IF I HAD ONE WISH…

THE FOLLOWING BLOG POST IS RATED “G” FOR GADGET-GEEKS: It is recommended for Technophiles, Gadget Junkies and those savvy with the latest gizmos and whatchamacallits. Non-tekkies may not appreciate the true value of this blog post without Parental Supervision.

Okay – so I took Lil Man to see the movie “Shorts” today (AKA “Adventures Of the Wishing Rock”), in which the premise was of a small American town’s inhabitants letting loose their wildest desires when they happen upon a rainbow-coloured rock (“big stone” to Trinis lol) that grants the holder unlimited wishes, and that premise got me thinking: What would I ask for if I was going to be granted One Wish?

Hmmmm…

Put an end to World Hunger? Steups! I’m sure there’s a scientist who’s THIS close to cracking that one somewhere…

World Peace? Dang.. well what would all those out of work soldiers and terrorists do then?

Besides, why ponder such heavy issues when there’s SO MUCH COOL STUFF out there to be had by tech-heads like me, right?

Let’s see… very high on the list would be the awesome Black Berry Tour 9630.

Blackberry Tou 9630

Touted as Blackberry’s most feature-filled phone yet, it combines the best features of two previous models (Bold & Curve) which I already loved wayy more than my current Pearl 8100. The thing has world-roaming capabilities, Bluetooth, GPS, a highly-rated full QWERTY keyboard AND a 3.2-megapixel camera, backed up by an awesomely sharp 480 x 360 pixel display all housed in a sleek new design and the only down side is that lacks Wi-Fi capablities. (Thankfully I don’t surf wi-fi on my phone – that’s what the Batcomputer is for lol).

Another strong contender would be the 2nd Generation iPod Touch.

Note that I said iPOD and NOT iPHONE. I’m very happy being a Berry man when it comes to phone/messaging capabilities, but I do enjoy the listening/fun factor of my current iPod Classic 30GB, so why not upgrade to the classy 32GB iPod Touch? In addition to music and movies, there’s TONS of amazing games and other crazy apps that do everything from make music to help you excercise. Haven’t seen one that grants wishes like the rock in the movie though… hmm – Apple – is there “an app for that” too? lol

Hmm – maybe I should get some uber-cool Louis Vuitton leather cases for the iPod and the Blackberry while I’m at it too?

Hmm – and maybe I should get the iPod blinged out with some Swarovski Crystals too? That’s the IN thing for the rich and fabulous nowadays isn’t it?

Okkkk – maybe NOT! lol

I know!!! I could get some really funky wheels – like the 2009 Hummer H3X!

Not only is a rugged machine on the outside when it comes to tearing up the road (with a 3.7 liter inline five cylinder engine that puts out 242 horsepower and cranks 242 pounds-per-foot of torque), but it’s also steeped in luxury throughout (keyless doors, plush leather interiors with embroidered headrests, 6-disc cd-changer, standard XM satellite radio, etc).

AND to top it off for true gadget-lovers like me, it’s gizmo-friendly for your pleasure, with features like a Universal Remote (activate all its features at the touch of a button), Bluetooth connectivity (allowing my BlackBerry Tour to pair with it) and 3 strategically-placed 12-volt outlets throughout the interior (so I can plug in my Macbook Pro and charge the I-Touch and the Blackberry Tour lol).

Can you say NEW Vybe-Mobile? lol

Ahhh well… in the end it’s probably best I can’t wish for any of the above right this econd, because then I’d have to go hunting for a new Batcave (aka Home) thats worthy of housing all of the above… hmm sounds like I’d need something like a Wayne Mansion than a Batcave, right?

Ok then… back to work I go. Gotta go grind out some tunes in the studio to pay for all this stuff and the new crib!

Mista Vybe inna yuh Dancehall again.. OUTTTTT!!!
