Black Sunday

Well, I swore I'd never do it again. Wait in long lines for something, around the holidays. I did it back in 1998 when a store had DVD players for $40. $40 for a DVD player back then was a BIG deal! A good enough deal for me to stand outside for about 40 minutes, freezing my a** off. But......this weekend, I did it...again.

It was a deal I couldn't pass up. For the longest time, I had been trying to get my greasy sausage fingers on a PS4.....but those were pretty hard to come by.....then, both of my sons got an XBOX One......After watching what you could do on an XBOX One, the choice was clear. I want.....nay....NEED an XBOX One. It's brilliant, really. Not only can you play games on it....but, you can also watch your TV, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or whatever else you want....HANDS FREE! No more remotes for this guy. I simply get home, walk down to the living room and say, "Xbox on"....and sure enough, it comes on. (I do have to turn on the TV normally....like a CAVE MAN!) but, from that point on, all I have to say is "Xbox, watch TV"....Then "Xbox, One Guide" and the Direct TV guide comes up. I tell it what channel I want to watch, "Xbox, watch NBC"...or "Xbox, watch SPIKE or NFL Network...." or whatever I want to watch and it's there. NO REMOTE! Just when the wife thought I couldn't be any lazier....well, here I am. In all my lazy glory. Now, if I could only say, "Xbox, make me a sammich" or "Xbox, get me a cold beer"......I'd never leave the house....nay...the chair.
