(this is a really long, boring description that's not very funny [if at all. haha] as always, feel free to skip my stupid [typo-filled...god, "As I child"?? wtff.] rambles )

As a child (and even now, haha) I spent a LOT of time by myself. My only companions were my toys, and television As addicted as I am to the internet, television is my one true love regardless of how crappy the programming can be sometimes, I'll almost always find something I can watch. Whenever things are getting me down, TV always cheers me up. Always. No one person or thing can do that for me 100% of the time, except for watching television. (hahah sad, I know, but I don't care )

I've come across tons of people saying that TV is "bad" and "evil" and "brain rotting" or whatever. I'll refrain from going on a long angry tirade about this, seeing as how the internet and video games have become the evil media du jour as of recently, so not many people make such comments anymore; regardless, it's a topic that I feel very strongly about, as I think (much like the aforementioned outlets) everyone is always looking for some scapegoat to blame their own flaws on. Humans have the capability to make what they will out of their surroundings, and whose place is it for someone to deem what is "acceptable" and what isn't?*


Perhaps you're wondering "Does she love TV more than... GRAVY???" and the answer is: YES, totally. I will say, that gravy is to food, as TV is to my mood (haa rhyming), since gravy will make many a' dish greater, just by its addition. However, it won't always cheer me up, like TV does, moreover, seeing as how it's essentially flavored salty, oily liquid, the health benefits (that is to say, lack thereof) prevent it from ever being at the VERY top of my list. (and yes, I am aware that studies have been done where people [or rather, children] have DIED, after watching TV on a constant basis..............however, thinking about it more, I wonder if those adults [as I was told this as a child] were just LYING to me, because really, such a study where a child's LIFE was sacrificed in the name of science sounds a little fishy, seeing as how people are up in arms about unformed FETUSES getting killed for actual legitimate disease studies, I highly doubt a frivilous study where multiple children were put into a scenario where they could have DIED [what's more, it wasn't like it was to test any sort of life-saving drug, it was to see whether watching TV non-STOP {as in, that's literally ALL they did} would KILL you or not. Maybe I'm just giving people too much credit, but it seems pretty obvious that if you were to do ANYTHING non-stop without ever varying your activities, you'd really screw yourself up, regardless of the activity. Furthermore, little kids are super sensitive! Anyway, I dunno. Getting back to my original point which I'm sure you have all forgotten by now, as I sure have, hahaa, oh yes, so anyway, I don't consider studies like that as reasons why TV is bad for your health. [I DO acknowledge that TV is a distraction which leads people to not be active/exercise, but again, that's a decision that you make yourself; I know for myself, I'm such a lazy ass, even IF TV wasn't around, i'd just sit on my ass knitting or sleeping all day [not much different from what I already do, hahaaa ] I need to shape up, though, as I'm pretty much in the same shape as an out-of-shape old man As I always say, I'm like a 80 year old man in a 12 year old girl's body! ! on many levels.] oh, and I also don't count the "radiation emitting from the screen" as a health risk, either. cellphones I'm still afraid of, but if there's something major with TV, I'm pretty sure something would've come up by now. [unless THAT'S what the children died of!!!! hmm.])

ANYWAY. I could go on for fuckever (the sad part is, I was TRYING to hold back, hahah), but I'll shut up now



I'm submitting this as a wallpaper, but my original intent for it was for a shirt design (which I am going to get printed, but as I mentioned awhile ago, I give up trying to do those surveys already, cuz they take forever with my psycho perfectionism trying to make sure I counted everyone, etc. etc. etc. ) so if you're a television lover like myself, I'll hoooopefully have these shirts (along with all the others ) printed within the coming month or two!

I made two colorful variations here: [link] and [link]

In closing: This is my 77th deviation!!! 77 is my favorite number for various reasons, so that is why I chose a picture that means a lot to me (hahah stupid as it sounds, I like to do crap like this ) so yes, yaaay tv.


*by that, I mean people who speak in general terms of what standards the general [adult] public should adhere to. When it comes to parents and their children, that's a WHOLE 'nother topic.
