Well, I fired my cable company because they couldn't keep their billing straight. I was going to go with DirectTV, but something inside me just told me to do a little experiment.
So, for the last month, I have had zero television. I have rabbit ears, but I haven't hooked them up. I still have tv at the camp, but that's for my Saints. I can't go cold turkey on watching the Saints.
So far, I'm a happier and more productive person. I have read 12 books and I managed to plan all my classes for the next month ahead of time. I thought I would miss the History Channel, but they don't have history on there much anymore anyway. It's all Ice Road Truckers and Swamp People. These are not history. I do miss ESPN, but I'm going to be saving a cool grand a year with no cable. I get my news from the net and I never, ever have to listen to Obama blaming everyone for his shortcomings.
We'll see if I can make it through the entire NFL season like this. I will cheat and hook up the rabbit ears if the Saints are on, but aside from that, I'm thinking this is a good thing.
Anyone else ever cut the cord for a while and noticed a change in themselves?
