Coming off TV withdrawal

why without electricity?

 

My Dad was a hippie freak! We bought this cabin on the river and it had no running water or electricity. I thought it sucked then, but if you didn't want to be bothered, which was Dad's take, it was heavenly! Dad had gotten a series of state grants in the form of wind generator parts, but never got all of them.
Some dope dealer jagoff bought it when my parents got divorced. Cost him almost $20K to run electricity back there. I asked the guy if I could come out there sometime to do some soul searching at my thinking spot (huge rock atop a big hill). The guy told me he would shoot me on sight. Didn't want anyone near his "crops".

 

yeah for that I think a new thinking spot is in order

 

I sometimes think of calling the DEA and giving them a heads up. All of his "business partners" have been busted, I think his turn is coming. I know exactly where it would be, too.

 

Just think, you could buy the place after he's busted.

 

Wouldn't mind having it when we go to build a house. Put a horse stable in and board horses or something.
My Dad would love to have it back, we were just talking about that last week.

 

I went about 6 months with just rabbitt ears, But I rented movies.

I've been with out an h card for a while now, so I'm down to basic service, I really miss it, especially working nights, there's nothing to watch during the day.

 

I've got this elaborate home theater (from being in the business) that goes largely unused. I'm not a T.V. guy; I love music!

Generally, sporting events are the only thing I'll watch.

 

There's nothing on TV I wanna see except sports. If there's not any sports on, I have the TV muted but on, and music on, unless I'm reading and then I'll turn on the weather channel and read. Every once in a while I watch VH1.

When I get home in the evenings sometimes I watch a Seinfeld rerun. Other than that, I'll ignore the tube til college basketball starts back on Thursday. I could easily live without TV instead of my computer. If I wanna watch a movie, I've got DVD's and VHS.

 

For two years, I lived in an apartment in Elizabeth without cable. It was probably the 2 most productive years of my life. Since I disconnected my own cable a 9 days ago, I think I have adjusted well and only miss it when I sit on the couch to eat. I think I'm a better person now.
