Confessions of a couch potato

Sometimes I often think I find reality a little too hard to deal with. When everyday seems like a painfully mundane rut I'm stuck in,I constantly find myself seeking ways to keep away from the real world,and take off in a bubble of my own. Glazed eyes in the middle of a Micro lecture, I'll be far away in my own dream world-complete with rainbows, butterflies, and my very own Adonis to boot. Or I could be drifting into the future, my future apartment,future job,future me. The need to keep myself amused never ceases,and perhaps this seems to be my greatest folly-I get bored with what's around me too easily.

Which brings me to what I really love-my companion on bleary days,my best friend-known to some as the idiot box,television,people is my one true love. A temporary refuge from my dull life,it gives me an escape like no other. I can overdose on episodes of "Lie to me" all day. Dr. Cal Lightman best fits my description of an ideal man.Or I could be soaking in "How I met your mother". Movie marathons-whatever is on HBO or Star Movies from horror flicks to tacky action,to slapstick comedy,to the staple romcoms,anything and everything.If it's on,I definitely will be watching.What I love most about t.v. is that it will never leave me. It's simply there,offering me the solace and company you seldom get.

But as I find myself in front of the telly more that in front of what I really should be infront of,It makes me think if I really am letting this addiction go a little too far. I often get so absorbed,I won't eat for hours without realizing. What if i'm losing out on other aspects of life? the real aspects.
That really is somthing for me to think about. In the meantime,Masterchef's on.
