the sounds of music

condolences to my headphones, which i've retired a couple of weeks ago. the left ear no longer plays me sweet sound, and the cushions won't say on for more than a day.



it served me well when i needed them, whenever i needed to space out for a bit. sure, they cut me off from the rest of the world whenever i turned them up, but it was damn worth it. now i have to resort to using my laptop speakers, since my rather old edifiers here are starting to distort sound. my sony earphones are now officially owned by my brothers, so i can't use them.



the omniscient and the wise sir joseph guzman told us once that earphones guaranteed the death of social interaction. now, that would be true if everyone in the world had earphones, but no, people still recognize common courtesy and the importance of when to take 'em off. though, he did say that when we were all tuned in to our own sounds.



either way, i need new ear/headphones, preferrably the latter, and preferrably with comfy cushions for the ear, like my old ones. i can't listen to music around here without people telling me to turn it down, and i don't roll like that.
