Don't forget this song too!


But I agree with the op about making better use of your time, maybe not completely getting rid of your tv but having better self control, telling yourself to stop watching tv because there are other things you could be doing, or stop reading teamliquid and go to sleep haha
My folks were always on me to groom myself and wear underpants. What am I, the pope?

Throw away your television
Time to make this clean decision
Master waits for its collision now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Throw away your television
Make the break big intermission
Recreate your supervision now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Oy oy oy (gotta love anthony <3)

Throw away your television
Take the noose off your ambition
Reinvent your intuition now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Throw away your television
Salivate to repetition
Alleviate this ill condition now

It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat


Since I have moved out I have lived without television:
One of the best decisions in my life thus far ( Easily top 20, maybe even top 10).

There is nothing wrong with watching movies or series that you like, I do that as well,
but brainlessly turning on the TV and watching the first thing in sight is bad for you.

You know it , right?
Do I have to explain, why?
Okay, but real short:
1. It consumes a lot of time.
2. You dont learn anything useful.
3. It's not a social interaction with other persons.
4. It's bad for your creativity.
5. It consumes a LOT of time.

Why not play an instrument instead?
Or read a book?
Or go for a walk( kay, you dont have to do this one, but you might as well)
Or learn something for school/college/your job instead.
Explore your interests, become creative, do something worthy of your time.

I know it's a big step to get rid of television, but you wont regret it.
As long as it is still in the house you will always be tempted.
Now you even have a reason to visit friends more often (" I dont have a Tv, can I watch this with you?").

I know this is not the best written blog and I'm actually quiet sure I wont change anybodies opinion /lifestyle, but maybe if you guys hear it often enough from me and other ones you will think about it.

Oh and btw a lot of the reasonning applies to watching random streams of starcraft as well.
Get specific. Select the event you want to watch (GSL, MLG , whatever), or say "I want to watch (insert player namer here)'s stream in the afternoon for 1 hour.
But dont just go on teamliquid and watch any stream, because that WILL steal you hours and hours of time.

Im not on facebook either , not because I want to be anti-establishment (okay maybe a little), but because it's a time thief and I simply dont need it ( and neither would you ).

Im going to see RHCP live this summer yeah!


This mostly applies to the internet for me. I kind of regret getting internet at home (but mostly it's a net plus) mostly because I get super duper productive without the internet.

In the end people will always find things to idle/procrastinate on and waste time. If not TV, the internet. If not internet, books. Etc.


Even if there is nothing to do, people would prefer doing nothing to doing anything. Humans don't like to think all that much.
