I am Your Sunshine

I just can’t help writing about it. (cos I can’t stop watching.)

The thing is, if you don’t get anything out of it, why watch it? I know some people watch TV to relax, let their brain go blank. That’s understandable. I have nothing against it. (As long as they don’t occupy the TV and do the annoying channel flipping thing while I have an IMPORTANT show to watch.) But really, if someone watch as much TV as I do and all for “relaxing”. Man, there must be something wrong with that person. But I got a lot from TV. Not only it creates different worlds, but also it stirs my thoughts and often makes me reflect. It’s fun to have different possibilities and it gives you so much more than real life. (Not that real life is not abundantly fun enough.) For example, Sorkin expresses his ideal of the world of media and politics as well as personal relationships; JJ Abram’s wild imagination (Alias, Lost) and his delicate depiction of human interaction (Felicity, What About Brian, Six Degrees) often intrigue and inspire me. I like Gilmore Girls and Boston Legal for their witty dialogues and firm friendships, and of course, some of them are pure entertainment.

TV makes me think. I like things that make me think. Sometimes it speaks my mind and sometimes it gives me the oppertunity to think about the problems in life which haven’t happened before. In the process, I know myself a bit better, learn things and perceive different perspectives. Mom always says I should care more about worldly events, politics, economy and all, but I just can’t. We have people around the world messing things up and we also have people who care enough and write a show for things. I’ll just sit in front of my TV and watch pseudo-real world drama. Deal?
