A Need for Speed


As far back as I can remember I’ve always wanted things to go faster. I’m the kind of person that will stand in front of the microwave oven and holler “Hurry Up”! Even when I was a little boy I would try to ride my tricycle as fast as I could get it to go. When I graduated to a bicycle I was always trying to do things to it to get it to go a little faster. I did get it to go a little faster but it did cause me a problem when I hit a bump in the road that sent me sailing into a mailbox. That extra speed did cost me 8 stitches and a whole lot of pain. Now when I was 16 and got my driving license, the need to go a little faster was still in my blood and I ended up getting a speeding ticket within the first month. Again this caused me problems like my parents getting very upset (MAD as HE##) and also the pain of having to spend my money to pay for the ticket. I did learn my lesson well with that episode in my life and I haven’t gotten another ticket since. (Knock on Wood)!

With all that being said I still have a desire for things to be fast. Maybe not as much for things you ride on, but for other things like my cell phone. I am a very techie type guy and I want my electronic devices to do things fast. I have to say that the desire for a very fast cell phone was satisfied last week when I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy 2 from U.S. Cellular. This phone is extremely fast with a dual processor it will run a 3800 + quadrant score right out of the box. Now comparing this to the Samsung Galaxy Mesmerize I had (which I thought was fast), it would only do around 900 quadrants out of the box. That’s over 4 times faster “WOW”! Also I have to include that the Samsung Galaxy 2 is not only very fast, but it is also very smooth. Everything I’ve done on it so far, it has done it quick and smooth without the lag that I sometimes experienced with the Mesmerize.

Ok there you have it! I’ve had some good and bad experiences in my life trying to satisfy my “Need for Speed”, but thanks to Samsung Galaxy 2 and U.S. Cellular, my desire for a super fast cell phone has been satisfied “For Now”!

Man…..I wish the microwave oven would hurry up! “I’m Hungry”!!!!!!
