How to live without television for a week
"Not purposefully done."
How I did it: This was completely accidental. I moved in with my boyfriend about 5 months ago and he coincidentally does not have television/cable. He has a tv, he has about a hundred movies, but there is no CNN here, no MTV, VH1, or Showtime. We watch films occasionally, but I look up the current weather conditions online, I get my pop culture fix from perezhilton.com, and I watch SNL clips on Youtube.
It is interesting to say the least. Sometimes I miss tv, but mostly, after a while, you find other things to do to occupy your time. I read more now, I'm more outgoing, and I've definitely contributed more of my time to creating art than I would have if there was a tv around to watch.
TV is a life-sucker, time-waster, and I truly believe it does our society more harm than good.
Lessons & tips: Just get rid of the damn thing!!
