I-Tunes Store

Have you ever wanted to just leave the house while your on the computer and then someone calls you up?  Yeah well this happens to me all the time, the only difference is, it's normally Jack, and he's normally telling me about the new free song on i-tunes that comes up once a week.  Yes I know, boohoo, I only go out once a week. :P  Back to the problem at hand.

So Jack calls me up and says, "Oh My Goody-two-shoes!  Darlene, you HAVE to get this song!!!  Oh and get this..."  Pause for dramatic effect, "IT'S FREE!!!"

That right there, those two words (actually two combined words and one real one), get me every time.  You see I have a sore spot for free things and/or things that are cheap.  Whether they are actually crap stuff and I will probably never use it, read, play with it, whatever.  I will purchase it if it is cheap, or better yet, free.

So I kick off my shoes and run wildly over to the recently shut off computer, click the on button and wait 15 minutes.  Once the computer is on,  I randomly click the i-tunes button hoping that it will open today and not tell me that I need an up-date.  If I'm lucky it will open another 5 minutes after clicking it.  That's already a total of 20 minutes.  Once it's open I click on i-tunes store, and wait for that to load.  The whole while I'm anxiously hopping from foot to foot awaiting this "awesome song".  Once it's loaded I will scroll down to the bottom where the free stuff is and click the right song, or what I hope is the right song.  I wait 20 minutes for a 2 minute song to load. 


FINALLY I can listen to it.  I click play and the music comes on...  These are my emotions as follows.

Thank you, Jack. And slow moving computer my day has just gone by and I'm still in the house.

So Raygunn and I were discussing the idea of a real live i-tunes store.  That's right, in the physical world that we could leave the house and feel, hear, touch, see, and if need be, taste.  Think about it!  Instead of waiting for the computer to do it's sh*t you can just waltz on over there and purchase it with cold hard cash!  You wouldn't need to remember a stinking password, just show them your face and tell 'em how to spell your name.  How much nicer would it be if you could just walk over there and grab the free song off the shelf go up to the cashier give them your name and leave.  Not only would that save your butt from doing extra work, (meaning sitting) but you would get to leave the house!  Maybe they'd even sell those cool shirts with the apple sign on them, and stuff like that.  I'm just saying that I'd feel more implied to purchase things from i-tunes if it were real instead of virtual, then you don't have to bother going out and looking for a place that sells i-tunes cards.  Find a random $5 in your pocket?  To the i-tunes store!!!  Is that another penny on the ground, bringing my penny count up to the mandatory .99?  To the i-tunes store!!!  Pirating music would be silly, you could take the time, get off your lazy @$$ and purchase some t-shirts while getting all the latest music!

Dear Apple please consider the following,

Purchase your selves a building and make a store.

People who like to leave the house on sunny days.

No Big Deal.
