Moving On....Ward!

I remember yesteryears when I would go to my room to read before going to sleep. My room was full of books and half of my bed was strewn with books that I was reading. I used to read many, different books at the same time depending on my mood. One night I would read suspense, another night romance, next fantasy... I read whatever I felt like reading. I still read the last 50 pages before starting a book but then, I hardly ever read books these days. I kinda miss it.

These days, we all have our little gadgets to put us to sleep. We all have our little headsets on so as not to disturb others. Jon has this wonderful wireless headset that lets him watch TV til the wee hours. They tinker with thingamabobs to play games or listen to music. The night table is strewn with remote controls and thingamajigs. What is happening to the world? It is moving onwards too fast and I'm getting left behind. I am totally lost with a remote control that has more than 20 buttons. All I can understand is up or down for volume and left or right for channels. I was amazed when I accidentally pressed a button and the screen froze! There's a button called "still"... press it and the picture goes still. I wonder why a button like that exists. I feel like I'm trapped in quicksand. I can see things happening but I can't keep up. It's so cool, if you like Stephen King, but it can be frustrating especially since I buy these things and never get to use them. It's me and my lazy ass that's weighing me down.


C'mon, c'mon... move it!
