Technology sucks donkey balls

Ok, so I have been thinking about stuff. I really don't think all the advances in technology are all that. And let me tell you why...Let me enlighten you ,if you will.

Now I have a pretty good collection of CD's. Ten years ago I swore I would never buy a CD. I would keep faithful to my trusty casstette tapes. I would never buy a CD player..No how, now way.

Well it was starting to get harder and harder to find cassettes and such so I had to break down and buy CD's. Now mind you in the last 10 plus years I have went thru a number of CD players. No matter how much I spend on one, it always seems to break down in one form or another. And I still have 2 cassette players from my youth, one from when I was 10 freaking years old and it still works..Along with my record player.

I have also found that my CD's and DVD's get scratched way too easy. I have many I cant even play anymore because of little tiny scratches. Now with my cassette tapes, I could always wind those suckers back up if the tape got caught. It was a very simple fix people..You take your finger tip or a pencil even, and you wind...Keep winding till she nice and tight. Even if it got to the point where it was a little crumpled it would still play, it would just be distorted over that spot, then play like normal after that part passed..

Same with vcr tapes. Those were easy fixes too. You just use the same technique...Wind er up and she is good to go..

But now I find myself getting not much use out of CD's or DVD's..They scratch way too easy..And I think this is what the makers want, they want us to wreck them, so we keep buying. Well sorry suckas..I am on to you..I just download everything to my trusty IPOD now, suck it people..Not gonna get me anymore..

and I will just start buying bootlegged movies, I mean I can afford to spend 2 fifty on movie for it to work only once or twice.

I am telling you, it is a huge conspiracy. There was nothing wrong with vcr tapes or cassettes...They just want us to think they are bad, when really, that was the only way to go. The tricked me, but I tell you what, they wont be tricking ole Bossy ever again..

On to family matter. Mr. Shaky pants has a birthday on Tuesday, Butch Bee has one Friday and Mr Shaky pants has his other appointment Wed...His symptoms are getting worse, now all his muscle groups are affected..He is going to hell in a hand basket...

Butch Bee was wanting to play with one of his friends Sunday. This friend could not play as he had company over. So Butch Bee wanted to play with this kid I can not stand...I will call him Ugly Kid..

Butch Bee goes on and on about how Ugly Kid makes him mad all the time..SO one day I told him to stop playing with Ugly Kid.

Sunday Butch Bee says " well I cant go play with Ugly Kid, Because you made me break up with him"

I only hope its that easy when he bring home Ugly Girl..

Ugly Kid.... That's funny! You forced a break up!

I'm so sorry that your hubby's shaking problem is getting worse. That is so scary. There are a number of disorders/diseases that come to mind. I'm hoping so much that his problem is not a serious one. I know you joke about it some, but I'm sure you are worried.
I hope you all spoil him a LOT on his b-day. Overwhelm him with love and attention. The poor guy needs encouragement. He must be filled with anxiety, even if he doesn't show it.

JM said...

Leave it to mommy to force a break up.
I do the same thing, I download my CDs immediately into my iPod. And the music is saved in my iPod library should anything happen to my iPod. This is also backed up by saving my iPod library onto an external drive. So yeah, I'm pretty much safe.

You mean mommy - forcing him to break up with the ugly kid...lol...

Hope everyone has a great b-day this week! And I hope they find something to help your Hubby...sending lots of good thoughts your way...

I hear ya on the scratched CD's and DVD's. But I still like em better than cassettes, for the reason that it's easier to get to the song you want.

Anyways, I'm not sure what is wrong with your hubby... think i missed that part... but I will keep him in my prayers.

Is "ugly" politically correct? Maybe you should say "beauty challenged kid"...lol I have so much to look forward to as Bug gets older...lol

I hope everyone has a happy bday and hubby's appt goes well. My BIL had a problem a little similar to your hubby's and they found out he has this disease that was brought on by lack of sleep from back when he was in college, he's 40 now. Weird, huh? Hopefully it's nothing serious. As always, I'll say a little prayer and keep good thoughts.

I'm all for bringing back 8-track tapes....lol

eyes_only4him said...

Mrs D,
yes very true on the song skipping...that is a good point on cd's..but to heck with the rest..

denise,
oh my bad...oh heck I like ugly kid better;)

you just wait...Bug will have a friend you dont like..and you will call her stinky or something like that;)

Mike,
8 trakcs..yes forgot about those...those were a little before my time..I am young still;)

Karin said...

you do have a point about the indestructibility of tapes but I still prefer the sound quality and co0nvience of cds. Since the invention of the ipod I have all my music in my computer so the cds don't get tossed around and therefore won't get scratched. So if I lose my hard drive all my cd's have only been used once.

I hope everything goes ok with Mr. shaky pants and that he has a great birthday. Let us know what the doctor says cause we are all waiting.

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Aaaww, everyone but me has an iPod ... no fair.
Hope hubby's shaking problem will be sorted out soon. Must be very frustrating for him. My thoughts are with you, in hope that it is something easily treatable. Hope his birthday goes wonderfully ... shower him with lots of love and kisses.
Take care, meow

I know what you mean about cd/dvd players...ours always break. We bought TWO $400 ones & they both broke within a yr or so.

Sigh...we got another one though...I guess we aren't as loyal to the old cassette tape...:)

Nerdine said...

I know! I have a cassette player/ radio I got when I was 7 or so - it even lived through me opening it to see how it worked. I put it together again and it still worked. Miracle!
Now I have an extra harddrive where I keep all my music - about 60 GB now. Although I've only ever destroyed (scratched) one cd ever - I'm scared it's going to happen with a more valued CD (I got a big scratch on my ally McBeal cd - not a great loss...)

I really hope mr ShakyPants gets better soon! And I really, really, really hope it's not something serious...
Take care!

keesh said...

Forgive me if you have already said, but do they know what is wrong with your hubby yet?

Also, I agree with you on the cassettes and VHS, why ruin a good thing? I don't see how making things more expensive and useless makes them better :(.

Anonymous said...

First, i'm totally cracking up with the CD,DVD part. I agree. SO MUCH AGREE. If we buy a cd, we d/l it to my computer, and burn a CD, so the original stays good. Its horrid!! I can't burn DVD's with my computer and that just bites.

Ugly kid! You made him break up with him! You are just too funny.

I hope things will get figured out with hubby. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Many hugs to you.

Party at Bossy's!!! Really hope you are able to have lots of fun on little money. We'll see...

Too funny about ugly kid. If only it was that easy when the girls start calling and asking him out. My son has never asked a girl out due to the fact they ask before he gets around to asking. Guess that makes them pushy girls or son too slow.

Good thoughts for Mr. SP's appointment. Hopefully it will be some minor thing we haven't diagnosed him with yet. Lots of prayers and good thoughts coming your way.

eyes_only4him said...

tammy,
so you gonna come to one of the birthday parites this week? or are you holding out for mine?

If a girl ever calls here wanting to talk with my butch bee, there will be trouble..and if a boy calls wanting to talk to blondie or boo...they will die..

no school today, we got a big ole snow storm last night..blondie is all up in arms cause she is star of the week this week and her daddy was gonna go have lunch with her today...now she dont have school till wednsaday and he cant have lunch with her then, cuz he goes back to the doc and work in the city that day..now he is working from here..

ok this was too long, i shoulda just emailed you..gotta get in the shower;)

Anonymous said...

Bummer for poor Meg. Will Mr. SP be able to have lunch with her on Friday? Nothing like going to school every other day. Through in weather and holidays and it's all over.

If I can't grace you with my presence on your birthday, I'll at least send a present!

I think the state of Kansas would have rather had snow yesterday. I know I would have!

Anonymous said...

Shoot! Noticed a booboo as I hit the button. Make that 'throw' instead of 'through'! Forgive me. It's Monday morning.

eyes_only4him said...

nope he cant on friday cause he will be back at work in the city then...the last week he has been working here in this crappy town..so wed i am gonna go have lunch with her..
