"For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it."

"I grew up around the T.V and I turned out T.V"

So it’s been about 4 weeks since we’ve moved into the new house and I LOVE IT. We have a super-dooper, re-constucted couch, a beautiful kitchen table and an uber comfy bed. We feel like we have everything we could ever need or want. BUT. Without fail, running on 100% success rate, no guest has entered this house without asking presumptuously “When are you getting a T.V?”

STOP.

Let me give you a little-bitta insight into my day: I often begin work (ing my ass off) before the sun rises and stop working well and truly into the dark-time hours. In the tiny window of time between the last essay marked or the last class planned, and bed time (how I love you bed) I either spend catching up with my boy, cleaning, or reading my awesome Jonathon Safron Foer book.

PLAY.

When, in the hours between me opening my eyes in the morning and then closing them again 17 hours later do I have the TIME (or the desire) to sit in front of a box that tells me to: eat lamb, lose weight, buy this magazine, shop at this store, bank at this institution and be concerned about who’s just died in Summer Bay?

REWIND.

Currently we have no plans or desire to purchase a t.v and despite popular belief we are ok. We are up on current events; the looming financial crisis in Greece for instance, the fact that interest rates are rising faster than …shit, currently out of humorous euphemisms… they’re rising fast ok and you get the point. Anyway the fact of the matter is, we have fun, we know stuff and all in the absence of a t.v-and the world needs to know that we are OK !

      This is my blog. There are many like it but this one is my own. Within it I make (debatably) witty observations about life or something like it. During the day I teach teenagers things about the world and the English language. I read philosophy books and classics and I have an impressive vinyl collection. I appreciate the small things and I try to make the world better everyday. I love to write and take photos of pretty things using my Diana. I'd loan you my toothbrush...

    I'm a 24 year old, stuck in the body of a 24 year old. I like you if you like me, If you screw up I can't look you in the eye. I wish I knew who made up that thing that kids say about sneezing being a 1/4 of an orgasm as I think they've made a pretty wild connection between two different ends of the human body. Sometimes I'll employ the use of sarcasm even though I know what they say about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit-but does anyone else think that statement could be sarcastic itself? When I was a kid the dentist told me I'd grow into my mouth and I'm still waiting. I walk a seesaw between extro and intro (verted that is). I'm convinced RnB music is the bane of my existence (the very fact the middle letter 'n' stands for 'and' should really be enough to call the whole thing off). I hate prejudiced on all levels of the word. I think I was either born in the wrong era or grew up with people who had not yet grown out of theirs. I hate it when people use words like "asap" or phrases such as "24/7" but at least there's a record that i love to play......
