We have no cable at home (no, I am not jesting) for over ten years now. For other people, we are a conundrum. They just couldn't fathom the idea of us not having the broadcast telly in our household. Every so often when people learn that we do not have cable at all, their jaws drop in utter disbelief and then it is followed right away by the question "What do you guys do?". What do we do? We read, that's what. Books. That's our addiction. With books we do not get to be bombarded by stupid and monotonous commercials. Oh, they are so irritating. We do not have to stare forever at that glowing box. We do not have to keep on pressing the remote control just to end up watching some mediocre, mind-numbing soap operas. I hate all that shit!
I think it's hilarious when you realize people are so attached to the idiot box that they think it's the end of the world without it. Most of our acquaintances look at us like we're from Planet Mars just because we DO NOT own that manipulative contraption they call television that everybody raves about.
I really do not care. I know one thing. I am happy with my choice. And I will hold on to that exhilarating feeling of freedom that I am quite proud of. I do not and will not bow down to that one-eyed-god!
