No Media = Better living

For the past ohhhhhh ... five years or so, I pretty much quit watching TV. I didn't do it on purpose, it wasn't planned, I just found other things to do. Maybe the internet took over, I don't know. All I know is that ever since I quit watching the boob tube, My life has slowly changed to viewing things a bit different than the rest of the world.

Now I admit, I use the internet. I love the internet. If the internet had a vagina I would ... well, you know! But I don't surf for porn, nor do I play online games, nor do I update 'My Space' or Facebook accounts (stupidest thing on earth). I spend a butt load of time trying to figure out shit, or learning how stuff works. It's the internet that help Me realize the history of religion, and that it's all bunk. It's the internet that I learned how to install in a wood stove. It's the internet that teaches Me about the Universe. It's the internet that showed Me how to adjust the clutch on My 4 wheeler. It's the internet that taught Me how to fix My 60 year old tractor. It's the internet that shows why Jesus didn't live with dinosaurs!!

It's research on life I guess. And I spend a lot of time looking at scientific backed sites. Even You Tube has sites that are created by real scientist, with real degrees, from real universities, all over the world. These are intelligent, rational, people who have spent a huge amount of their life devoted to figuring shit out, and as a bonus, they put out videos for morons like Me to help explain the stuff that they've figured out!

Anyway, it's interesting to mingle with society now that I'm working a little again. It seems that everyone has a very different version of life than Me. I know, I know, I'm the one who's retarded, everyone else is normal. FINE .. if that's how you see it, I don't care. Just listening to people in conversation is so weird to hear what they talk about. Most of it is so pointless, so meaningless. People get worked up and stressed about all this shit that I really don't have much memory of getting stressed at anymore. Their views on life used to be My views, until I quit watching the TV. I can just listen to them, and hear what they say as the same thing the media says. In essence, their brainwashed into believing what they hear. It's kinda sad and a little scary actually!

And in case your thinking that I'm spouting off on how much better I am than you .. DON'T. That's not it! I'm no better than anyone else out there, I'm just way more judgmental than any of you .. and as a bonus I like to point that out, LOUDLY I might add. Don't worry .. I catch Myself in the stupidity moments also, and I also try to point that out too.

So I think some blog I wrote, long, long ago I mentioned to try to give up TV and see how you like it. But here I am again, with the same plea to you. Stop watching TV and you'll slowly notice the world seems to get dumber and dumber, right before your very eyes.
