I Am Bored With My Tv

How can this be you ask with over a hundred channels to chose from at any given time right at your fingertips If I had back all the minutes that have turned into hours surfing night after night trying to find one program of substance to hold my attention more than the length of its commercial advertisements I could do something more constructive than catch snippets of a sappy movie of the week how to make money in less that sixty seconds watch ex-television stars battle for a new job reruns of the dying daytime soaps the reality of having five, six, or eight children As bored as I am, it seems like today’s entertainment click by click has at least enabled me to participate in and enjoy the daily gathering at the water cooler Shani Fassbender
