Moving on

I guess its time for me to stop living in the past, in the eighties.....Sanctuary has changed and I havent.....I hate change.

Dude - plenty of great metal . . . in Europe.

I'm still living in the 80's as well. It was the best time of my life..lol..not really but hind sight kinda forgets stuff.

I was living in the 60's, think I'll scope out the 80's a bit now!

LOL!!

lets just pretend the ninetys havent happened yet lol.

I have blocked the entire disco era from my memory. As for the 90's. I was really not there. After the demise of my band I checked out of music for about 15 years. I only got stuff friends sent me and worship. But I got all the major stuff. It was fun in 2005 when I re-surfaced. There was so much stuff I missed. But in the end, I still love the 80's best.

I was never big into the 60's music, jut The Doors, now that I quit the band.........The Doors are closed!

Speaking of the 80's. Yesterday at the terminal in the workout room I found a channel that made me think not all t.v. is bad.
VH1 classics. Wow!! I watched like 2 hours of 80's videos that brought me back to my childhood. Motley Crue, Poison, Stevie Ray, the list goes on.
I was soooooo into it I did over 3 miles and when I stopped my legs were so wobbly I almost fell over.
Then I watched some of "That Metal Show" If you never saw it go to VH1.com and look it up. That was so good I ended up doing another 1+ on the....I think it's called elliptical. The machine where it looks like you're walking on skis with poles.

But all those old videos were great.

I go to my dads once in a while to watch vh1 classic....to me it isnt classic , its just what should be on MTV lol

The fact that it calls itself 'classic' makes me feel old. I clearly remember when all that WAS all there was on Mtv.
It sure gave me a craving for some hair metal!
Now I am gonna have to watch that channel whenever we get to a terminal cuz I'm usually the only one using the workout room and in the drivers lounge all the drivers are sitting around stuffing their faces watching lame-o stuff on the big t.v.

I can't believe such a cool channel exists!

It allmost makes me want to get a tv.

I know same here and I hate t.v. as much as you do. But damn
we'd need a dish to put on the truck and then I'd have to try and adjust it while we're driving 60 mph down the highway.
yikes! I'll just stick to watching it whenever I can.

Sept 15 im going to start watching THE BIGGEST LOOSER again with my dad weekly. Thats one show i love .

Never saw it.
But there's a lot I've never seen.
??? for you and Victor - do you guys have as hard of a time as I do telling people to make them understand
"I don't watch t.v."
I tell people and they go "O.K." Then like 30 seconds later "You know on (fill in name of show) and there's that one guy who...?" or start talking about last weeks episode and you just look at them all crazy and have to repeat but louder and slower
" I....DON'T.....WATCH.....T.V. YOU KNOW THAT BOX???WITH THE MOVING PICTURES???? I DO NOT.....WATCH...IT"

I never have a problem with making others understand why I dont have a tv...I go into detail about why I dont have one, they stand there with their mouth open or storm away in a politically correct rage.

I think that people have a hard time taking me seriously sometimes. I think it's partly to do with the fact of how I look (sometimes colored hair, short, tattoos, female) and partly because I have a small voice. I kinda sound Barbie-ish.
Marcia says I sound kinda like Lia so if anyone has heard her you kinda know what I sound like.

But I tell people the t.v. is filled with propaganda and it rots your brain and turns you into a conformist zombie (the bad kind of zombie) for the mainstream media.

hehe I pictured you to have a tiny voice for some reason. I dont know why.

I never realized how little my voice was til Steven was playing a voice memo he had recorded and I was in the background and I'm like
"Who is that in the background?"
He was like "Uh, you"

You'd think by my age I would have heard my own voice before. I guess it's cuz I never set up a voicemail box or answering machine.

I just had a mental picture of this little blue haired zombie standing at half my height, stomping around screaming about marketing and selling out and all such bad things.
That's great...

Yup you got it. :p

I always make sure I never throw in
"I don't watch t.v. at all and look at me - I'm perfectly fine!"

I've been watching less tv lately, so much porn on it today! I mean even on regular shows, almost every sitcom has to do w/sexual immorality in some way, and it is made light of. I think one of the most godly shows ever was the Twilight Zone!

I did notice that. I mean I do sometimes end up in the terminal and the t.v. is on and the kinda stuff on regular shows can definitely pass for soft core porn. People showing waaay too much skin, talking openly about sex. And I only am wal king through the room seeing this.

Do you really think Twilight Zone was godly? I mean, nothing bad happened and there was always a message. I grew up watching the re-runs of that show when I was little.
I actually read in an article written by a pastor that the downfall of t.v. truly began when Murphy Brown (my mom watched that show) decided to be a single mother.

I remembered when that happened. I also remember when you wasnt allowed to say the word diahreah on the television.
My reasons for not watching it is more activist in nature. Those behind the major media sources , mags, books, news, tv, is the ones I dont trust and for good reason. They are of their father.

I was actually watching an episode of the match game from the 70's and they bleeped "fart ". Now you can say the
B word, A but not a hole. I mean, really!!
