I Speak Music

This week a tragedy happened.

I somehow LOST everything on my IPod Touch. For those of you rolling your eyes right about now, please just wait for the explanation. I live my entire existence from song to song. Music moves me in a way that is incomprehensible to most people. Nothing pulls at my heart strings quite the way a great song will. People that are tone deaf or say that they simply "don't care" for music just don't make any sense at all to me. It is my life.
I don't need therapy for most of my issues, I just need my tunes to help me make it through the problem, no matter what the problem is. This time the problem was, there was no music! I was so frustrated that no matter what I tried that I could make the darn thing work. So I decided that I would transfer all the "Purchased" songs from the Touch onto the computer at home and just do a system restore. So I did. Then while I was at it I did the new update for the IPod. My thought was, that if I was going to have to loose it all anyways might as well find the silver lining. Ugh.
Anybody out there struggling with the update? Now half of the music is back but the Touch is sick. The album covers are all mixed up and nothing is right. I noticed this by checking to make sure my audio books were all in place. The "He's Just Not Into You" audio book had a picture next to it that I recognized but knew was out of place. It was the album cover to the "Ting Tings". Hungry Girl audio book had Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf next to it and the list goes on an on. This is how I switch songs while driving so I guess now this will be a guessing game. I have got to stack out my collection all over again with ACDC, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson.
This is my language or my religion. I speak music.
If they put medical journals and texts to music I promise I could be a surgeon, pronto!
Maybe this should be my charity of choice that I could donate to if I ever have any extra money.
Save the Music.

P.S. Any Ipod owners out there, back up all of your music via burning it to CD's. Don't let this happen to you.

Oh Meggie! I'm so sorry. I would be terribly distressed if I lost all my music on my computer. I'm investing in an external hard drive soon to avoid this issue! You will get it all figured out and find new stuff! Hot Topic donates money to music charities and there are tons of other philanthropies you can donate to. Good music is hard to find anymore...
