A Lazy Day

When there's a snow blizzard outside there are only a few things that you can do staying indoors. Talk/chat with friends, play something indoors, watch television. I did all that this weekend.

Out of those, Television is something that really completes life. The bad thing about television is that everybody you see on television is doing something better than what you're doing. Did you ever see anybody on TV like just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip crumbs on their face?

There are some really irritating things on television, Commercials for example. Not as a concept but the way they're put forth and the plastic people that exist in it. I mean where do you find these samples from?

Infact, some people have a little too much fun in commercials: the soft drinks people - where do they summon this enthusiasm? Have you seen them? "We have pepsi, we have coke, we have blah blah boo", jumping, laughing, flying through the air - it's just a can of stupid soft drink. It's just carbon di oxide pumped into colored, flavored liquid. Again I'm not against soft drinks but the commercials hurt!

Have you ever been standing and you're watching TV and you're drinking the exact same product that they're advertising right there on TV, and it's like, you know, they're spiking volleyballs, jetskiing, girls in bikinis and I'm standing here - "Maybe I'm putting too much ice in mine."

The only thing that actually makes watching television worthwhile is this thing called the La-Z-Boy. This is very flattering to the prospective customer, isn't it? Why don't we just call it the 'half-conscious deadbeat with no job, home all day, eating Cheetos and watching TV' recliner? It goes back so far, that thing...I mean, it's like, 'Go to bed already! Whatever you were watching is over!

Cheers!
