lot to be happy. I love my family and my close friends. I need shelter overhead and food on the table. A good job to make money to support my family. I am not an overly flashy guy and I really don't require much to be happy. That having been said, I desperately need to update my IPod.

 Making matters worse; I am going to have to start everything over once my computer gets here. You see, on my old computer, I had about 35-hundred audio files. Favorites songs. Radio airchecks. Various lectures and sermons which I enjoy listening to. My old computer died a horrible death. Blue screen of death. Total failure of the start up drive. The whole works. Meaning all those audio files I had collected are now gone; vanished forever. I know there are worse things that can happen to a person. But come on..feel my pain. I had a lot of ABBA on there. Poof.

 So one of the things I will look forward to once I get everything to Sioux Falls will be starting a new audio file system on I Tunes. I will also make sure to back up all those files so I never lose everything again. Let me tell you, it's no fun.

 Quote Of The Day: "You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life..." ABBA's 'Dancing Queen', 1977

 This Day In History: Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allies in Rheims, France on this date, May 7th, 1945, paving the way to end World War II.

 Thanks for stopping by. One note of response to "Grey's Lover" who responded to my previous blog about severe weather coverage interrupting our normal TV schedule. I know 'Grey's Anatomy' is popular. Keep in mind if we ever have to blow out a whole bunch of shows for weather coverage, we will run those shows at a later time so you can watch them or record them. But again, I still get a thorn in my side when people pick up the phone, call us and scream at us when all we're trying to do is help people to stay safe.

I feel your pain about when your hard drive dies...Backing up everything is crucial! On a different note, it's amazing how many shows are actually online. Grey's is one of them. Just go to the channel's website and look for full episodes. Watching them on TV is always better though. :)
