wish i had a tv

There's a ton of things out there that i wish i could have, and make do without. I'm not going to go through them all right now because it would expose the greedy diva i keep locked away inside, but there's one thing that's been on my mind.

A tv. I don't have one here. Actually, i don't even really need one particularly badly, i don't even use my tv that often when i'm at home anyways... if you don't count how addicted i was during the olympic weeks.

When i eat, for some reason i can't just simply eat and not do anything else. If i ever do that i feel uncomfortable the whole time, and i can't even enjoy my meal. That's where having a tv comes in, because i can accompany any meal with some the news, bad cartoons, or even just informercials. It doesn't really matter as long as i have some background noise. All i have to do is push a button, and i don't have to worry about an uncomfortable meal.

It's a bit harder at my place in Toronto since i don't have a tv.

There's plenty of days that i awkwardly eat my meals alone at the kitchen counter fiddling with my food uncomfortably... i'm weird. Does anyone else have this problem?

Even a newspaper would suffice. Actually i really enjoy having newspapers around. The unfunny comic strips make me laugh more than the funny ones. I love how you can always tell when the artist left it to the last moment to write his strip and just spewed out some unfunny garbage. Kinda like my blogging...

I was at dim sum with family.

Aunt: "What happened in Chile was so sad..."
Justin: "wot?"
Aunt: "What happened to the people with defective toyotas is so scary"
Justin: "Hein?"

I am apparently apparently clueless and ignorant. It's interesting how detached from the world i can be when you simply remove newspapers from my life. In fact, take away the news from everyone, and for all they know, all the other continents don't exist.

You know what? That gets me thinking, i've never actually been to Europe or Asia. They probably don't even exist. I bet you Europe and Asia are a lie. They're just an elaborate conspiracy that the government uses to fluctuate prices at will. Yeah. You're thinking it too now aren't you?
