No…..wait…..not so fast!
Not so fast Buddy!!
So as you all know I am watching TV again, have been for about 2 years now.Wow, time flies when you are in front of the TV!
I wonder if I have been damaged at all, let’s see.
I am basically addicted to these housewives shows and can’t stop thinking about how I can get out of the rat race to live a life of leisure.I am currently implementing my plans so excuse me if there is a typo….

My computer was off and I was about to just cozy up to my TV to watch Christian. How can you not love him? What could make me turn it on?….The desire to blog about Christian.
J'dore
Well sweetie, it has been a long time since I saw you walking down the street in Williamsburg, but I must say….J’dore!
You look amazing and I can’t wait to see what happens next in your career. Best of luck to you!

Yes, I’m watching TV again
My favorite shows are the “Housewives Shows”. Any one any channel. Stay tunned, I plan to write more about these shows and some introspective looks at why others are addicted to these shows.

26 Cents
That is how much I found going into my new experiment. Yes, my new experiment is to pick up all the change I see on the streets of New York City. 26 cents. I thought it would be more, but hey we are officially in a recession.
More on that later. For now I had to reach back to talking about my year without TV. Could it get more obvious than this web site…
Yeah, TV is so over. Shame on you if you are still paying for TV. Yesterday I was at my sister’s house watching TV only to see that the same thing is being played over and over again on the same networks. Aside from that, the same 100 movies that are always on TV are still there. You guys know the ones. The Lost Boys, Napoleon Dynamite, Rocky, The Last Dragon, The Breakfast Club, etc.
For $100 a month, I want to see more than cult classics. Which, by the way I have not seen Swingers shown in sometime now.
Basically, people, just watch the Internet. This is the best way, when the switch happens I will be on Hulu, TV.com, You-tube, etc.
For now, I am watching HGTV.

New Experiment
So my new experiment is to pick up all the change I see on the streets of New York City for one year.
I shared this with a few friends, they chuckled. I shared this with my honey, he chuckled, then realizing that this could be embarrassing, asked me to not do it while we were together.
Poor thing, he will be ok.
So the rules:
1. Must pick up all change that is visible. If I see it and have access to it, I have to pick it up.
2.All change must be saved in one place, i.e a jar or separate account. I cannot spend anything until January 2010!
3.I cannot look for change. All monies must be acquired by normal day in and day out activities.
So, those are the rules.
I find it strange that in day 3, I have not found anything yet. Days before, I found 5 cents total just running my weekly errands. This will surely be a great experiment. I hope you all stay with me for another year as I see how much misc. change is on the streets of NY.

I made it one year without TV!!
I bet you fans were reading and watching to see if I would make it. Well I did and for me, it is just an indicator of how quickly time flies buy. I must admit, it has been fun, and I will go back to watching TV. I have had enough of alienating my friends, and I am curious to know what I missed in a year’s worth of commercials. I also have a buddy who is begging me to watch Gossip Girl.
O-well, I would appreciated comments and questions. I will be making my notes and searching for my book deal in the next coming months.
When the ball drops for 2009, I will be out with friends, well, my honey of 10 months. He is very excited about the new year and I hope you all check in with me to see how my next adventure will go…….
YES!!!
When the ball drops, there will be another experiment…………
Experiment for 2009, how much money will I have if I pick up all of the change on the ground of New York City.

When I was a kid, TV was free!!
This is what your TV will look like in February
So today while watching TV, my sister tells me that her TV went blank into a test pattern of color bars. Shortly after, there was an announcement about the station running a test. This test was in relation to the upcoming TV switch to happen in February. For about 2 minutes there was no programming. I guess this is an indicator of what is to come if you do not sign up for digital cable.
Crazy stuff!!
She procedeed to change the channel and saw the same test pattern on every channel, even channel 31!
According to the info on the screen 20% of NYC are still watching analog TV.
What about you?
