TV

i'm so sick of people saying television is bad for you. i think it's a beautiful form of media, it's easily abused but if we can make decisions to listen to whatever kind of music we want... the same goes for what television shows we watch. 

i don't watch survivor or american idol.  i don't watch Rock of Love or whatever the other dating show with flava flav is called.  obviously, that isn't a rich form of entertainment.  but i can't shut off television completely.  with the ability to have a weekly series, we're open to real character development and we're open to watching characters grow.  it's also important to see the bigger fucking picture!

get passed the obvious and look deeper into the themes of television shows.  how can i apply them to my real life and how to i relate?  why do we watch what we watch?  you end up learning quite a bit about yourself in the process.  it's just like books.  the little prince is NOT about a little dude who hops from planet to planet.  just like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz are not what them seem.  they are huge allegories for the BIGGER FUCKING PICTURE in life.

don't be such a noob.
