Wherefore Art Thou iPod?
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, and for that simple fact I apologize. Last week I was on a ‘vacation’ of sorts, and this week has been hell at work with moving offices and catching up on everything I’m behind on.
But do you know what the worst part about these past couple weeks has been? It’s been the absence of an iPod from my life. My artful companion that went everywhere with me. To work, in my truck, to work out… EVERYWHERE!
It’s with great sadness and regret that I must tell all of my readers that my iPod mini is MIA. What I’d like to do is put together an internet search party of sorts. It works like this: I tell everyone where I last had it, and then the cyber community, with its infinite resources, is able to track it down and return it to me. For free, of course.
So let me do my part. My iPod was last seen on some puddle-jumper flight from Lexington, KY to Detroit, MI. I’m not sure of the flight number, but the airline was Northwest. That should be enough for you cyber-slueths. I left it in the seat pocket in front of me, which was 9B. It’s a silver iPod mini and it has a little dent the top left corner which makes the plastic piece on top bend up a little bit, which is absolutely as cute as can be.
Now if you guys could go ahead and get that search started for me, I’d really apreciate it. Hell, I’ll even go ahead and throw in a prize. First person to mail it to me will get a couple Gangstas & Hugs stickers! How’s that sound? Now you can’t say G & H isn’t appreciative of its readers!
If any of you happen to find the iPod and its being held for ransom, just let the kidnappers know that I don’t negotiate. I know some people at Andy Dufraine Security Guard company, so I’m not somebody to mess with.
On a serious note, what’s the worst thing you’ve ever left while on vacation? On a plane, in a hotel, on a bus, it doesn’t matter… I just need to know I’m not the only poor soul who’s gone and left one of his or her beloved gadgets behind. Oh, woe is me!
Losing an iPod is a big, big deal. I didn’t lose one, but mine crashed on me about 18 months ago and it was like I’d lost a good friend.
The worst thing I’ve ever lost on vacation? Hmmm … I lost my soul in Mexico, does that count?

David Amulet: Soul, schmoul… I was just feeling bad for you because your ipod crashed.
Wait a minute.
Did you say that you came to Detroit and did NOT look me up????????
I’m holding your ipod hostage.
;-)
Laurie: It was just a layover on the way to Providence, RI. If I was there for more than an hour, of course I would have looked you up.
Oh, and congrats on a nice airport. I was actually very impressed. Too bad one of the grounds crew is molesting my sweet sweet ipod baby as I wrote this.
The worst thing I lost was a windbreaker. Hardly compares to an ipod. Since I don’t have one, I’ll counter offer that anyone finding Mojotek’s ipod can send it to me and I’ll give you $5 plus shipping. :)
I may have left a few of my favorite CDs/cassettes somewhere. I had “Spice Girls” and a CD from “Weird Al Yankovic”. Priceless tresures, of course. Oh and I left money in a pocket in a lockerroom when I worked at Malley’s and someone took it upon themselves to rid me of that financial burden.
Now what I need to do is get on a plane and find your I-Pod. I hope it’s okay and returned to you in one, functional piece!
Aww dude, that SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so, so sorry for your loss. No jokes here.
But I’ve never really lost anything important during a vacation. Mainly because I don’t very often GO on real people vacations. But you give me a few more years and I’m sure I’ll have some sob stories for ya.
I left my towel in new port beach, it was a soft egyptian towel with spun fibers and it was soft like silk. Right now it is making someone else very happy and dry. sniff.
my kids. but i got them back.
It’’s OK — I just bought a new, better one … and it’s been fine ever since.
I do miss my soul, though. Sigh.

Oh no! that sucks.
I once went on vacation and forgot to pack any underwear. I had to hightail it to the mall when I got there to pick up some reserves.
I don’t own an iPod so I can’t relate to how you feel now that it’s lost. I have, however, lost my leg once. At first I thought it was some sick joke the fucker I married was playing on me, but I somehow managed to put it in my hall closet and hop to bed. I had too much tequila that night.
that bites. I’ve never left anything behind on a trip to my knowledge, thank god. I would be bawling like a baby if I lost my mp3 player.
