Cool HD Advice?
My car only has a cassette player, my truck has a big,gas guzzling hope-the-tree-huggers-find-it-offensive- V8 motor! My home stereo includes (among other old school things) a turntable & reel-to-reel,my house is furnished in 50s & 60s kitsch, my kitchen phone has a (OMG!)ROTARY DIAL, and both of my FL bikes have (GASP!) 16" FRONT WHEELS!! HEAVEN FORBID!!
I don't text, and I despise Smart phones with a passion! I have no chrome covers on my bikes,no Willie G skulls,no "Live to Ride"crap, and no Big Radius pipes, no apes, and GOD FORBID no Heritage bars on my RKC. I will NEVER have a 21" front wheel on an FL front end,never "stretch" anything on my bikes,will never cover a functional part with a chrome cover,never own a StreetGlide or RoadGlide or ANY fairing bike for that matter, and absolutely never EVER own a bike in a denim color. And CHOLOS!!!?? Yea;RIGHT!!! To me heavy metal is Led Zeppelin, Country is Merle Haggard,and jazz ain't Kenny G. Rap is something you do on the front door,. or the steering wheel in traffic. I don't like any TV shows in the last 20 years, and I think 'The Honeymooners" & "All In The Family" are the funniest shows on the air. I hate anything "green", especially Smart Cars & Priuses, and I wish they'ld outlaw SUVs. I think kids should be named Mary & Sue & Becky & Steve & Joe & John, not Dylan,Cody,Madison,Britney,and (cheese & rice!) Nevaeh. In God I Trust,The American Flag should be flown over all others,I shouldn't have to "press 1 for English", and Harley should NOT have a "Taiwan 100th anniversary" paint scheme. I don't do DVRs,DVDs,MP3s,SUVs,MREs,LLCs,HOVs,GEDs,GPSs,IPODs ,Kindles,Notebooks,or any of that makes-you-dependant-on-it crap. If I can't read a map, I shouldn't be behind the wheel (or bars,) listening to some stupid disembodied voice come out of a little box telling me how to go 10 miles out of my way to go 5 blocks. And, **** on a Kindle! I wanna feel a book & smell the paper & ink. I wanna hear music come out of my big oversized powered-by-Marantz-and-Onkyo Cerwin-Vegas, not a pair of wimpy-*** ear buds. And--if someone with one of those douchebaggy lookin' Bluetooth earpieces says something to me in public--I shake my head, point to my ear, and make a sound like Marlee Matlin.. If Mr. Self-important "gotta-have-the-latest-trendy-***-electronic-piece-of-crap" douchepipe wants to talk to me, he can take the friggin' thing outta his ear first. AND LOSE THE FRIGGIN EVIAN BOTTLE there,Brianna!
Point is--I never was, ain't,and never will do what is considered "trendy" I march to the beat of my own drummer. I don't give a crud if people think I am not "with it". And at least I can look at myself in the mirror & say--"there goes one unhip dude"! And be proud to be an oddball in a world of lemmings.
There. Now I feel better! Nothing like a nice crap & a good rant to make the day!
I embrace the technology that makes my life easier, more efficient or more enjoyable. I used to have a large vinyl collection. I prefer a music server now. Hell, I even recently sold my SET, transformer coupled tube amp. I like my discreet class A solid state amp. What's the point? I like them. Oh yeah, I like my smartphone too. I'm typing this post right now on it.
