NO TV DAY 73

Hi!  I'm Jake!

REACHED THE GOAL. NOW WHAT?

When I first decided to stop watching TV, I said I would quit TV for 70 days- until March 30th.  But I didn't watch TV on the 30th.  In fact, it has now been 73 days.  I reached my goal and kept going.

I have been so productive during this time.  It made me think that maybe I should just make it a whole year!  Moreover, maybe before watching TV again, I should get on TV.

But then, I saw the dishes I had to do today. Oh crud!

DISHES ARE BORING

My wife, Callie does not do dishes.  Because I was getting ready for The Wedding AlBUM CD/DVD recording, I did not do dishes last week.  So, we had a week's worth of stinky dishes just waiting for me to clean today.

When I used to watch TV all the time, I would pass the time doing dishes by watching Netflix on my phone.  Today, to help take my mind off the stink, I decided to watch House of Cards, Season 2.

STUPID DROID THUNDERBOLT!

Unfortunately/ fortunately, I forgot I deleted Netflix from my phone.  When I decided to not watch TV, I deleted Netflix to help my self control.  When I tried to re-install it today, I couldn't.   My phone's internal memory is too  full.

Consequently, instead of watching a TV show about a psychopath politician, I listened to The Moth Radio Hour. It was inspiring.  I heard an Aussie storyteller explain how he accidentally blew up his monkey with an explosive coconut.  Cool!  Then, I heard a story about a Polish, Nazi-killing assassin who inspired his chubby daughter!  Also cool!

So instead of watching Netflix, I got to use my imagination!

SUMMARY

My piece of garbage phone kept me from watching TV.  That helped me maintain my self control and imagine assassins and monkey violence.

Plus, I don't have to re-start my not-watching-TV experiment.  My 73-day personal record for not watching TV is still intact.  Though I am not sure how many days I will go, I have already gone one-fifth of a year.  Seems like I should go all the way!  Who knows what I can accomplish during that time?!

Bye!  I'm Jake!
