First timer

So you will have to for give me if this isn't so good I am a first timer. I am at work talking to my friend who is telling me about her daughter who blogs, now mind you I have heard of blogging from my own son, but I haven't got a clue. Now my friend is cracking me up big time, so she writes down this address. She has got my curiousity up. (I know what curiousity did to the cat, but satisfaction did after all bring him back)! Anyway, so I go and start reading her blog and it is so good and funny. She should be a writer! So anyway I thought I would give this a try. I thought I would talk about gadgets:


So you have to love the gadgets, but sometimes it just drives me crazy! Just when you think you are up on things they come up with something new! For example: Now mind you this is dating myself, but here goes anyway: I remember getting a stereo for my 13th birthday and I thought it was the greatest thing ever! Now I can play albums Wow!! Oh not to mention it was Am/Fm radio. Fm whats that anyway I have been listening to Am radio since I can't remember, but wow you get better stations on Fm! Now there is 8 track and than just tape player and low and behold they come out with CD's. So you buy all these albums, 8tracks and so on NOW you have to replace them with CD's! Now you talk about replacing stuff, you get the VHS and buy all these movies and what do they do come out with DVD's, SO NOW you have to go get the player and start your collection all over again! So that's cool DVD is so much bettter, BUT WAIT, now they come out with HDVD What the heck!!!! Now Blue Ray, You see where I am going with this?? Just when you think you are doing good with your gadgets they come out with something better. Just like Cell Phones oh they have so many choices and so many plans and than you have bluetooth and blackberries I mean what the heck!! Oh and don't even mention TV's I just can't keep up with it! It makes me nuts!! Course my kids think I am crazy anyway, but thats another story!! I guess what I am getting at no matter how gadgets savvy you think you are, there is always something better lurking in the distance.
