List Things That Are Better Than Tv

Recommended Posts

Working out. Reading. Doing something with your hands (knitting, painting, whatever). Cooking. Cleaning. Studying.

These are the things I have to remind myself of on a daily basis because I am a really productive person when I don't have a TV (like right now) but when I'm in a hotel or visiting someone with a TV, I'm a total junkie. It's already hard for me to ration my Hulu time. The fact that none of the shows I'm subscribed to made a new episode for a month and a half this past holiday season helped me get weaned.

Who really needs a TV when you got Phatmass.

Then there is playing Star Wars legos with my sons, building campfire in backyard with my sons and making goofy faces to make my 8mo old daughter smile.

And then there is the obvious, receiving the Sacraments.

You're special. By the way, I finally plucked my eyebrows and I feel much better. *hairflip* :|

And the unmentionable was a bit before your time. We will discuss at a later date. :evil:

Done right, the unmentionable is one of the highest forms of prayer. :saint2:
