Well, it is finally 2008!  New technology is constantly evolving every time I blink.

Did you know that you can RENT movies off of iTunes now? But seriously... Do you REALLY want to watch a movie on your laptop or your ipod or your iPHONE? Lets get real here!  Why not just stick with the regular DVD or VHS?  As if it was that hard to go to the video store and rent it, right?  What is happening to the United States?  Why have we become so lazy that we have to create new technology that erradicates the idea of us leaving our house?  Take the iphone for example.  We' ve all seen it and some of us probably own it or covet it.  Yeah, its a pretty hot item on the market right now.  But has apple totally gone off the charts?  Are we that lazy that we have to use a touch screen.  Now, for those of you reading this who DO have these items, i' m sure you think I have gone mad and need to get with it.  But honestly, I AM with it. 

Whats next...iLife?  iBotox?  iLipo?

What else is up and rising for ' 08?  Living, breathing, being ORGANIC.  People have meditated, practiced yoga, and lived completely organic lives for years and only now, in the 21st century, has it become popular.  I guess people are getting tired of consuming fast foods?

Every year, I find many things to stress and gripe about.  2008' s forecast: Stormy.  Economy is going down.  Bush is sending out tax refunds by may.  We get to spend it on useless cr@p and new technology in hopes of it helping the economy.  In the end, does it work out for everyone?  Are we all "happy"?
