Destroy your TV!!!!!!

I have been living without cable television since October 2009. It's not difficult and I don't miss it. If there is something I want to watch (The Rachel Maddow Show!!!), I watch it on the Internet. It saves me money and it also saves my mind from being exposed to advertisements and brain cell loss.

I have no idea what movies are currently in theaters. I don't know what kinds of deals I can get on a new car. I don't know what god awful sitcoms are when I get home from work. What I do know is that I have more time to write, sit outside, read and socialize. My life doesn't revolve around the next Grey's Anatomy episode or Dancing with the Stars. And yes, I prefer it that way.

I read actual newspapers for my news. Therefore, I get more well-rounded information instead of 30 second clips of crap.

I do have a TV in my apartment and I do use it. I enjoy watching certain types of movies and documentaries. I also own the first 3 seasons of Paranormal State and Eric has season 1 and 2 of The Office. What I don't have is 900 channels of garbage.

When I was writing for my college newspaper, my mother told me that my writing sounded whiny and snotty. Sure, I think I'm better than everyone else, but as a friend of mine I think that is to your advantage! (Ha!) So here's my snotty whiny advice to you. I'm requesting that all of you stop watching cable television. It's not good for you and it's made my life more enjoyable. I guarantee it will do the same to yours.
