Just not enough time. I think my next blog post needs to be about ePressure - the need to keep up with Netflix, mp3s, eBooks, etc. Aaaaagghhh!!!!!!

I don't want to throw away any part of that $20/mo, even if I'm essentially wasting it by downloading something I'll never listen to again.

I have my alarm clock iPod set to shuffle also, so sometimes I'll hear new songs that way. Sometimes it will even be the first time I've heard something. I don’t DL anything unless I really want it.
