Never Grow Up

My cute little and adorable kids love cartoons, and, why not admit it, so do I, and I’m no kid. We like spending our evenings in front of the TV, or laptop, and watching some new cartoons. They’re more into “The PowerPuff Girls”, while I’m more into “Dexter’s Laboratory”, so we tend to argue a little, but we eventually come to an agreement.

I have tried to share with them my all-time passion for Disney cartoons, but after a few attempts I had to give it up. They fancy watching Cartoon Network more than watching Sleeping Beauty, so they convinced me to watch TV with them, even if I’m still in love with my classic Disney cartoons. 

They like watching cartoons so much that they asked me to get them something so they could watch their favorite episodes while going on trips, or on brakes at school. While I was against this at first, their sad faces got to me and I promised them I’d find something good. I decided to get them an mp3 player with video capabilities, and I had a lot of options.

I have come across the sansa view 8gb , which seems just perfect. Any child could easily use it, so I bought two, one for each girl, so that they wouldn’t fight on them. I loaded them up with their favorite cartoons, wrapped them, and made a beautiful surprise to my kids. Their happy dance when they opened the boxes and saw their new players was worth seeing!

They were so excited they took their new players with them everywhere. I also showed them how to load cartoons and music on their new players. Now I’m free to watch my Disney cartoons whenever I want, and I even uploaded some “Tom and Jerry” for them to watch. They seem to like them so far!

Buying a New Mp3 Player

Some people are addicted to gambling, or drinking. I am addicted to music. My most important thing is my mp3 player, and I never leave home without it. Not even when going jogging, or to the market. I feel like something’s missing if I don’t have it with me. Even though it’s gotten quite old, I don’t feel the need for a newer one.

Things don’t always go according to plan, however, and my plan of not changing it flew out the window, at the supermarket. Or should I say, flew out of my pocket, like my mp3 player did when the headphone cable got caught in something.

Seeing it hit the ground and break into a thousand pieces made me think of only one thing: I was not going to leave this place until I buy another mp3 player. I went to the electronics isle and started looking for one that seemed suitable. The big mp3 players with large screens did look good, but I didn’t know if I had room for them in my pocket. I was not sure what to get, at all.

The zen v plus 2 gb that was on sale looked interesting and my wallet liked it too. Things on sale are usually good, or at least that’s what I think. When I heard from the lady at the cash register how quickly they’ve been selling, I was even more happy with my purchase. I liked its color and overall looks, and the visual improvement over my old mp3 player was obvious.

My decision seems even better now, after some time has passed and I’ve become more used to the player. It has so many things that my previous player didn’t have, that I wonder how I’ve lived without them for so long. The sound quality is also far superior to my older player, and I can’t even begin to compare them, when it comes to design. Another one of my great choices!
