Which in one way can be seen as very true and in another as an utter falsity.
Like the inner voice in your head screams that isn’t even close to anything truthful as the words leave your lips.
So true I own a television and I watch movies on the television but is that really watching television or is it more to the point watching a movie on television … semantics perhaps but I choose to hold that I don’t watch TV and shouldn’t eat pizza.
In fact I have six televisions.
One is attached to the overly prices cable box I rent every month by the appropriately named company for raping my wallet.
Two is attached to my son’s xbox 360 which is all that TV is used for is gaming.
Three is sitting in the house and may be a dead TV but I can’t really afford to have it checked by a TV doctor so it is in limbo
Four is in my son’s room he watches it when he isn’t playing x box and I’m playing the PS3 on the TV in the room for the living which is really for the sitting and the watching but is named for the living
Five and Six are little portable ones that has a VCR built in that I do some times use to watch tape as I no longer have a functional VCR it is also in the limbo pile of electronics which are in deed most likely dead but may still be alive if the dr. Frankenstein of mostly dead electronics can revive them … oddly I think it may be lighting that has killed one if not both of these.
The point however is not that I have all those TV but if I do in fact actually watch TV. Which I don’t but my logic
By that logic I should just stop buying / renting the cable and I would but my son does watch TV and I do at times watch stuff
I don’t like the idea of being tied to a show … you have to see it on Monday or what ever day. Even if you Tivo or DVR it you can’t talk about what ever show it is you watch unless you are talking about the following day that it aired
Hmmm… no
I like movies.
Which have a very specific talking frame only when they are new … if you rent it you can’t talk about it because someone will say yeah I saw that when it was new back like 18 months ago. Or I saw the first version and not the crappy rip off that this version is by comparison.
I should have gone to film school.
I like movies
I hate movies that lots of people like, I like movies that lots of people hate, I watch movies I’m not sure I like to the end. Only one has made me wish I had not done this.
I’ve seen a lot of movies … seriously a lot of movies. No where near as many as some.
But is my liking movies a fear of commitment or is that just to deep a view for this particular topic.
I'm not really phobic about the commitment to a TV show but I tend to make plans without asking the TV shows if it's ok or others make plans on the days that shows are indeed on and I’ll do that other thing and the TV show is there alone without me
Related to that I just can't see getting involved with a DVR at this stage in my life but maybe soon but not so much for me but for the shows you know as respect to the commitment … I’ll have to think about it because you can’t really talk about the shows you watch on DVR it’s like having a dirty little secret… well not that the secret needs to be dirty. They are just better secrets when they are and generally more fun.
In other news…
I was going to write something else today, yesterday, the day before and the week and some of not writing that has preceded this post… but I didn’t
Stood up … again.
Was Lucy really about hallucinogens or not
That’s all for now other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
