My Biggest Vice... iTunes! *Update - Not Happy With Apple

It's actually not a bad thing, however.  Plus I was able to incorporate my existing CD collection to it and my iPod.  The ones that I have had since I was a teen up until now with the ones that I find at thrift shops and yard sales too.  The artists that wear fur I will not support but if I like their music or movies I will buy it 2nd hand to be honest.

Music is truly a positive experience for me.  Uplifting and energizing.  So I do not mind buying the majority of my music online legally via iTunes.  Actually, all my latest music I purchase is via Apple because it's so convenient and they save a copy of all your purchases.  In about 2 years I have purchased over 300 songs.  Mostly the best of albums, that song you just can't get out of your head and long time favorites.  Is it kinda crazy to want to share my collection with you?  Oh who cares.  This is my blog and I want too! lol

That is my moral media collection!  I still have more CDs to add but right now my iTunes sort of reflects the side of me that I want uplifted.  I really do love music that has that compassionate, universal, enlightening and intelligent message. Songs that have meaning that touch me and I can relate to or our society should take note of.  Media with meaning.  I use music to meditate, to work, to relax, to work out and just about every aspect of my day.  When I am not listening to music I do love to stream my Netflix!  Now that's another blog entry.

Update.  I purchased a brand new CD from HMV this past weekend.  I had a feeling to get the physical instead and it was actually a great thing because it was much less.  With another purchase it was only $7.99 and of course there was something my husband really wanted too so it was great for the both of us.  Minutes after I got home I opened my iTunes and added my new CD and then right after added it to my iPod.  It was that easy.

Today I purchased two songs by Madonna, 4 minutes and Revolver, and the rest of my Marina and the Diamonds FROOT pre-order on iTunes.  Moral Media is sweeter to listen too, in my honest opinion.

Purchased a few more iTunes and CDs.  I am not stopping anytime soon either.  Here are my recently added songs and/or albums.

Update-February 15, 2021- iTunes updated their software to not included purchased media.  I am not happy about that.  I got a new apple device and only a quarter of my music showed up.  I will never buy another apple song or apple device again.

Vintage Valentine's Day Cards

I really love retro things and Valentine's day cards are no exception.  I found a bunch of them on Google.  What a treasure.  I love the internet.

Here are a few of my favorites...



I find them all to be so adorable, a bit creepy and even strange.
