Rantings Diversified

I have mentioned in a few previous posts that I have one of the coolest neighbors around.  Today at about 1600 my neighbor Jody called me and told to meet him, in ten minutes, on his porch, the one on the woods side of the house not the one by the kitchen, and he also asked me to measure the width of my TV stand kinda’ furniture cabinet thing that my TV sits on.  Jody has asked some odd requests in the past but they always end up being for a good reason so I complied.
This mug just gave me a 32 inch color TV!  Hence the name of this post, Holy Shit, Batman!
I had to help carry it over from his porch.  Which I did.
A bit of background is in order first.  You see, I have never bought a TV in my life.  Ever!  Until 1996 when I bought the 25 inch Toshiba color TV I used up until this afternoon.  Before this I have always had a 13 inch TV that was a hand-me-down.  The first color TV I ever owned was a 13 inch Toshiba my X-wife brought with her into our marriage.  It even had a remote control.  After I had moved out she gave it to me because she bought some kind of big-ass TV.  I used this for four or five years until the day in 1996 that I got a wild hair up my butt and bought what I always considered a big-ass TV, my 25 inch Toshiba.
Now know that my friends all have laughed at me because they all have 40 inch or 52 inch TVs and high definition and cable channels and surround sound and they just can’t understand how I watched my 25 inch TV with rabbit ears.  The Whacko has some kinda’ 60 inch monster sized flat screen TV hanging on her wall.  TV’s have never been a big deal to me.
For two weeks after getting my 25 inch TV I felt like I was in a movie theatre every time I turned it on.
Well let me say that old feeling is back again.   Geez!  I have a 32 inch TV sitting in my living room.  It’s like a flippin’ movie theatre in here!
I’m gonna’ watch two movies tonight and I can’t wait to see the race tomorrow.
Hehehehehehe!  I’m like a little kid with a new toy.
