Helmet cam....don't forget that!

My headphones are usually for the up - I typically put them away for the down, even if I'm skiing alone.  Nothing is more annoying than having one side fall out in the middle of a good NIN track.

I don't wear them every-time-all-the-time.  Sometimes I simply don't feel like listening to them.  Sometimes I need the inspiration to keep charging.  Sometimes its nice to turn up the volume and have my own personal soundtrack.

"So what?"
"So what? So let's dance!"
