A Boy with His Toys

This has been quite a year for me so far, and I am amazed at how fast it has gone by. I guess it is like the older I get the faster time tends to pass by like if I blink another year has come and gone. Sometimes I just have to wonder why things are the way they are. Right now I just get this feeling that no matter what happens in my life I it doesn't seem to replace the emptiness I feel in my heart. I tried to work as much as I can stand working and even with all the work I have been doing I still come home to this empty house and more and more it is driving me nuts. I need to get out and do things but I can't seem to get motivated enough to do anything. I enjoy spending time with my daughter on weekends when I am actually not working which is most of the time but I do see here during the week also. Well I guess I can only do what I have done in the past which is take it one day at a time.

I have made some purchases this year some of it out of necessity, like replacing my tower for my desktop computer which crapped out on me shortly after having to do the same for my daughters computer. Then started all the fun purchases like my new digital camera that I bought so that I could have one to carry around in case of emergencies I tried to tell myself but I haven't had one of those in a long time but nevertheless I got it anyway what can I say it was on sale and I couldn't pass that up now could I, it just wouldn't be right. Next came my laptop that I had been putting off for quite some time, I always wanted to get one for when I have to go to the dealer for maintenance or repair work to have something to do but once again I have only been to the dealer once since I bought it and of all things it was for something that required me leaving my car for a couple of days. I really couldn't see myself camping out their til my car was ready. The rental car I got was okay had a back up camera by the license plate pretty cool but the car well it was just so so.


Now comes all the fun purchases that were just for the sake of having them starting with my Ipod I got cause once again I have always wanted one to be able to listen to music on them. I have friends that have them and tell me how nice they are no more cd's to carry just your Ipod. Anyway I got that I haven't been able to do much downloading of new music not to mentionI haven't really set up my Ipod with proper folders yet. I even bought one of those for dummy books to learn more about Ipods and Itunes. It came with video and book which is still sitting on my desk still unopened which is pretty much the norm with me and any new purchases of books or dvds. Well after purchasing my Ipod earlier this year Apple decides to bring out the Ipad and your right I just had to have it and now I have the bigger Ipad which I store my digital copies of movies and the Ipod to handle all the music since both Ipod and Ipad are both 64 gb.

Now my last purchase is that of one of those Flip video minoHD camcorders I was looking into these a while back but never got past that stage and then recently someone from work brought theirs in and it renewed my interest in them all over again. Well I went out and bought one and have messed around with it here and there but today on my way home I held the Flip in my hand while driving filming my trip home to see how it would turn out. All the while keeping an eye for the cops or chp not wanting to get pulled over for having it in my hand while driving. When I got home I played it back on my TV via HDMI cable. It looked pretty good and clear filming it through my windshield. You can tell it was done by an amateur because the filming showed all the bumps in the road during the playback but nevertheless I was still impressed with the quality of the video.

My next thing for my wish list is going to have to be put off for another year and a half at least. AT&T is coming out with there new Blackberry Torch which is there new Touchscreen version of the Blackberry with the slide out qwerty key pad. I haven't seen it up close yet but just from what I have seen online about it I think it is pretty cool and I would of probably not gotten 2 phones if that was available when I renewed my contract earlier this year. If I had only waited a few more months but then again if I had I wouldn't have been able to loan my old razor to my daughter when hers died. Well anyway now I will have to wait at least a year and a half before I can upgrade without paying full price. So far I like the promo for it and is a better quality then the one that I have but maybe it is for the best cause if there is any problems they can get the bugs out by then like their new Iphone 4G.

Well I guess this is where I summorize the fact that if there is a cool new toy that I will actually use however little but still be put to use to a certain degree. Like I have always wanted to buy the new WII but knowing that I don't really play with the systems that I already have why would I buy another to sit there and collect dust. Well enough my tale of a boy with his toys and keep posted to the possibilities of New Adventures of Tony the Tazman. Well bye for now.
