No remote, no TV....
Hi Julie.... :)

Julie, actually, I kind of know what you mean (I think).... I don't really need the remote control.... There's often not much good on anyway.... :) I do have some friends who purposely don't have a TV. They just don't want a TV in their lives.... It is mostly a big waste of time.... There was a period of around 6 months when I purposefully lived without a TV. I wanted to see what it was like.... It was okay, although I did feel detached from the world since I didn't really know what was going on with the country and the world -- though if I wanted to I could have listened to the news on the radio, or bought a newspaper.... In many ways, though, not having a TV was very peaceful.... But.... yeah, there are very few shows I watch on TV regularly. I don't have cable TV right now, but I do travel to visit my parents regularly (they live in another city) and they do have cable. When I visit, I enjoy watching the Discovery channel, the National Geographic channel, and the Travel shows.... That's the main good thing about TV, I think, the occasional groovy documentaries.... :) I figure at least you're learning something.... :) > Mostly it drives me nuts when my family > members would have no CLUE what was on, but > just lie there on the couch for hours on > end, flipping channels to find yet another > TV movie to waste a couple hours on. Who has > that kind of time to invest? I agree with you Julie.... I can say I've been guilty of this, but I don't feel very satisfied afterwards..... Mostly this is with cable.... I sit there, flipping through the channels, hoping something is good on.... Before you know it half an hour is gone and I still haven't found anything I'm interested in.... That's when I get up and surf the web! :) Dien Rice Recovering Channel Flipper (keep the remote away!) :) |
