I love techno-gee
kie toys. These days it seems that technology is a part of every moment of your life. From the alarm clock that wakes you up in the morning to the microwave that heats up your dinner, we are encased in a life full of electronic products. They make modern life possible. When I am not playing with or reading about the latest and greatest tech toys, I work at Best Buy. The company is a fun place to work and I experience its commitment to its values and philosophi es. I do my best to live them everyday. I take great pride in working for a company that values innovation , ingenuity and supports its employees in a manner that allows them to unleash their unique talents and abilities.

I love Lucy. As a kid I grew-up watching re-runs of the television classic. I Love Lucy starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance and William Frawley. The black-and-white show originally aired on American television from 1951 to 1957. The show explored the events of its character’s lives and blended slap-stick comedy with musical interludes.
In my younger years, I watched I Love Lucy in syndication and on my VHS tapes. The comic timing was executed with perfection. The show also helped the new fledgling medium of television develop some of today’s common industry practices such as using three cameras to film and performing in front of a live audience. The show was produced by Desilu which went on to produce Star Trek, another of my favorite television shows.
Lucy’s character had dreams of being a performer; no matter what others said, she always worked toward that goal. From watching this, I learned that passion cannot be quenched. I harness my passion to help it drive my motivation, ambition and fulfill my potential. The main characters always had witty remarks and jokes evenly paced. As I watched this I incorporated the application of humor and jokes into my everyday life. It worked for Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred, so why not me? While I’m not going to be found doing stand-up comedy, I’m learned to interweave humor into the execution of my personality and bring laughter to friends, family and acquaintances.
The episode entitled “The Audition” is my favorite. It was a re-working of the original pilot. In it Lucy does a seal routine – it is hilarious. I also love the other classics such as Lucy’s Italian adventure that results in her stomping grapes; her lunch at the Brown Derby with William Holden staring at her; and the Vitameatavegamin episode.
Happy birthday Lucille Ball. You created a television classic and your comic escapades still bring joy and laughter.
