TV
In my last post I talked about what I do with my television. There were many years I didn't watch much of that at all. There are various reasons.
One being that for a time fiction frustrated me. I would always find myself talking to the screen, saying things like, "Real people wouldn't act like that." Perhaps they wouldn't. Though, I have come to accept that it's alright.
I still can't sit through an episode of Three's Company. There is just something about the situations they get into which irks me. It just seems that after knowing one another for so long they could easily avoid many of those conflicts, however humorous they might be. It could be it just all appears too very much like overkill after a while.
Rest in peace John Ritter. I always wanted to like your show.
Another reason was poetry. I started focusing on poetry, and what I thought were my own glorious thoughts after certain things happened in my life. Nowadays, I am just as proud of if not more so of the things I write. Why do we always convince ourselves we aren't doing anything unless it's a draining obsession?
I'm attempting to enjoy life more. I don't want to have to feel drained to feel accomplished.
