Adios Cable!
For the past few months I have been spending way too much time and money on Amazon buying DVD’s. I told myself that I was going to turn my cable off soon and I was going to need something to entertain me in the mean time. In theory, this logic made sense, but it never worked out in actuality. So this morning as I was doing my usual lap around Lake Merritt, I decided that the time had come and I needed to stop playing games. So, ladies and gentlemen, in exactly one week, I will no longer have cable. I know myself and have come to the conclusion that telling myself I’m not going to watch TV doesn’t work. As my 04 will be quick to bust me out and note that my plan to only watch one hour of tv a day, hasn’t worked since I was 8 years old, and even then I would sneak and watch TV from the hallway. So yes, I have to resort to drastic measures and make it happen. This is a big step for me because I have been spending an embarrassing amount of time in front of the television and now I know that I will have to put this new found free time to good use and actually get some work done. I wonder if I will still be surprised by deadlines and caught off guard by the numbers on the calendar? I wonder if I will be actually complete numbers one through five on my long list of things to do. I wonder if my apartment will actually stay clean and if I will actually read some of the books that are collecting dust on my bookshelf. I’m excited and a bit nervous about this because I know how I get when I go into writers mode. When I am so focused on my projects that days will go by without me communicating with people, and not even really think anything of it. Whatever the case, this is going to be fun. Interesting if nothing else. One good thing is that it will cause me to spend more time outside. Especially now that the weather is nice. Wait a minute, is this excitement I feel? I’ll definitely keep you posted and hopefully my blogs will begin to get a lot more interesting! LOL!
Peace y’all
