It's true.
And perhaps that's the explanation
you've been waiting all year to hear--
the origins of my oddness, so to speak.

I haven't had access to television programs
for at least 6 years, if not longer.

And no, I'm not blogging from prison.
I hear they have cable there.

I have lots and lots of reasons
for not watching television.

I suppose this is a good place
to begin sorting those reasons out.
Let's see (perhaps in no particular order):

Two distinct situations arrived
that kept me occupied for a while . . .

Then I believed that TV was distracting me
from my work--particularly when I began my MA . . .

But these aren't entirely satisfactory . . .

Probably had something to do with my EX
and that last affair reducing me to a snivling heap
on a couch watching 80s & early 90s sitcoms
for six months into oblivion . . .

Maybe it's the shock people give when I tell them?

Definately my disenchantment with this world,
this culture . . .

Humph. I guess my reasons are too personal
to explore here after all--
