TV rots your brain

I recently read a study that discovered unhappy people watch 30 percent more television than happy people. Article here:

I am not ashamed to admit I watch TV, but I can live without it. Although, given my current situation, I've been watching a lot because it doesn't cost me any more than the monthly payment and, let's face it, I don't have anyone to hang out with anyway. That being said, there are shows that I like. One of them is Top Chef on Bravo. It is a cooking competition that pits up-and-coming chefs against each other. Granted, it is a reality game show, but it involves cooking and creativity which I enjoy watching. Unfortunately, I won't be able to view this season because the cable company doesn't have Bravo as an option in the basic cable package. My cable company is Comcast and I hate their service. Not only is there no Bravo, but the internet service is overpriced and awful; crashes way too often. On top of that, NBC has never come in clearly and that is one of the big four networks. I grew up with Time Warner Cable in Texas and had no complaints. TWC is cheaper, faster, and has more services. Yet another reason I miss the Lone Star State.

Ah, another lame post. Probably because I am unhappy...
