I can not believe how much I identify with your post! I am canceling my cable today.

Thanks for sharing!

I think that your determination is commendable despite of a couple of slipbacks occasionally. Knowing that I will get hooked to animes, I avoid watching them when possible. This reminds me of my attempt of be a vegan; I gave myself excuses like “Oh it’s just this one time. I won’t eat the meat again.” Then I read this 13-year-old’s blog who’s so determined and passionate about being a vegan, that I decided to hang up that meat chopper and be a vegan. Right now I’m starting small by allowing myself to eat milk + egg, but I hope to gradually abstain from them too.

Here’s my entry on why and how I’m going to stay as a vegan: http://wimbleyfoo.blogspot.com/2010/08/7-days-without-meat.html

Rory-

I moved to Southern California back in November and decided not to get a TV upon my arrival. I moved with 3 suitcases and started fresh. I could watch hours of Bravo reality TV and the E channel, but honestly, I like my TV-free life now. It is nice, and I have a lot more time for running, cooking, relaxing, and talking with my partner. :)
I might have to write a blog post about this as well.

Great post!

It’s as if you were speaking straight from my brain! I HATE that I’m a TV addict. I’ve been trying to cut down forever, I’m always trying, and then I get sucked into one silly show or another. I wish I could just hold on to Glee and SYTYCD and nothing else! We are moving soon and I’ve been begging my husband to agree to us not getting cable. & TiVo is the worst, you never miss an episode so you get even further addicted! Damn technology! I need a support group or a no TV sponsor…

Way to go. Your life will get better. I cut my cable in 2005 and my life has only improved.

I am 30 years old and have been TV free since October 1998. You are doing yourself a favor. It permeates so much in life that its not like you won’t ever see it again. Friends and family will ALWAYS have that damn box on ruining holidays and special occasions. The hardest part about being TV free is trying to entertain friends at your house.

Cable is not my dilemma. But, it never has been. I just don’t care for some reason about TV, and will watch it if there is a chance, but really don’t remember the last time I did. Facebook on the other hand is my weakness. I’m on it all the time. Who thinks a cancellation is necessary?

My boyfriend and I are going to turn off our cable. I’m freaking out but trying to ignore it. I’m focusing on how much money we are saving. That with that movie we can go camping more often. We can have more peace of mind and more time to grow closer. Not having a TV will be awesome I just know it.

I just have to keep telling my self that.
