musical media overload!!!

OMG! I hate, let me repeat, HATE text talk. I've never been one to spout out "lol"s and "omg"s like they in any way resemble anything close to real words. (I especially hate, HATE, when people use text talk in actual, human to human conversations, like they actually SAY them, like a real word! And they don't just say L-O-L like any other acronym, oh no, they actually say "LOL" pronounced the way a child learning to read would, sounding out the consonants and vowels!). But, this particular subject may call for the kind of bafflingly overwhelming exclamation that only a well-deserved "OMG" could do justice for. (Everything in moderation my friend, because I guarantee who won't witness another "omg" out of my mouth, or in this case, text, for some time).

I have 49.26 gigabytes of music on my computer! ALMOST 50 GIGS! AM I INSANE???

My iTunes music folder easily takes up half of the memory on my laptop, if not more, and I'm not one of those nifty people who puts all their music on some ridiculously mac savvy 500 gigabyte wireless external hard drive, thus backing up all their files and freeing up space on their notebooks. Oh no, not me. I actually carry around all 49.26 gigs in my messenger bag with me.

And guess how much of that superfluous 49.26 gigs I've actually listened to? Perhaps, 18 gigs, maybe? MAAAAAAAYBE... and that's just an estimate. I keep having massive music trades with friends in an effort to stay informed, but I spend all my time collecting artists and listening to my few rotating favorites (the ones with a double, sometimes even triple-digit playcounts).

And so, in a gallant effort to make the little hard drive space I have left not such a useless waste, I shall spend my night going through the untouched music in my library and reading the piles of magazines I also collect, and rarely get to reading. :P
