Watching TV Shows

I spend way too much time watching TV.  I don't deny that.  It's probably both the caused by and the reason for why I don't have a lot of friends to do stuff with.  However, it's not like I watch TV for the sake of having nothing to do.

I watch because I enjoy the shows that I watch.  Now, a lot of them I tend to see episodes over and over again mainly because I tend to just keep my TV on TBS and watch something else on my monitor from my phone, but they are still shows I enjoy.

I also watch a lot of sports and wrestling, so that's on there too.  I've noticed thought that I actually don't pick up shows to watch until after they are done or almost done.  I didn't start watching The Office, Parks & Rec, or Breaking Bad until they were done with.

The few shows that I have watched from the start tend to be shows that rank up in my favorites of all time.  Futurama, Simpsons, and Boy Meets World are all in my top 5.

But now with things like Netflix or Amazon Prime it's easy to just start a show and watch through them without the week to week wait or waiting for the summer to end.  It makes things much nicer and a lot easier to just stop a show if you don't like it or push through because you can get through it quickly.

Fuller House was one of those shows where I just pushed through the first season even though I didn't really like it.  Then again there is Always Sunny that I marathoned through in no time and now watch on a weekly basis when a new season is on.

But I'm also still one of those people that will buy a series on DVD/Blu-ray.  I'm currently going through Castle, which I absolutely love.  I'm sure it is on Hulu, but I don't need to subscribe to another streaming service.  Especially one with commercials unless I pay more money.

Needless to say, TV is too much a part of my live.  It always has been, even when I was a kid.  Oh well, at least it gets me out of my world every now and then.

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
