I was sitting here on the old computer (I call mine Suzy, which coincidentally has been the name I've assigned to cars, weapons, or any other type of machinery that I spend a lot of time with) watching an episode of 'Scrubs' on ABC.com when it dawned on me how estranged I am from 'television'. The new shows almost seem like a Saturday Night Live Skit. Like this crap can not be real. But it's real! The shows I used to enjoy before I gave up the television machine I still watch via DVD, or I catch shows online, but there is not an ounce of cable invading my home...not a drop. Why? At first it was because I was studying for my CPA and I didn't like how much time I was spending watching crappy shows...but after the first month cold turkey when I started not to miss it, it became a weird point of difference. Something that I did that no one else seemed to do. Everyone always says things like...'that commercial with the thing, and that guy...hilarious!'. I then say...I have no idea what you are talking about...wanna use the English language to convey your thoughts to me? LOL, but I ain't laughing. I'm not holier than though, I watch YouTube, and I certainly watch the television shows I watched before I left the matrix, but it is nice to be free. Plus I am able to unabashedly make fun of how horrible the premise for certain shows are. So for example, I never watched 'LOST' before so I don't watch it now...not an episode NOT ONE episode. But when I see the advertisement for it I can't help but notice these manicured people being lost on an island, and i mean they have been lost for YEARS! Plus there is an obese dude on that show...how are you lost on an island and obese? How are you lost on an island and you are able to have cute looking hair, untattered clothing...and no one has horrible teeth. The chops would've been discolored by now without fluoride, and regular checkups. Gilligan's island had the same ludicrous premise, but it was okay cause it was a comedy...this show is serious...lol. I understand though...when you are into a show you can forget about these tiny holes in the premise...because it just feels good...it's icing, but no cake...I can dig it. It's fun as heck though being able to see through that crap...now that I've given up television I do notice that I spend an unGodly amount of time on the net. Ahh well six of one, half dozen of the other.
Thanks for your support
