Gizmos For Young Men

By Donny Donatelli

As a kid, I remember collecting pails of Lego just to be build replications of my favorite vehicles, buildings, animals and appliances I see at home. It is funny due to the fact right after I successfully build the replicas I want out of Lego, I have to take it apart so that I could build more out of the building blocks. I didn't have much Lego back then so I didn't really have any a choice but to take them down.


I continued playing with it until I was 15 years old. I was such a late bloomer with the latest games that time such as the SuperNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). I only knew about the Lego and Family Computer because those were the toys that were made available to us as children. So our playmates would come over to our house and play with our Lego or play a Mario Brothers game in our handy family computer game console from Japan.


As I grew up, I still wasn't able to enjoy other toys that the other well off kids were getting to enjoy that time such as scooters, in-line skates, skateboards and trampoline. But I had something that most of the kids in the neighborhood don't have and they often came over to our house just to pick me up to play. Of course, bringing my BMX along with me was the highlight. When we all get to the park, each one takes turn to ride on my bike and in return, they offered me their in-line skates, skateboards and other imported toys that their parents had bought for them just to get a turn to riding my bike. I did enjoy their toys for a short period of time but of course, I was still a kid who wanted all the toys in the world.


That's why right now that I am 28 years old, I will say that I am getting to enjoy practically each one of the latest gizmos that electronics manufacturers tend to be coming up with regularly to satiate the insatiable thirst of gadget freaks like me. The time when the Xbox 360 arrived, I was one of the persons within our neighborhood that got one and I am just proud to say that it took quite a while for the next person to get one like mine.


Then when the Ipod Touch arrived, I also grabbed one for myself. Same thing happened when the Iphone, Iphone 3g and also the Iphone 3gS became available, I was one of the first people to have one. I also possess the most excellent laptop I know I could afford that I use for gaming, for editing photographs and videos, a printer to print out all my work, a magnificent DSLR camera that makes me take professional snap shots that could give Nigel Barker a run for his funds. All these and I am still upgrading each and every stuff that I find in the market that suits my taste.


You notice it's hardly ever too late to appreciate the things that we weren't in a position to enjoy as youngsters provided that we work hard for it. I believe that hard-earned funds are money well-spent.
