How To Disappear Completely


As some of you know, I don't have any viewable channels on my TV (by choice). However, today I got my dose of television while at the gym. There are about 8 channels I can watch while I'm on the bike. They are all close captioned, and that's probably for the better in my opinion.

So, here is what I observed on the TV sets while on the bike at the gym tonight:

CNN had non-stop coverage of some girl Elizabeth who I've never heard of, and she's still alive. That is great, really, but why not show some other stuff like a news channel should? 60 Minutes II told me that 1/4 of U.S soldiers killed in the last Gulf War were killed by friendly fire (by their own people). Friendly fire is a misnomer in my opinion. I then glanced at all the screens and came to this conclusion: Democracy is being tested right now. Blind faith isn't a good thing, people. Gas prices are rising and are going through the roof. Fuck you if you say Iraq isn't about the oil. And fuck you if you think that bombing the shit out of a country and killing people is going to help the future generations. And if you are so pro-war, then go fight it yourself. The US tested a 21,000 pound bomb, but wait, it was not nuclear. Tested it in Florida. Someone smiled. That weapon definitely wasn't of mass destruction. If Saddam is so bad, why don't they hunt him down individually, just like they did with that Bin Laden guy that people seem to have forgotten about? Oh, that's not possible with all the caves and mountains, that's right. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe people should die. What do I know? Nothing. The human race has always been fighting wars, it's in our nature. So who cares about that stuff, I say again. I'm sorry for bringing it up. Not good for ratings. So then I looked at the sports games to get distracted. No good games on. I then thought I'd check out some of the hot women in the gym, but I didn't want to come across as staring so I monitored the rpm's on the bike I was on. Then I looked back up at the TV sets and saw that China banned some Rolling Stone songs. I then saw something about the footage we were never supposed to see regarding Michael Jackson. I thought to myself, we shouldn't have seen any of it to begin with. Ok, STOP. Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. You see why I don't watch TV now? No? I then got off the bike and played air guitar to a Molly Hatchet song I heard on the radio. Bye for now. Have a great day out there.
