I do not typically advocate for violence, but really, it's time we kill the TV. Turn off the TV! So often people watch TV for it's "entertainment" value, but often it's simply a waste of time. If you are looking for entertainment play a card game, walk around the block, catch some live music or start studying something you've always wanted to learn more about. Some people have a closer relationship with their TV and TV Guide than with those around them. Let's move beyond these empty and meaningless relationships and build relationships that will last and inspire us.
I'm tired of conversations starting with, "Did you see.... show or commercial?" I don't have a TV. In my rig there is no room for one. If you are going to watch TV watch a show that's going to inspire you and move you. Try limiting your TV time and budgeting it like you do your money.
