My Dirty Secret
February 13, 2005
I have a secret. It’s not something I’m proud of. But it’s something I must fess up to.
I’ve become addicted to the TV. I know I’m about 20 years behind (if not more). I haven’t had cable for a long time now… mostly because I didn’t really find much of value on the ol’ boob tube in the past. But I signed up for digital cable… and all I can say is DAAAYAM!
Don’t get me wrong… there’s still not a lot of REAL value on the TV. But there’s a lot of cheap, baser fun to be had with hundreds of channels. And don’t get me started on video on demand. I mean… how cool is that? Movies just sitting around waiting to be watched whenever.
Like I said… I know I’m behind. But that doesn’t make it any less exciting for those of us who move slowly toward new things.

Are you addicted to the Internet also?

Hmmm… I’d have to say yes. HAHAHA!

I haven’t had a TV since 1998; it’s amazing how much more reading, relating, and gardening I get done! My only electronic device is my computer. I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to it, but I do spend an average 20 minutes a day checking and responding to email. And when I don’t have to get up early in the morning, I will check into one or both of the blogs I am now following for amusement and/or enlightenment.
Happy Birthday to your Blog

I’ve become a media multitasker. I lay in bed with a book and watch TV. During the commercials I mute the TV and read. Sometimes I turn the TV on and read with the sound muted while I wait for the show I want to watch to come on.
Of course… I usually get so wrapped up in the book that I end up leaving the television muted and totally miss a show.
