TV

I was taking a walk the other night when I saw the most dreadful sight. Actually I didn't. But I did take a walk. My two sisters, a friend and I were walking around the neighborhood talking about random things, when I noticed every house we passed had strange and colorful flashing lights coming out of the windows. Every single one. It was strange to see house after house sitting dark and still as the occupants sat like dead things staring at the flashing lights. Oblivious of everything going on around them. As they sat there totally engrossed in the nonexistent reality they were intensely watching, we were out on a casual stroll enjoying the fresh night air and having intelligent conversation. They had no idea this lonely groups was wandering the gloomy streets observing them; peering in their open windows. Cartoons, spy shows, action movies, comedies, guitar hero. People have no creativity anymore. The first thing they do when they get home from work is switch on that TV. Reading and hobbies are a thing of the past. Anyway, as I was walking past all those dim homes with those lifeless bodies just staring at those flickering screens, I started thinking (and that's not an easy thing to do, I might add) about how I am so tired of playing xBox with such bad picture. I need a new TV so bad!
