The end of this year marks the 4th anniversary of having no cable. More importantly, it also marks the 4th anniversary of going steady with my wife. These two landmarks of my life are indeed connected. You see, there was a stipulation to the two of us living together that was declared by my girlfriend at the time. We could live together, yes. We could have a TV, yes. But! No cable TV!
Now for a young man who spent his young Saturdays watching 10 hours (I am not kidding!) of pro wrestling on various channels, my universe was shaken. It caused a great debate and almost a small rift in our families because of this demand. But my wife was and is hot and I had to other option and I had to take the risk!
And four years later, whenever I go back to my folks place, I am shocked to see them watch the exact same shows they have been watching since the dawn of the year 2000! I have missed nothing. Absolutely nothing. Same shows. Same actors. Survivor is still on. Unbelievable!
DO YOU STILL HAVE CABLE? IF YOU DON'T, DO YOU MISS IT?
