An Apple Today Takes Care of My Blues Away
Los Angeles (January 2005)

"Some men are born with cold feet; some acquire cold feet; and some have cold feet thrust upon them."

I had (sort of) an epiphany.

After waking up at 7 am and travelling from Manhattan Beach to Sta Monica for the launch of the Ipod Shuffle and Apple Mac Mini, I stopped dead on my tracks. While in line for an Ipod, I suddenly balked at the idea. Just like when Depeche Mode came to Manila, I held the idea up to the last minute and in front of the ticket office, hesitated to buy any. I never got to see my all-time favorite band. To this day I remember the feeling saved only by my then girlfriend (now my wife) who kidnaped me and brought me to the Folk Arts Theatre in a taxi and we stayed outside the grounds and listened to our hearts content. It was also my birthday 1992.

I have that tendency to clam up in the last minute and just drop the idea. For whatever reason, I don't really know.

Finally, we ended up getting the Mac Mini for the new office and a Powerbook stand for me. O yes, at 9:26am, all the Ipods were sold out too. Good riddance!
