Happy yet not so

  At first, when my mother agreed to buy me a new monitor, I was jumping for joy...
  It all began when my 5-year old monitor began to blank itself out after I switched on my computer for awhile. I tried restarting the monitor by pressing the monitor switch button twice - first to switch off and second to switch on, everything was well for a few seconds before it turned blank again. I tried blowing the monitor, thinking it was because my monitor was overheated. I even tried wiping the plugs connecting to the monitor, thinking it was because the contact was ''sabotaged'' by the dust.
  Soon, violence got into me, I slammed the back of the monitor, well, in most cases, my slamming always fixed technical problems, but not for this case though. After a while, I switched on my computer, it miraculously worked! But it did not last long. The second time I switched on my computer, the same thing happened. It continued like an endless cycle but soon it was put to a stop when my parents noticed the problem and had the intention of rectifying the problem. The solution? Well, of course that was to buy a new monitor for me, with one, all problems will be solved and there would be no more of me slamming the monitor; that was simply great.
  So, my monitor was replaced. It was no doubt a joyous thing for me. Then, I realized it was the monitor was wider than my previous, much wider. You might be thinking, isn't a wider screen better? Well, frankly speaking, I prefer smaller screens as that would mean smaller resolutions, bigger pictures,  but pixels are less focused. Although it is possible to change the resolution, to cover the whole screen, the pictures formed by the pixels will be stretched, making it less focused- looks ugly.
  Therefore, the new gift I had, did not really appeased me. Looking at the bright side, at least I do not have to continue slamming my monitor, blowing my monitor as if I am someone with mental illness blowing a monitor, and also do not have to go the tedious alternative of switching off my computer to wipe the plugs connecting to my monitor. In conclusion, I feel that the advantages of having a new monitor overshadow the disadvantages. I guess optimism is really powerful, if not for it, I would have been drowned in grumpiness by the human conqueror, Greed. Besides I am also contented that my parents had decided to do something about the problem with the monitor. Finally, I like to thank my parents for purchasing a new product for me - I hereby express my gratitude. Thank you!
