An open letter to my Ipod
Posted on July 31st, 2005 by catalyst into the Favorites categoryOkay, this blog is getting kind of heated. And in the interest of calming everyon down, I’m going to post something that has nothing to do with City Bible. I recently bought an Ipod shuffle, and while I love it. There are a few quirks. I posted my thoughts on craigslist.org, and they made the "best of" section. JP thought it was funny enough for the blog, so here we go.
My Ipod Shuffle thinks I’m Gay
Dear Ipod:
After spending a few weeks with you, I am beginng to fear you think I am a gay man. (of course, not that there’s anything wrong with that)
I recognize that there are several up tempo dance songs on my playlist, along with a few Madonna and Britney Spears tracks. However, I am curious why whenever I choose the shuffle mode, you select these songs and these songs only to play. I like Madonna, I do… I just don’t need 10 consecutive hours of her. And yes, the Pet Shop Boys are fun, but I don’t really want to hear "West End Girls" on a 30 minute loop.
The first time I thought it was just a coincidence, but lately I have been wondering if perhaps you think I spend my entire day singing and dancing like some flamboyant queen or like Ellen on that ridiculous American Express commercial. (Again, not there’s anything wrong with that)… ummmm, because I really don’t dance and sing that much, and sometimes just like to listen to a depressing song about suicide.
Anyway, if there is any chance you could include a little Wilco or Arcade Fire, next time you choose the mix, I would be very appreciative.
Sincerely,
-Your Listener

Jesus’s response to sin is “netheri do I condemn you, go and sin no more” Blog commentators are doing homosexuals no favor by condoning their behavior. Just because the church often ignores the sin of adultery doesn’t mean homosexuality is o.k.
Heaven and hell are real.

Yes Anonymous,
I told my Ipod the same thing.
I said “Ipod, if you keep playing showtunes, you are in danger of hell”.

Then why do you [CBC and the like] continue to condemn? Jesus knew full well the consequences of sin and yet still spent all his time on earth with the most accomplished of sinners. You and your cult won’t so much as touch a sinner without hand sanitizer within reach!

The Arcade Fire almost sublet my apartment this summer.

I guess that makes you almost cool.

Your Ipod thinks your gay and so does your family.

Nah, I’m cool regardless, I just would have gotten more scene points.
