I'd like to know how the real world is? I would like to know why am I being told that I don't know what that is. Silly little me, who pays her bills and works and takes all the loans that can be had, doesn't understand how the real world works.
I happen to watch watch Oprah now. (Yeah, I know.) Well it just so happens she did a "Gay Wife" episode and I think Oprah made me a little more gay than I was last night. That's right, if you watch Oprah she'll make you gay.
I also happen to watch Dr. Phil, yeah. there is nothing to say about that man. Other than he is so silly. I can't help but laugh at him and his silliness.
So where does this leave me? With a shit load of homework to do, several large papers to write and to graduate in August. So what have I learned? Not having cable is not enough. I think I want to turn the TV into a fish tank. I don't want one anymore. I want to read James Cain books and make vegetarian food. Not for the rest of my life, but instead of wasting my life in front of the TV. And yet, I can't pull myself away from it. I was raised to tell the TV all my problems and leave it on at all hours of the day. I was raised to know that Dr. Laura, Dr. Phil and Oprah had all the answers. I was raised to turn the TV first thing in the morning and leave it on after I went to bed for others to watch while they came home from work or relaxed after doing nothing all day. I was raised in front of the TV. By all rights I should call it mom and invite it to my graduation. So what do I do? I urn it off and walk away. Why? Because the is never anything on anyway, the world is going to shit and I have much better things to do.
So, now what happens. I get addicted to Livejournal again? I start to play video games, I read all the time and never do anything? I go outside and play in the sunshine? I get another job? Who can really say what life is like after the TV goes off. It is rich and full of meaning and some day you might be able to find happiness? Your dreams will co me true, becuase now you have all that free time you have been looking for? Like I said, who knows what will happen.
I know that in real life people get married, pregnant , com out of the closet , go back in the closet, get put in the dog house and cheat, lie and steal. That, and so much more.
I decided teaching is not for me. But living is.
So now, if you'll excuse me I have to go read a few million books.
