the price of cool...

i like music, so it makes sense that i would invest in a nice set of earphones. Last Christmas, after the holiday gift cards came in, I went out in search for these earphones. As i scanned aisle after aisle of headphones and earphones, i finally settled on THE ones: Apple in-ear earphones. It didnt matter that they were overpriced because i had gift cards, so i bought em! Initially, I was WAY excited! The box was pretty, the case was shiny, the earbuds were wrapped with this soft silicone... whats not to like?... and then it hit, i could not figure out how to fit these in my ear. i twisted and turned, and probably jammed those suckers further down the ear canal than youre supposed to, all to no avail. Needless to say, i was pretty disappointed. Every few months, I'd come back to these earphones and try em on again, with the same results... Failure. So this Christmas, I finally gave up, and said, "Merry Christmas big brother, i got you Apple earphones for Christmas!" of course he didnt believe that i was actually being that generous, so this sad sad story came out... He then helped me try to figure out how to fit these suckers in my ear, and this time, it worked!
