Creative Memories

In the history of man and womankind, there has never been a concept that has shown the differences between the species more than today’s Creative Memories.

If you want to see the essential distinctions between Men and Women, let’s talk cropping the baby pictures. For many women, keeping a multi-media representation of the kids has reached massive proportions.

For men, we have to spend an hour sifting through our wallets just to find a picture of our children, who are probably now double the age of when that photo was taken.

And all of a sudden women are the techno-geeks. You girls are talking autofocus lenses, spacial composition, 48 bit scanners.

And while you’re busy with all that, us guys are left alone exploring the refrigerator for the first time, trying to figure out where you keep our Cheeze Wiz and Rootbeer.

The Creative Memories phenomenon is actually the perfect representation of our society today, the merging of commerce, technology and the human spirit, all on an acid free, lignin free, fade resistant page of a 4 year old running around the house naked.

I guess, next they will have to have a Creative Memories Academy of Awards where women compete for the honor of winning “Best Performance Using Double Sided Tape.”

Us men, meanwhile, we’ll be watching sportscenter and drinking a rootbeer,.. if I can find it.
