Music in my ears

[charliesmum]

I really want an iPod, and can't afford one. Tragic, no?

I think I might tell my family to just chip in and buy me one for Christmas. Thing is, I don't often get to listen to music. Though I could fool myself into thinking I'd start exersising because I'll have the music to distract me. Or something.

Currently I'm listening to my MP3 player, which I do love, because over at house_music this lovely person made MP3s of songs from the show House, and I was able to get the ones I like on my player. My player, however, only holds a few songs, not the bazillion an iPod holds.

Question for ya'all.

Pot smoking. There was this post on buddhists and the guy was basically wondering if it would go against his practise to 'keep his friend company' by smoking pot, or something. Some people took me to task for pointing out that, whatever one's personal view, pot is illegal, and therefore you could be messing with your karma by going against the 'right thinking' thing. Many people pointed out that some laws are meant to be broken. Frankly I don't think a bunch of people smoking pot constitutes civil disobedience, but maybe my own experiences are colouring my opinion. What do you think?

I just think, by a certain age, one should outgrow things like drinking to excess* and smoking pot. And I do think one could have a couple of glasses of wine and be fine, but smoking pot immediately impairs you.

Anyhoodles, what are your opinions?

*not to say one still can't do that on occasion - one suffers for it more than one did when one was young
