I’m starting to hear more and more and more about how people with iPods are posers and wannabes and losers and posers. I don’t understand this.
\nI DO understand how people have been succumbing to pop culture since the beginning of time, and how advertisements affect people’s spending habits.

This’ll all have to happen when I come back from school though, since it’s being shipped to my college box…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
