now we have entered my realm. live recording on an ipod is shaky at best. yes, there are several microphone plug-ins for the i-pod(griffin technology i-talk comes to mind). most of these are intended for voice recording(think meetings/memos to self, etc.). in order to get better sound quality you'd have to use a "phantom power supply" and some quality mics, this works great w/ minidisc and dats, and even some other mp3 players. with the ipod, you are restricted to a certain compression rate, so you can only go so far in respect to quality of recording...there are ways to "hack" the pod and get it to record at a higher khz rating, but from what i hear this is iffy. i believe i read someplace that some pods only record in mono...could be wrong though. so in short, if you want to record a meeting or voice memos, your just an accesory away...but if your looking to make a *quality* bootleg of your favorite band...you'll want to look elsewhere(minidisc/dat/edirol hard-drive recorder).

sorry. windows no work-e work-e.
I'm sure ther'e some sort of 12 step program out there. As for the music playback/creation, sorry...that's a cop out. People listened to and created music long before computers. As for e-mail, you've already stated you've cut yourself off from flesh and blood contact...maybe some phone calls or actual snail mail on your part could mend those friendships/relationships. I don't mean to come off as gruff, but tough love is the only way to deal with something like this. You've already identified the problem(s), so take your life into your own hands and fix it. You can do it, really. Good luck!
What are you still doing here? I mean right now...unplug the fucking computer and live your life...we'll still be here later when you have control of your life again. Go!
well there goes my "get high and stay high the entire time and see where i end up in my rental car" vacation to australia. have you ever seen a koala...on WEED?!?! dude...it's like they can see into your soul. seriously, this sems a bit much...and yes,i'd really like to stay high for entire week in australia. guess i'll just take my bong to the zoo and hang with the koalas...but they're all americanized and shit. it's like being high at an outback stakhouse. i know the truth, I AM NOT IN AUSTRALIA. *hmmm-bloomin' onions-i got the munchies.*
manbeef synchronicity...strange, but good. we can only hope that some great mind will one day make a fake website that will bring the great teachings of manbeef to the unholy masses. i quick search reveals that "thechurchofmanbeef.org" seems to still be available. hmmm, i've always wanted my own church...
on of my all time fave-o-rites is manbeef. maybe i'm partial...i ship human organs for transplant for a living, so i found the site pretty damn funny. the site's now off-line(gone), but the link above does include a screen capture of the old site. classic.
whoa...dude. i'm not easily so freaked out by things, but i almost feel like i should be afraid of the secret service knocking on my door just for reading that. there are many...i mean many things that i do not approve of when it comes to bush...but really, fantasy fiction about asassination? even in the name of humor, it doesn't seem right. i'm sad too, man. really. i wish kerry would have won. i only hope that the right wing sites don't run with a funny edward's wife has breast cancer story. maybe they could call the cancer a "weapon of mass destruction"...get it? wouldn't that be funny! that will show us!
i think we're all a little above all this, don't you? really.
i snickered...just a tad.
