Gadget Hos

This post started at 4:00 am this morning. Sometimes you just get what you get.

I did indeed wake up at 4 this morning. I did indeed have thoughts of blogging racing through my head while I tried to shut down and go back to sleep. In the midst of this struggle, I began reflecting on the fact that I like gadgets. So much so, that you could probably call me a gadget ho. I don't know why it popped in my head, but it did. What can you do?

Now, under normal circumstances, calling me a ho of any order would be grounds for a good cussing, but just for today, I accept the term. Hell, I'll even patent it.

Gadgets are my thing. Cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, PDAs, flash drives, I love it all.

Apple is my favorite company on the planet right now. They brought us the iPod, the iPhone, and the iTouch.( The latter two not being products that I currently own, but most assuredly covet.) They have that damn thin ass laptop that I am pining for. Every time I see that commercial where the pull the laptop out of a manila envelope I get excited. What's a 1500.00 price tag when you can sport that baby?

But then I think about the Sony Vaio and how cute and little it is, and how it's such a mini-laptop and how I could totally rock that at the local Starbucks or Atlanta Bread Company while I sit in a booth drinking a vanilla latte.

And thanks to the Gadget Gods for developing the Crackberry! Pure genius! I can talk on the phone, take pictures, have my calendar, address book, and to do list at my fingertips, email my mom without breaking stride, and then go check out my favorite internet websites. Happy Happy Joy Joy! I am like so serious. I was pretty peeved with the powers that be at the J-O-B because they won't sanction one. Something about all the upgrades our secure server would need, blah, blah blah. I stopped listenining after The Boss kept telling me no. Instead I have to carry my work laptop and cell phone where ever I go. Just that little device, and all would be right with the world. OK, well, they did concede and offer to buy me an HP PDA with WiFi and Bluetooth, but it's just not the same. No qwerty keyboard to make it look all cute. But now that I think about it, I think I'll go ahead and place that order. A gadget's a gadget, what the hell.

And now, the latest is these external drives for your computer- they've gotten smaller and smaller (as well as cheaper and cheaper). You know I'll be heading to Best Buy this weekend to check them out.

For some women, it's shoes (I have that problem too- mainly hot ass cowboy boots, especially those w/ stiletto heels. Can you so Lucchese or Charlie 1 Horse?), clothes, or handbags. As far as I'm concerned, you can never have enough gadgets.

What's your vice? I know ya'll have some.
