I am a dumber individual than I was last night before 7:00.
You see I turned on my television.
It sucked me in.
Mind numbing "entertainment" ensued.
I felt like I needed to take a bath after watching all the media that silver box spewed out at me. Bath, shower, whichever. I figure the next step after my trip into a decidedly feminine post-wedding depression state is taking bubble baths with a loofah sponge while singing the theme to "The Sound of Music" or something (see the "Observations" post for more details. Cause you know you want to find out more).
Anyway I think it was kind of a good eye opener. I went from watching "Who Wants to Be a Hilton", a reality TV show that gives selfish, money grubbing 20 & 30 year olds the chance to become part of the materialistic Hilton family saga - or whatever, to watching a documentary on the struggles children are experiencing in India which include: child prostitution, starvation, disease and suicide. A lot of contrast.
Here's the deal with TV. It will suck you in. I guarantee you'll find something that's somewhat interesting. But is it really something that you needed to see? Is it really something you need to know? No. You know why, if you watch television you become dumber. I can't prove it medically or scientifically but I guarantee you're a stupider person for it.
Stupider, is that a word? Wow...I just proved my theory. I would have never said that yesterday.

out of boredom, and because i only get about 3 channels in my room at the swansons, i've been watching the catholic channel, that is mind numbing, well actually it's all really interesting, just presented in a very...catholic manner :)
The Catholic channel huh? You are bored.
Not the Lufah!!
Unfortunately yes. And I'd probably need to use some moisturizing cream as well.
