I once read a book where the author was talking about how he went out and bought a tv because he heard a speaker say that it rots your mind- stuff like that, and he thought it sounded like bliss, because he wouldn't have to think about anything while he watched it-good for relaxation. I think that is hilarious. I wish I could do the same : ) . My problem with T.V. is that if there's anyone else around, I'll usually talk to them the entire time a show is on, it's just there for background noise, I think. The other problem is that if I'm seriously watching TV- and not talking during it, I'm always analyzing things about it. I can't sit through any type of show without analyzing something in it. And then there are times when I have entire conversations with God while watching TV. I know that has to sound kinda odd, but I talk to him about the stuff that's on, and tell him what idiots we humans can be without even realizing it most of the time. And about all the stuff that happens, what I think about it, and ask him what he thinks about it, and watch how self-consumed we all are. T.V. is more of a learning tool than we realize (in moderation- I don't think I could take too much of it)
So to all in Northern Ireland- I started back at the restaraunt I work at today. It was fun, nice to see everyone there again. They say I've got an accent, although I deny it and they tried to coax me into saying "Where's me lucky charms?" I refused- to their disappointment. See how exciting Decatur Illinois is? : ) Actually, it also snowed today, but none of it really stuck and by about noon or so it had stopped. It really doesn't feel colder over here, but it also isn't nearly as windy as it is in Belfast. I hope you all are doing well. I guess that's all for today. Cya
