There are simply too many things to do. Even with the elimination of TV from my routine, great ideas go unrealized and mundane tasks compete for precious time. Tonight, the mundane drudgery is ignored and I am loose, prowling my intellect into the void of my creativity. May my will keep the momentum of the activity of this evening.

Living Without Television
TV is the great thief of time. Most of us watch it passively, accept what comes on, or ignore it and allow it to fill the background of our existence. Our brains have become numb with the paltry offering of the networks catering to the lowest common denominator among us.
I have replaced TV with exercise and radio. I choose to watch movies. And there are a few Internet offerings that are worthwhile. http://dl.tv/ is a carry over from the expatriates of TechTV before it became the caffeinated teenage gamer network, G4. G4 ruined a wonderful network, I could not stomach the transformations of my shows into pale shadows of their former selves. DL.TV takes me back to the good old days.
I should be posting here more often. I have a couple of journals that could be transcribed here, when the wounds heal.

BellSouth took 18 days to tell me I couldn't have DSL. The phone service had already been set up. I was so mad, I canceled everything. If I have to pay for a cable modem, I am better off getting a cell phone and ditching the land line. BellSouth has sent me a bill, I am going to have to write my reply since calling them will cost me money. I will object to paying the installation fee, since my order was never fulfilled.
I've lost about 45 pounds since January 1st. I'm lifting twice the weight I started with at the beginning. Physically, I feel better that I can remember. I still need a better routine, idle time is my worst enemy right now. And my notebook is acting freaky. I need to do more writing too.
Goodnight.
