Books-djing-records-plus art will be my steez for the rest of the month. The sopranos( fuck u, chase!) are over , and entourage has been on some bullshit lately.The nba finals are wack. Baseball, I use to watch it as a kid - I still keep up with scores and players, but not religiously, and football season is 2 months away....so I think I can go without the tube for at least a month. However, my xbox madden addiction is something serious, as well as fight night, halo and nba live...those are the only games I play. Yo, suggest some great books to read . Im currently reading SCIENCE OF THE MIND by Ernest HolmesAlso, what do you think about the harry potter collection? I read one book out of the whole collection, but I felt rather kid-like after I read it...like a bad after taste.

it shuould keep you busy all month.
"...wait and hope"
That being said I say get familiar with the books of Denis Johnson, "Jesus Son" is a favorite of mines and also a great movie too
For books, reading "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman" would be a good idea. Richard Feynman has all kinds of crazy stories, makes you wonder why you watch TV at all.
All for musical productivity this summer!!
Definitely in my top 10, and I read a lot. It's a perfect book to ease yourself into a month of reading, too... very slim volume, but every word is riveting and perfectly chosen.
good luck man, i'm sure you're going benefit big time from this. sure, sometimes you get a little
ez.
I'll still watch shit on my lap top (like movies, etc)and tune into the net, but for the most part Im going to take a rest
Im not sure if you guys are up on this, but I have not paid for a ppv event in months because I use sopcast and myp2p. I get to see recent movies, england soccer matches, mma( im a boxing purist, though).....bascially its a point 2 point network that allows you to connect to broadcasting channels overseas. There are several different front-end video players you can use to do this, or you can just tune in through a web-based front-end video player

good looking out, I'm feeling this
Dude, we need to get on the ball with what we were talking about....connect this weekend?
I did enjoy this book (although he's preaching to the coverted in my case), but it didn't 100% satisfy me. I felt like it would offer a more comprehensive Atheism 101 handbook than it did... as it is, I'm not sure it's a book I would hand off to a religious person to give them a better understanding of my non-belief -- which is the function I was hoping it would serve.
New episodes out.
Hold on...hold on.....let's not do anything rash here.
Hah, nice avatar!
I half expected the squirrel to bust out a mini six-shooter goin all Charlie Bronson... pretty sure there's a shot exactly like that in one of those Leone flicks...
Hey, better the devil you know than.......no TV. [shameless plug]Ever consider watching PBS?[/shameless plug]
Me too.
you people make me sick
I don't know but I'm currently working with a childhood idol
Kubiak from Parker Lewis Can't Lose
and Kubiak only makes quality
No offense to no one,[/b] but if you're tired of TV, one word: DO IT IN MODERATION OR NOT AT ALL. No one chained you to the set, no one put a pistol to your head to watch King Of Queens.
This reminds me of those self-righteous "I'm quittin' record collecting" threads that turn up on Soul Strut every now and then, and now here's the television equivalent. If you're minimizing TV, fine, but no need to get all preachy and kum-ba-ya about it, jes' do your thing!
You live in a safer, and no doubt happier world than I.
Such a great book! huge cosign
All I know is, funk paying money for TV.
Don't you yanks get like 20 normal channels anyway? Gees, we have 5 here and I still wouldn't dream of paying for foxtel. The way I look at it is, if you start paying for TV, you're gonna feel like you should watch more often just to get your money's worth.
