Complexities of Technology

What oh what shall I eat? Is there anything fast and easy. I'm filled with hunger. Tuna? Nah. Macaroni and Cheese? Takes too long. Peanut butter and jelly? Requires effort. Spaghetti O's!!! What more could a guy ask for. The perfect portion. What wonderful creator conjured up this great invention. Microwaveable. Easy. I found my next meal. But wait? Oh no! It is sealed up in a can. How ever shall I reach the wonderful meal inside. Can opener! As I search for a can opener I see there is only one available...AN ELECTRIC CAN OPENER!!! I stared at the machine; It stared back. We locked our gaze on each other knowing what was to come. I took a step forward...and then two steps back. I knew, I just knew, I couldn't give up. So I walked up to it, gripped its handle, and stuck the can under. It was refusing to take the can. I couldn't not force it to take the can. With all my efforts I tried one last time, but to no avail. I couldn't give up that easy, so again we head to battle. I looked under the machine, it grips it, I may have finally won...but no the machine drops the can. I am too hungry. I am getting weak. I have no choice but to retreat. As I walk away eating my tuna sandwich, I grip it tighter and stare back at the machine..." I will come back, you may have won the battle, but I will win this war!"

Life is but a dream...

Last night as I dozed off to sleep, I found myself in a wonderful world of greatness. I sucame to the temptations of a Chipotle burrito. Oh, but the horror was I didn't have enough hot sauce. How was this wonderful creation in front of me going to satisfy my hunger without the hot sauce?!?! I looked everywhere, but the hot sauce was nowhere to be found. As I sat there contemplating my next move I could feel my tongue yearning for this piece of art. I could feel it slide down my t-h-r-o-a-g-h-t into my stomach to satisfy the hunger I had for this burrito (it was not just any burrito but a Chipotle burrito). As i grew weary and sad, I began to wonder if living without the hot sauce was worth it. YES!!! Its a Chipotle burrito for goodness sake. As I went in to take a bite, the wonderful aroma teasing me...And now I lay in my bed no smell, no burrito, only darkness and disappointment.

On the next episode of Life is but a dream...Ryan Seacrest joins the scene.
