Ever notice that you never see people take a shit on TV? Think about it. Taking a poop is something you do once or twice a day Add in peeing and you likely go to the bathroom 4 to seven times a day (more if you are a female in my family and we happen to be travelling to New Jersey). Even so, unless you are watching All In The Family, you never see anyone go to the bathroom or hear the flushing of a toilet...unless of course it is the bad guy flushing drugs down the toilet to not be caught with the goods when the cops are at the door!
Indeed, if you get your sense of what life is from TV, you would think that no one goes to the bathroom and that everyone is either happy and sarcastic or mad and homicidal. Real life is different though. In the real world, we all need to go to the bathroom. Most people are not packing heat and our problems usually don't go away within a half an hour, commercials included. In fact, TV promotes coarseness and anti-social behaviors because they are not common. TV is there to entertain and show you things that are hopefully outside of your every day routine. That's is why it is entertaining, because the stuff isn't supposed to be happening to you routinely. Here is another example: Did you ever notice that bars on TV are filled with hot babes and studly guys...Maybe some not-so-good-looking people too, but well dressed uglies who exude money or power. Now think about the last time you walked into a bar...filled with average-looking people, maybe more than a handful of drunks and everyone looking to others for a good time. I know that at the bars I have gone to (both high-end power bars and low-end dives...strip clubs, private clubs and after-hour dives), none of the places exude the same type of quiet energy that you see at the bars on TV. Busy bars are loud and noisy, so much so that you can't hear your friends talking to you. Quiet bars still have noisy drunks in them thus meaningful conversations are tough to have there as well. People, all I can say is that if you compare your life and happiness to a TV show and you feel that your life is wanting, then you are out of touch with reality. TV is not real life...even the reality shows. I honestly feel that all of you would be better off if you stopped watching TV all together. There are so many things that make life great...but you need the time to experience them. How can you experience them if you are constantly sitting in front of an idiot box? Do you ever see a TV character sit in front of a TV for an entire show? Of course not! They are actually doing things...that's why you are watching the fucking show! You are watching people pretending to live particularly active lives. They may be pretending to be working...or pretending to just be getting off of work, etc. etc., but they are still acting! I guess what I am trying to say is that if you want a different life, then you are actually going to have to live it. If you are not happy right now, and you want to be, then you are going to have to do something differently. Doing the same thing that makes you unhappy, will only make you unhappy! Do something a little different every day! Take a step out of your comfort zone! See if it doesn't make you happier. And for God's sake, get out from in front of that TV! God bless!
