sooo....

so there was a big free dinner thing put on at the memphis Zoo tonight sponsored by Fred's pharmacy (the idea is we get free stuff and then we work for them when we graduate)- it was cool cause i got to walk around by myself and check out all the animals and stuff- the actual food and stuff was in the panda exhibit which is usually extra money (i.e. i've never been in the panda exhibit before)- actually i dont see what the big deal about the pandas was- eh well- but at the end of the night they do door prizes and i was actually ready to leave- "i've been here the last 2 years and they never have any good stuff at these- lets get out of here" i said...."no lets stay for the prizes"..."whatever you want"... and i'm screwing around waiting for it to be over- and the last thing they give out is one of the new 4gig ipod nanos (this one was lime green)- and they reached into the bag- and right then i thought to myself "its me- i'm gonna win that ipod" and i started walking towards the stage- "and the winner is... Scott... Burka!"- it was really weird- i dont believe in premonition at all, and i totally consider what happened as just a big coincidence- but man- that was just crazy- i'm pretty sure all my friends kinda resented the fact that i won it (totally not kidding) seeing as how i already own 2 ipods and this makes #3 (in my defense- i have a 2gig nano and an old 15-gig that cant hold a charge for more than an hour... so i mean... its more like i had 1.2 ipods before this) and many of them are in the market for getting mp3 players... it actually kinda made me a little uncomfortable that everyone was giving me these mean looks-- i made a joke to brent at how thats what lottery winners must feel like? (i dont think anyone was really feeling my "hey i got another ipod!" jokes... ) i mean... crap- i know i'm the last guy in the world who needed to win that, but it happened, and i'm not just gonna hand a $200 mp3 player off cause i already have one...is that bad of me? i definitly dont want to be selfish or stingy, but you gotta take the good stuff when it comes your way, right?
as a show of good faith i'm selling my 2gig nano to a 2nd year girl who needs one...
