Hubby just imformed us about a transformer 'blowout' of some kind in this last while.
At first, my son pitbulled his way from his room, down the hallway, and blared his intentions about his disconcernment surrounding NO INTERNET.
At first, I initially thought this funny.
Trying to quash this initial imbemusement (is that a word?), I instinctively went for the old faithful statement: "Sorry hon...I should have paid this months bill."
If it wasn't for hubby coming in, and stating the fact that a 'transformer was blown' at that particular time, there would be no 'face to save'.
~Kinda makes you wonder what life would be without cable and internet at this point in time~
I DO in fact....remember what it was like
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
I graduated from highschool back in 1984. I was 17.
There was no such thing as an 'internet'; let alone a 'home computer' in our neck of the woods.
We had rinky dink console systems...if you want to call it that. And they wern't the best (when I look back in time) but they served their purpose then. I remember playing my first Dragon Quest. Lord love the early RPG's.
We had to fuck around with 8 bit systems back when. Not the intricate (I don't know what the fuck system they have now) systems they have now.
~~~When I was 20 - first time I tried smoking pot. Took me about 2-3 times before I got high...now figure that one out?~~~ Probably should've held the smoke in longer I guess? lolol
When I look back in time....I can laugh...because it TRULY was retarded back then.
Commodor 64....what a laugh lololol
I first 'logged on' to the internet back in the early 90's. Dial-up seemed to take 'forever'. I was always wishing that someone would come up with a faster system.
Then came the era of DVD's.
I just learned how to 'splice tapes' when all of a sudden the sonsofbitches came out with lazer discs.
Then...I hated them more.
I hated to watch a movie on DVD, when all of a sudden, the sonofawhore would just 'STOP' playing. No matter what I did (rewind/fast forward) it didn't help. I fuckin destest 'scratchy discs.
I hated that I would have to have some dipshit at a video/convenience store put the 'scratched disc' in a machine (only to scratch the hell out of it further) and charge me for their efforts.
Fuck.
My patience was wearing thin at that point.
Then along comes 'BLUE RAY'.
What the fuck? Way ta get major moolahs from that sonofbitch system?
Sounds like they want to ditch the 'disc' and opt for more of....'what'?
Wakey wakey!!!
It's just more of the same imho. More money for what?
By the time you guys have read this...I'll have still been without cable/internet. I'm typing this from past experience.
Hubby is playing an old movie in the background out of boredom, and so I write this post as well.
I think back when I was in my 20's in the 1990's. What a different lifestyle then.
In 1984, I graduated highschool went back for 1 yr to 'up my grades'.
1985 - University
1986 - Flight Attendant
(other jobs inbetween)
1989 - Married
1990 - Birthed my son
1991 - Birthed my daughter
1992 - Decided to do something better in my life/Divorced my 1st husband/Nursing/Accounting-Micro Computer
1993 - My eyes are opening now....
1994 - Pissed off that I didn't see things clearer. Worked harder.
1995 - (possibly earlier) - went on a 'mission' - to officially find out about life; always 'knew' something was amiss.
1996 - Met hubby (life-saver) Son got CANCER.
Now the power is back on....
I'll tell you about 1996 > onward in my next diary
