retroish

I was browsing thru the internet and I came across this site retrojunk.com and I was immediately transported back in a time machine to the 80's, a truly memorable period in my life. Cartoons like Denver the Last Dinosaur, Heathcliff, Transformers, ThunderCats, series and sitcoms like Quantum Leap(my all time fav), 21 Jump Street, Who's The Boss, Knight Rider and so on...I was laughing and smiling while seeing footages that were part of my childhood.

'Time waits for no man' - Aah, so true. If I look back during that time, a lot has changed in my life. Can't imagine how mankind has progressed since two decades ago. Back then we didn't have the proper usage of the internet yet. Mobile phones were on analog configuration and they were huge(The bigger the better!). Cars were in manual transmission. Tennis and friends were the only important things in my life. Girls were considered disgusting(hahaha!). My parents were still looking really young..Ok you both still do (;

These days we've managed to step up and push for the best with new technologies and innovations. Look at our built in camera mobile phones equipped with bluetooth and GPRS. Cameras going digital and able to see the outcome of the shot taken 2 seconds ago. Cars with LCD screen maneuvering during parking. State of the art laptops and PDA's. Wooweee, I say we really sprinted ahead and achieved a lot in 20 years.
Today with information just a click away on the internet, we are spoilt with so many choices. Competition is fierce with so many brands trying their utmost to gain market share for their respective fields. So in today's world, only the strongest will survive and while being the champion, one must definitely strive to maintain and/or improve to stay on top on today's ever demanding needs and wants of the human race.

I like all these new gadgetry, artsy fartsy state of the art tech goods but my style really longs for the retro styled toys. Call me different but I like it that way. Well maybe a blend of both worlds. I can still drive my beloved old skool beemer with the company of this year's Pioneer sound system collection. Yup, and I like wearing my shirts and slacks with my Converse All Stars...I see frowns...I'm just a retro boy.
