Television
I have always thought it strange that people watch so much television. Television is supposed to be a reflection of our society... it's a window into the humorous situations or interesting ideas in our daily lives. However, if that were true... most television shows would be about people sitting around after school/work and watching television. There isn't enough humorous material in my everyday life to base a show on. Mostly, I study and I watch television.
So, I can't help but ask myself do I watch so much television because I don't have an exciting life or do I not think I have an exciting life because I watch so much television? How could my life possibly compare? Luckily, I don't have to worry about it. No one is watching me right now, which is a good thing, my ratings would be terrible.
Could I really make an interesting show about my day so far? Let's see, I made oatmeal for breakfast, I gave a presentation in one of my classes, I searched through my purse to try and find a dollar for a diet coke (and failed), and I just wrote in a bug-fix for some code I was supposed to finish over spring break (but didn't). Hrmmm... it's lookin' pretty dry... definitely missing an annoying, but funny, neighbor, to add narration and insight... or an alien who likes to eat cats which can also create wild wacky hi-jinx.
Ho hum.... wonder what's on right now?
