HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! hope everyone had a wonderfull time.
what will this year bring us? change? diversity? more money? higher prices? will there be peace among us? who really knows? only thing i can say, " i cant wait to find out" i am blessed to live in these times. we have been witness to amazing technilogical advances. remember your first vcr? or should i say betamax? them first remotes? with a cord? how was that remote? so we used that idea on our phones. a tangled blob of cord forever hung.
we got to use the first microwaves. this machine took up the entire counter and took 3 men to bring it in the house. we wern't allowed to stand next to it when it was cooking. there was a great big dial, like flavor flavs clock, that hung there manacingly enough, with a huge freezer type handle. scary
we then saw cordlessness take over our worlds. phones, tv remotes, rc cars, walkmen, calculators, including a watch, screwdrivers, and just about all tools now.
we were witness to the first computers...remember the great big apple at the library. home video games, i still have an atari 2600, along with other "vintage" games.
cell phones, portable computers, fax machines,i pods, battery powered cars, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, lamborghinis, singing fish, the simpsons, oj simpson, jessica simpson, bell bottoms, tight rolls, then bell bottoms again, i could go on and on listing things that have been invented on my clock. the list would be endless, useless, and probably a bore. but we lived it, and continue living it. like the longest movie in history. will you make it till the credits run, i doubt it, but half the fun is trying....right. so if i dont see ya before my stack of quarters runs out, i lived, i laughed, and i have loved. each person has purpose and fate is all around us. we just have to be looking for the signs. i wish you lots of love and happiness in 2009.
