television is a brain suck

it really is hazardous to your health and should come with warning labels. that tube will destroy brain cells as bad as that sweet cheeba does. of course the internet may be an even bigger brain suck, but somehow it feels more productive because a computer is smarter than a tv, so thus and therefore i must be smarter than a tv watcher. but have you ever played with facebook? what a time suck! how do kids get anything accomplished when they've got texting and social networking internet sites and all that jazz at their fingertips 24/7? the school day don't end when the last bell rings, you can sit at home and torture each other well into the wee hours of the night. glad i was born too long ago to deal with that crap.
i bought some cool liquor glasses not because i drink much liquor but because they were wicked awesome and half price and so now i'm thinking about taking up drinking liquor neat. scotch? tequila? homemade corn whiskey?

We lived without a television for a long time. It really did free up time for creative projects; but I did eventually succumb to the tube again, and now I'm a junkie just like everyone else. Cable is the worst. Roger Waters was right, only his "thirteen channels of shit on the t.v. to choose from" has increased exponentially, and not for the betterment of anyone. Also, I'm a chronic channel flipper, so talk about a mind suck. Holy Cannoli, pass the whisky already!
