#284 Throw away your television

We all live somewhere, even on park benches . We probably spend too much of our lives in the home. In the middle of autumn, it may take some effort to leave the bed at all. And since your life shouldn’t be boring just because you’re at home, we proudly present: Seven things you can do in your home.

Your TV hates you. It's like a new pair of pants. If you don’t buy a new pair of pants you'll never get a chance to miss them, since you never had them. If you get rid of your TV, you won’t miss it after a while. Since you don’t have it. In addition, there will be something that you haven’t had in a long time: Time.

You know how you accumulate paperbacks each year to read during summer vacation? Bam! Now you can read them on a Monday. Time. You know how you always say you don’t have time to clean, dust, polish the windows and thus also refrain from inviting friends home for dinner even if you think that it’d be very nice? Bam! Now you can have a tapas potluck again. Time.

Your TV hates you. It steals your time with bad sitcoms, reality shows, white trash and macabre news. In addition, it’s ugly. It is not just a new pair of pants you do not need. It’s a pair of ugly new pants you don’t need. The few programs that you want to watch you can see streamed on the web. There is no reason whatsoever to have a big ugly machine that steals all the energy in your living room. Bam! Now you can sit and talk with your family at dinner. Bam! Now you can have breakfast in the living room and know what the food tastes like. Bam! Now you do not have to wonder what that voice you hear in your head is. It is your own thoughts. Bam!
