Yesterday
The park was all mine yesterday. I was really off balance for some reason and just stuck to the basics. I still ended up on my back an awful lot of times. I scooted around the park before I left and cleaned up empty drink bottles. There are two trash cans at the park. Come on people, why not just take a sec to skate over and throw your trash away?
I met Sarah at Target to get her new glasses. Ruby was so cute in her red outfit and Gryphon was rocking in his new White Airwalks. I have to get him on a board this summer... Speaking of kicks, I checked out Ross before meeting up with the Fam and saw an updated pair of the Converse skate shoes that I had for close to 3 years. They were the only pair left and they were my perfect size 8. Most of the time if I see a decent skate-shoe at Ross or Marshalls do they have them in my size. So I got them.
Sarah wanted to get the New Tori CD. In store it is at least $15. She is still attached to getting the whole package CD, Notes and the "thrill" of holding the CD and putting it into the CD player...how archaic.. :oP (JK Rah you know I love ya). I don't think I will ever buy a CD again. The only CD I may buy are Cure CD's but thats not even a given. I don't even remember the last CD I bought. For a while I did use Morpeous, Kazaa, the original Napster, some FTP sites and Hotline to get music. I havent really done that stuff for a while. Even iTunes at .99cents a song is not much different. At that point you might as well get your monies worth and buy the CD. I have found a site that sells music legaly. i know they recently went through a law suite and won. They pay all the royalties they need to apparntly. The site:
ALLOFMP3.com (and the page to buy gift certificates for music lovers you might know. (ok, me))
You just fill your account with at least $10 and you are ready to go. They charge 2cents a mb. Yep! 2 pennys for a mb. do you know how many albums you can get for $10? Lets just say I got the new Tori album-The Beekeeper, mp3 encoded at CD quality (320k bit-rate) 19songs, 182mb for $3.64!
I only got it at that quality to burn a nice CD for Sarah. Anything else I get I will have encoded @192 and a whole album costs @$1.50!
Did I mention you can have the files encoded with any codec? All sorts of WMA, mp3,ogg,monkey..etc I think they have them all covered. Also if you can not download certian types of files because of a nasty firewall or something you can have your files named with other extensions like .zip, .htm,.jpg..etc. Nice.
The only small draw back is that once you DL your files you can not DL them again unless you buy them again...no biggy at @20cents a song. Oh you can also just buy the songs you like.
bye.
