I've got better things to do!

TV can be captivating at moments and then completely cheesy and clichéd at others. I don’t watch TV except for Lost, The Office, and sometimes the news. I don’t have cable and I don’t think it would make a difference if I had it, I just don’t have the time. There are so many things to do other than watching TV. I get antsy and feel uncomfortable when I plop down in front of it and realize I could be doing something else, something with at least a little meaning. Improving my knowledge or skills is much more rewarding than sitting there with my mouth open. I tend to have the urge to eat when watching TV, so it’s doubly bad for me. But sometimes I don’t feel like doing anything else and I watch a movie instead because I cant stand those bastard commercial that start out “DO YOU HAVE A JOB?! DO YOU HAVE $149?! THEN YOU’RE PRE-APPROVED AT CARTOWN KIA!” Do the auto dealers find that those obnoxious commercials are good for their business? Some commercials are only slightly irking, but they are all pretty bad, especially those SATANIC McDonald’s commercials. Since when was getting a happy meal better than winning a soccer game?! And since when did showing up late with a happy meal make everything so much better. I wonder how much they pay the kids’ parents to make them smile as they close their mouth around a “chicken” nugget? They obviously haven’t read Fast Food Nation.
