Hey All,
Been a long time since I blogged so here goes:
I won an IPAD yesterday and as excited as I was and how much fun I had winning it ; I yelled BINGO like it was saving a life and so did my cousin Franny. I crack up thinking about the moment and her face for a brief second ever after 3 hours of playing the game the two of us stared at each other after I dabbed B2 like OMG WHAT DO I SAY ?. lol GREAT MOMENT. Well I said BINGO so did she and I collected my prize, thought the whole way home wow what am I going to do on it, how does it work, I can't believe I never bought myself one , wait till the kids see this it's never mine again, so many other things. Thinking about more I said to myself awww I wish I could show my Dad this new toy. He would have taken that new piece of technology and like a 12 year old taking a test the next day studied the material for it. He didn't like too many things to beat him and I know this wouldn't have either. He loved to learn.
I came home from my first semester at Penn State with pictures of his Mother and Father's hometown printed off the computer and told him I read all about that little town of L'Aquila and his face lit up. " You mean I can type in the name of that city and see all of his ". Yep you can Dad. The spark went off. He was a whiz on computers before you knew it. He studied it, he learned it and he enjoyed it. He wanted to see where his Mother grew up just like I wanted to picture him growing up a few streets over. Worlds away but same intrigue.
I would have went home after work today and he would look at me smirk and say" that's amazing what you can on there ". Yet we take it for granted as a society all of these amazing little things. To an older generation that is golden.
I think he would have loved Twitter, love to follow the people that interested him, Probably give them a piece of his mind once in a while and then say " Hey Lor, that guy responded, didn't like what I said I guess baby ". He would be all over the deals too. Taking the discount world by storm and showing off his rewards or handing them out.
I wish he could have seen all of this , see the world get a little smarter. He loved that because that meant he got smarter. lol.
So Dad I wish you could see my IPAD, but more so I wish I could see you using my IPAD.
When I won it the gentleman said me " that's great because you are young enough to enjoy it ". I know an old timer that would have too.
P.S Thanks for the magic NINI DEE
