TV the TV SPEAKS

for those of you who know me, I loath television

I got more channels than sense, but I never watch them, but yet I still watch shows and movies but people would often say "you are still watching tv then ?"

and heres what I do, instead of watching the cable the satalite even the standard channels, which i pay for all year

Or struggle to fit in a particular hour for that 1 gleaming show I want to watch I simply download it

saves soo much bother plus the added bonus, no channel hoping to mindless opera based shows, no adverts

how many people get depressed, annoyed or plain uncomfortable when they see kids adverts or adverts with old people drinking cola and riding skateboards, or the usual give money to such and such a cause

Let me count oh 1, 2,3, 12, 36 yep a lot of peeps seem to dislike them more than me


I feel of late there is a good deal of good shows yet we also have more rubbish on tv than ever before that people prefer to watch

I watch Dexter they watch Pop Idol
I watch Lost they watch Opera
I watch L word they watch Touched By an Angel
I watch Heroes they watch Eastenders

the list goes on and on and on

but seriously would YOU prefer to watch Eastenders with there depressing outlook on life, or captivating show with an actual plot

dont get me wrong trash tv is trash tv, and i love my trash tv, but most of the trash tv, is not even up to any standard

the pop idol and there 12 spin off's or so are Painfull at best, anytime i see the roommates watch it i FLEEE with my dinner to the other room

Opera and the other talk shows are the bane of my existance, and the existance of chubby folk everywhere, never has a show given bad advice to the mass's

and again the list goes on

I am so inclined to make a list of shows i consider worthy of someones time and why

Lesbains Computers and why I hate Budget Homebuilt PC's

Back a Few years ago a friend of mine "charlene" and her girlfriend "Teri" asked me, "dear aramis build us a pc"
we need it for work, so against my recommendations and without consulting Teri fully with my recommendations she went with the uber budget pc

Now ladies and gents, and to all those of you who "cheap out" as i call it, spending that £100 less can cost you dearly a poor power supply saves you £30 to £50 but if it explodes "which cheap ones have a habit of doing" then well it could cost you a lot more than £100 you initially cut out of your budget

it has been 3 years since they bought that pc for £300, and i have spent an additional £60 on repairs "my gift to them" and i had to reduce the memory, and it still works pretty poorly and charlene has since left her now x girlfriend with the computer and the initial bill, how so nice of her

Though i feel Teri took it out of guilt, it has been handy to her but It still underperforms

being as they were both close friends i gave the pc "at no cost, pay later encase your wondering" but now recently I have decided to completely replace the budget crap components, coz i feel Teri should not get the Computer Pains from the decision of her now X Girlfriend

More so since I am more close friends with Teri and disasociate away from charlene "my choice" I decided for a early Christmas gift i will turn Teri's crappy sempron 1.6ghz with a tiny amount of rubbish memory and a ok 200gb maxtor hard drive into

a athalon 3200 2.ghz with a new asus motherboard, and 1gb of ocz memory and a full media centre setup along with a 320gb western digital sata

but i feel compelled to keep the old case, maybe im feeling sentimental in my old age

some of you may wonder whoah powerful pc "filled with sarcasm" but considering the low spec it was before it is a far better upgrade, along with reliable parts, not to mention free

and lets be honest who needs a more powerful pc for work and movies than this ?

But if this was a server for a company or someones vital work pc, it would be under performing, have more down time than should ever be acceptible, 5 reinstalls and finally no less than 30 painfull hours of my life

think about it this way, if they were not my friends thats £15.00 per hour or £150 per job, or £90 per reinstall

talk about some serious doh
