Our Direct TV is on the fritz. Due to a serious satellite malfunction, we are going on day six without television. This is especially hard for me because I despise silence and my friend Sony Bravia (we’ll call her Brav for short) is a constant source of background noise.
On day one I deemed the loss of Brav completely unacceptable. After a rescue attempt that would rival any physician in the ER – manual resets, rewiring, the old faithful unplug/plug back in and 45 minutes on the phone with Jermaine from customer service – I was forced to acknowledge defeat and call the time of death.
It is true what they say, time heals all wounds. As the earth continued to spin I found joy in other forms of entertainment.
I learned how to turn people into cartoon characters using photoshop (send me your pics if you want to be morphed).
I went out and bought new kicks in an effort to spur some fitness motivation (see previous post). On a symmetry side note, I also learned that my right foot is almost a full size larger than my left. I blame my father because I was blessed with his feet when the chromosomes separated.
I have been listening to music like it is going out of style and have a newfound love for Tom Petty, who incidentally, is currently playing in the background. ….”I’m learning to fly around the clouds, but what comes up must come down. I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings…(click here for song)”
I have also immersed myself in a book by Judith Orloff, MD that promises to take me on a wonderful journey through the mysteries of energy. Typically, you would never find me reading anything of this sort, but as I mentioned above, Brav has gone away and my horizons have broadened. More to come in a future post on energy vampires and generating positive emotion to counteract negativity.
These past six days have been inspirational, but all good things must come to an end. Direct TV is sending a tech to our place on Wednesday to bring Brav back to life. While I know I that I will embrace the return of her audible and visual talents, moving forward it may not be so hard to use the Power Off button.
