Apple domination

Apple seems to be in a league of its own nowadays, I mean they have always been different from the other computer companies but now they have completely surpassed everyone else. There breakthrough started with the aluminum built Mac book pro and soon after they came out with the iphone which really put apple on the map it became the most popular device practically overnight they followed the progress they made with the iPhone by coming out with an iPod based on the same technology and that also instantaneously became a hit and set a record in sales for mobile music devices. It became the bar for all mobile devices afterwards, you would often see new phones brand themselves the iPhone killer or new mp3 players would boast that they had more memory than the iPod but these things never stopped people from buying them other companies tried so hard to bring apple down from its pedestal but it just wasn’t happening. It wasn’t until the iphone 4 came out with a minor design flaw the revolutionary antenna had a problem with signal. It became the biggest thing on the news and all over the internet. Other phone companies took this opportunity to take a hit at the once invincible device. You would notice phone commercials that hinted at the iPhones flaws and stating that you could hold their phone however you wanted to. Apple wasted no time fixing this problem but the damage was already done the iphone finally fell of its pedestal.

Whats up with these cartoons?

My favorite television show used to be and still is chowder it is a cartoon that aired on cartoon network for a while. I know I might be a little old to be watching cartoons but it still entertains me for some reason. I had stopped watching cartoons for a while when we didn’t have cable when I finally got cable back and I wanted to get back to watching my favorite cartoon it was nowhere to be found its been replaced with some new cartoons that don’t even make sense. I mean if I had kids I don’t think I would let them watch this crap that they are showing nowadays. Half of the stuff they are showing makes no sense and there is no story behind what they’re saying it’s just complete crap. After I forced myself to watch the utter garbage that they were calling cartoons nowadays I switched channels to another cartoon channel hopping that they had something better going on. I ended up being equally disappointed with what they had to offer it really seems like they just throw anything out there nowadays. There is no effort going into these cartoons I remember back in the day when not only were the cartoons funny but they actually had a meaning to them and maybe even taught you something. I can’t name the amount of classical music I learned from Tom and Jerry or what moral values I learned from superman or Popeye. They need to do better.

Movies

Star wars was one of the most popular movies ever made it created its own universe. Every sci-fi movie that came after it had to compete with it but none came close and star wars was king of sci-fi for years to come. Heated arguments were sparked over the movie and whole stadiums were bought out to host conventions just in the honor of the movie and anyone that even dared say it was not the best sci-fi movie ever made basically condemned there selves. It wasn’t till 2009 almost twenty years later that a movie came out that actually rivaled it in gross sales and popularity the movies name was avatar. The movie was about a group of humans that were trying to harvest a planet of a rare mineral. The problem was there is an indigenous race of aliens that inhabited the planet, the humans way of trying to persuade the race of aliens was to create a clone of the aliens that could be controlled remotely by humans. This movie ended up being the highest grossing film in the world it destroyed all six of the star wars previous records. But there is still some speculation that avatar could not come anywhere close to a classic like star wars they may in fact be right but avatar itself is now becoming a legend doing the same thing star wars did years ago. Nobody wants the darth vader costume for Halloween anymore everyone wants to dress up as one of the characters from avatar.

Things i like to do

There are a lot o things that I like in life, lots of things that bring me joy, I will go on to name a few of those things. One of my favorite hobbies is working on cars; I don’t know what it is about getting all greasy that just excites me. I like to add performance to cars I’ve helped my friends work on project cars over the years but I have yet to have a project car of my own. One day I will have enough money to finance my hobby and I will be very happy. Another one of my joys in life is computers; I love to build computers and anything that makes computers perform better such as cooling the computer off to increase its reliability under load. My computer hobby is also a pretty expensive hobby parts for computers rarely go under twenty dollars. All these things make me very happy indeed I will make sure one day I will be able to afford all these things. My last major hobby is playing video games but I mean who doesn’t like video games, I mean there cheap and provide hours of entertainment I think that of all my hobbies playing video games should be the easiest one to keep up with.

Video games

Slowly but surely video games are taking over the world, they tie into everything that we do nowadays even getting fit. Video games have come a long way since the days of pong and those really old games your parents used to play, or even your grandparents. The technology in games nowadays is amazing the lengths the go to make a good game these technologies include live motion capturing of living people and motion detection such as the Wii, the Playstation 3 and Xbox have all followed suit and each have their own version of this technology. I’m sure we all wonder what the future has in store for the video game world maybe one day we will have a complete virtual reality suit that will completely immerse us into the game or maybe something were we could actually feel what we are touching in the game, feel the texture and all the little details of the object. I can’t even remember what my first video game was I think it was the original black and white game boy with super Mario. I remember the first day with my new game boy I couldn’t put it down it wasn’t till the battery died that I finally gave it a rest that is till two minutes later when I got some new ones. That night I slept with my game boy and wouldn’t let anyone see it even though my uncle desperately wanted to try it out I kept denying him.

What if

What if one day your girlfriend called you and told you she was pregnant? How would you react to that, I know how I would react I would be scared senseless. The first thing that would come to mind would be everything, including telling my family, telling her family and dealing with the whole situation. I mean I understand that I would have nine months to prepare myself but I am the type that likes to be overly prepared especially when it is something as important as a little ones life. I always wonder if I would make a good father but I don’t think I want to find out just yet. Another thing to take into account is my age I think a child would really hinder my future and if not mine then my girlfriends because someone has to watch the baby while the other goes to school and or work. All in all I think it is just a big stressful ordeal that can easily be avoided by just using protection or dare I say it not doing it at all. I know that sounds crazy especially for people around my age but it is just the bare truth. If you are not prepared for the consequences then just avoid the situation in a whole. You will end up thanking yourself when you’re the one out of your group to actually make it to adulthood and have done all that you wanted without a child in your group of friends.

The future

What does the future have in store for me? This is a universal question among all human beings. But I still have to wonder what is in my future, will I get that car I always wanted. I always wanted the most exotic car there was out at the time and the one that sounded the best I think my choice right now would be the Aston martin one seventy seven it is a beautiful car that makes one of the meanest sounds I have ever heard out of a car. I would also like the Buggati veyron the fastest car in the world just to see how going two hundred and fifty plus miles an hour feels like. If it really numbs your body and even the slightest movement will have dire consequences. Next on my list of things I would like is the perfect house, I always liked modern style houses maybe something with a view but not too secluded. I don’t know where the perfect location would be but I could always picture my dream house. The best part about it is that all these things don’t have to be dreams with a little determination and hard work all of these things can be accomplished but maybe in like my thirties or fourties. Maybe I’ll be a big ceo of a giant fortune five hundred company. Of course the last thing on my list is the perfect wife the kind that can be a trophy wife but not a complete idiot at the same time.
