Well, well my dear Reader. Here we are: just you and me. That could be scary, but tonight I feel...tired, so I won't hurt you, at least not too much.
But seriously.
I have come to the realization that I am happy with my decision as to why I have no television in my home. STOP THE PRESS! TURN OFF THE MUSIC! What did she say?! She has NO TELEVISION?! You heard it correctly Reader: I have NO television in my home. When I moved out of the home that my daughter and I shared with the almost-ex-husband, I saw an opportunity to make a final decision to have NO television in my home. I sold the thing to a friend of mine. The box never even made it into my apartment. So for four months, I have had no television.
"So, crazy woman. What made you decide to sell something that makes you normal?"
Well Reader, I came to the realization that my young daughter and I were watching extremely too much television. I was getting angry at all of the stupidity of the people featured on the different shows--well, most shows seemed as though they were all the same. Since I was preparing myself for the life of a single mother, I thought it best that I spend my free time as quality time with my daughter, because she needs me and not some box-thing, and if you have read anything in my blog thus far, you would have read that the un-normal attracts me. It EXCITES me. So then selling the television EXCITED me. I must admit that I got somewhat of a high selling the television. I had a party in my head as I watched the television going away to its new home.
I will admit that there have been a few times that I could have used my own television, but that's only been two times in four months. I still stand FIRM on NOT having a television in my home. If we want to watch a movie, we rent a DVD from an online vendor and use the computer to watch it. How many times has that happened in four months? I think three times. So you see, I really don't have a need for a television.
Besides, I'd rather watch my 30 gallon aquarium.

First off, thanks for stopping by my blog.
Welcome to the blogger world. Nice design(s) btw.
I have to agree with you on the whole TV thing. We'd all be better off without them. Can't say I don't have a TV though -enjoy my films too much (DVDs actually).
Just within the first month of not having a television, I noticed a huge difference with my daughter's attitude and our relationship together. It improved 200%. For the movie-watching: that's part of the reason why I have the computer. We have netflix, we borrow movies, and we have our own DVDs, so we're set.
Thank you for the welcome, and thank you for the compliment on my designs. Gotta love ye ole Paint.
