lead me to the land that you understand

last night's episode of Lost was a pretty good one and i can't believe it but yes they indeed are going to have another new episode next week. sometimes i get annoyed at myself for "having a tv show" but then i think 'what the fuck? who cares?'. i used to be one of those people who consciously did not watch television and then someone would say 'oh have you seen this show?' or 'did you see that commercial?' and it would piss me off to no end and inevitably i'd feel bad for feeling that way. then there are some people who just love to mention that they don't watch tv, they read, as if people who watch the boob tube don't read they just loaf on the couch all day. now while there are some people who do loaf on the couch and watch tv all the time, there are many who will watch the occasional show on television and also find time to read or do other non-tv related activities. and that is ok. we all just need to get along and not feel superior to those who don't do exactly the same things that we do. that is part of what makes life interesting, is that we are not all the same. it'd be pretty boring if we were. i recently saw this photoshopped pic of an ipod where the song title read "i have a better taste in music than anyone else". it's funny because it's true. admittedly there are times when i'll think something like that because it makes me feel good to be superior, it feeds the ego. but then shortly after i'll realise what a mistake it is to feel that way and push those thoughts away. this is why i have to stay busy all the time because i will overanalyse the shit out of everything. including watching television.
