I've always said my biggest downfall, my guiltiest pleasure, in life has been TV. I have always wondered how much more I could accomplish if I was not a TV-zombie, soaking in every second of nonsense available. There are so many things that I have wanted to do, many things I've started and never finished. But I'm always attracted to the eerie glow, seduced and distracted by the delusions of reality, lost in a world that (thankfully) is not real.
So here it is...the 100 Days Experiment...100 days without television...

Only 99 Days More to Go...

Well, that was a rough first day. My internet was cutting in and out all day long. The weather outside was terrible. I finished everything I wanted to get done around the house early in the day. I think I stared at the black, empty screen all day long. I have no idea why I was staring at it. I think I was hoping it would mysteriously turn on and I would accidently be forced to watch something. I am happy to report that never happened.

Also very unfortunate to myself is the fact that no one (myself partially included) understands why I am doing this. My sister's words: "Ew. Just watch TV loser. Who cares??" I wanted to agree with her more than anything, snatch up the remote and cozy up to my reality TV. But I decided that even though I don't know exactly why I am going to torture myself like this, I would keep it going until I figured out why.

Day ONE down. Ninety-nine left to go....
