Am starting a new chapter in my life – and this one is starting off without tv. It has long been a nemesis of mine. TV and I have a love/hate relationship. I love it bc it can entertain me for hours and help me dull out the world. I also love it bc I laugh, I cry, I go through every emotion imagineable, and I learn lots of new things! I hate it bc I could spend many a depressing day doing nothing but watching tv and therefore letting life pass me by. I also hate hearing it when I’m trying to sleep!!!!
So I’m starting this new page, and whatever posts come along in the days to come, to document my liberation from tv. I don’t have a tv right now (but as you can tell I do have internet, so it’s not like I won’t watch anything, just not for hours at a time hopefully!!).
Feel free to comment on what role tv plays in your life (or doesn’t)…
Can you even imagine we grew up with 13″ boxes and now you’re hard pressed to find anything smaller than a 32″ flat screen in stores?! Does that say something about the emphasis we place on televisions?! And seriously, what about the cable/satellite packages?! I’m beginning to think they make more than the big 6 banks in Canada!
Happy living!
