Day four: Friends of change
Day Four, August 16th.
Friends of change
It seems I have started a mini movement. Four friends are on board with my “No TV for One Year” adventure. Its odd how some people completely ignore me when I tell them about it and some want to join up. A healthier life can be had with action.
I know some people who wake up to tv and fall asleep with it on. Even my parent's dog can not sleep without the tv being on. I am not kidding. If the tv goes off the dog nuts out. Brother, even the dog is addicted. Not watching television forces you to be proactive about your life. You can’t simply lay on the couch wondering why you are not happy. You are not happy because you are stagnant, laying on the couch. Happiness takes action, living life takes work. You can either remain on the couch and watch life pass by or get out there and create one.
Once in awhile it will hit me that I am missing a show. I know what shows are on when. I wonder when I will stop wondering what I am missing.
I wonder when I will lose that connection to my friends who are obsessed with television and call to talk about the latest fat celebrity to tip the scale on whatever reality show. I wonder if Mel is meeting with a Rabbi right now? Are Jennifer and Vince getting married? Are they moving to a suburb in Chi-town? Will it be near my hometown in Illinois?
How long before Bradgelina break apart?
These are questions I am willing to leave un-answered in pursuit of my own life.
Today:
1. Made breakfast for musician friend staying at house.
2. worked
3. Freaked out about foot and went to see Dr. who said I’ll be ok
4. Talked to a friend on the phone for an hour, something I never do because of television shows. Had fun!!
5. Showed friend some music.
6. researched why teleivision is bad.
7. listened to music.
