I can live without cable television

Recently, I rented a room at the Comfort Inn hotel. Now, I'm not a person who usually has reasons to rent a hotel but the hotel was pretty cool. It had free internet access and cable television.

I know cable television is a must have with most people but for me it is just not. Don't get me wrong here, when I turned on the T.V. it was pretty cool seeing some old retro television shows that I haven't seen for a long time like The Jefferson's, Good times, and a few good movies like Jessica Alba's 'Into the Blue.'

Most of the time when I was there though it seemed like I spent more time searching the channels looking for something to watch than I actually spent watching. There were just so many channels, hundreds and hundreds of them. Now, I'm used of channel 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 - that's it! OK, yeah, we have all those higher channels of regular TV but half of those are in Spanish and the other ones are hardly television.

My point here is that I can live without cable television and probably prefer life without so many channels. Someone I know recently told me that the more channels you have, the less there is to watch. She was right! Really, who in the hell needs 500 or 600 channels!
