sports, television

Television has lost some of its glamour in the recent years, with so much being available in shows and entertainment online, but it still does have some advantages.

Namely, for me, the advantage it has is live sporting events. although it is very true that these are also available online, the fact that i personally have a dinosaur age computer that has encountered so many viruses i can hardly access the internet, and the fact that cable is prepaid for in my home and i do not get charged anything for it, i prefer the TV. being a sports junkie, i do regularly enjoy sitting in front of a 50 in. big screen and watching professionals work. this is and always has been television's most enticing event for me, but i do confess to engaging in occasional crime dramas and episodes of AFV. even though it has gone down in the amount of TV i watch in the past few years, and that i know rarely watch television without multitasking, i'm still one who enjoys TV.

as for the fact emmys are more of a big deal in our country than the nobel peace prize? well, that just shows the direction of our country, becoming more and more centered on trivial entertainments than things in this world that truly matter, but that, my friends, is a whole other post...
