My name is Jennifer and I’m an addict

They say that the first thing you need to do is to ACCEPT it, so here goes. I admit that I’m an addict. No, not in drugs (but you might find it interesting that I haven’t seen illegal drugs in real life) and not sex. I’m addicted to the boob tube. I think it all started when I was young. Watching saturday morning cartoons is a ritual for me and my brothers. Yes, we would even fight which cartoon to watch. Then, when I start studying, the purpose of tv for me has evolved. If I have to stay up and review, I need the TV on because else I will get scared and start to think of ghosts etc. Now, it has a new purpose for me. I have made it an alarm clock and most of the time I have used it as a “radio” till I fall asleep. It has wasted my time when I can do other things. Other things that I love doing, like working on a scrapbook, posting blogs like this, etc. No wonder why I feel that everything in my life seems to be monotonous. wake up..work…eat…watch tv..sleep..Weird thing is, no matter how long I stayed watching tv, I forgot what I’ve watched. I looked but never see, I heard but never listen…I want to take my life back and start doing things that I enjoy more than watching TV.
