Kill My Television

Ok, you know those bumper stickers and whatnot that say, "Kill Your Television!" I think it might actually be a good idea if someone killed my television. It is too distracting to me. I get involved watching perfectly horrible shows instead of doing chores I should be doing and instead of doing other things which are actually more enjoyable like reading, listening to music, talking to friends on the phone, etc. So please, someone stop by and kill my television. I won't report you.

Also, Charlestown is a freaking mess. Yesterday someone was trying to escape (I think from the crime scene) in a stolen SUV and cops shot him. Guess where this was? Oh yeah, about 3 blocks from my house. Nice neighborhood. But wait, you say, isn't Charlestown an expensive city neighborhood? Aren't there a lot of nice townhouses there? Isn't it historic and nice?

  1. Yes it's expensive but that doesn't mean anything. Everything is expensive.
  2. Yes, there are a lot of nice townhouses. And yuppies live in them. And there are a lot of crappy apartments. And I live in one and other, less pleasant people also live in them. And shoot each other.
  3. Parts of it are historic and nice. Other parts are total crap.

Since it's such a small place I'd say the end result is that even the nice places are too close to the crap places, so just steer clear altogether. Sorry, Charlestown. I'm sure you used to be a nice neighborhood in some respects but now you just have two polar opposites living there and I can't take it anymore. Get me out! Send me back to Somerville! Or Cambridge! I'd even almost go back to Brighton! Hard to believe, I know.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
