Where am I at? Week 3 without my direct TV? I can’t remember. It’s wierd looking at my lonly TV…nice one too, Flat Screen HD and all that jazz. Pretty nice size…just sitting there staring at me with no heart and soul…just there. I think it’s staring at me like, “Ok, what is my purpose NOW?” Poor thing.
What I noticed the first few weeks is that I felt like I had more time and I felt less bogged down by negativity. Too much exposure to the news can really grate on you. That I don’t miss…at all. And your friends, family and the internet will keep you updated on what’s going on in the world anyway.
After the first few weeks though, I started to replace the TV with my computer and BlackBerry. I started working way too much AND spending too much time just surfing the internet. I went from one time waister to another!
So, now I’m monitoring how much time I spend on my computer and my blackberry. You can spend HOURS on the internet, facebook, texting people. It’s crazy!
Lesson to learn here from my little experiment: Life is short people! Get out and ride a bike, walk the dog, spend time with friends. Because, I will tell you what….your TV, your computer and your BlackBerry will not come to your rescue in a time of need. They will not listen when you just need a friend and they certainly will not bring you the kind of joy that your loved ones can bring to you and you can bring to them in return.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog….but after you are done here, why not call a friend and just say “HI”.
