Ear Bud...
You know that low-budget movie about the dog who plays basketball, Air Bud? Well this post has nothing to do with that. It's about me and my ears. Specifically, my right ear. You see, I got an iRiver MP3 player for Christmas from Beth, but haven't been able to use it until recently (due to our low-tech Win98 computer). Now we've upgraded and I can finally use my Christmas present.
I use the MP3 player when I'm mowing the lawn, and will use it whenever I get around to practicing the drums. Here's the thing: the right ear bud doesn't fit my ear very well and always slipped out when I was mowing the lawn. There could be a few reasons for this. Maybe my right ear is somehow mutated and deformed? It looks okay in the mirror, but it's hard to look at your ears because you have to turn your head and then your eyes are looking way to the left and you have to kind of strain and squint to look back at your ear in the mirror.
I thought maybe the ear buds were different, but no, they look exactly the same. Maybe I sweat more from the right side of my head, so it was slipping out? That doesn't make much sense because I sweat a lot from all over. Maybe my right leg is slightly shorter than my left leg, so I limp unnoticeably around the yard as I mow, slowly jarring the bud from my ear? Maybe it's heavier, so gravity pulls on it more than the left bud? Maybe there was ear wax in my left ear keeping it in place?
It is a mystery that will haunt me until I mow again. If you've had this experience, your comments would be welcome. Don't lose any sleep over it though. Maybe duct taping it to my head would work....

have you tried stapling the wire to the side of your face? that might help..
regardless, you shouldnt use those earbud things -- your nurse wife should smack you upside the head for abusing your ears like that

I agree.
Bad for your ears.
Get a pair of Beringer professional headphones, the big ones like they use in recording studios. Very comfortable, the most pristine sounds come out of 'em (when attached at one end to music, that is), and they run about $60 (comparable prices for same product , same quality, by other companies is over $200). Get 'em at any (hopefully) music store that sells Beringer line of products. I use 'em when i play my Washburn Bass. Love 'em.
