I have
discovered that I am spending less time at the computer these days. Oh, I haven’t dropped any of my blogs, but
have decided that reading each and every article is a colossal waste of time,
time that I have precious little of these days.
You see, I
am in the last trimester of life, the 60 to 90 years. I don’t want to waste any of it reading the
New York Times, the Washington ComPost or Politico. And I will add a few others to the heap as I
go on, as most of my morning blogs are just re-published articles from other sources.
I really
don’t care if Kim Kardashian has had an ass lift, why one of my favorite
character actors is now working at WalMart or if Carrie Fischer has had a heart
attack. She has done enough cocaine to
kill a horse and done enough men to start her own whorehouse.
No, I try to
focus on the news as if it’s news. Not
some rehashed, regurgitation of the old news. If I wanted to read old news, I would
subscribe to any of the above.
I like new
news, human interest stories, facts about events of the past and anything said
by Donald Trump, because it isn’t first filtered through the lens of the
MSM. I’m not much on predictions but if
I were going to predict anything, it would be the demise of Big Media. Fox being the lone broadcast giant telling us
what is really going on in world events.
Beyond the
news is entertainment. We have a few
favorite TV dramas, some of which have been terminated by Gay sex, Global
Warming and bad jokes about Trump and Bush. But we have gravitated to British
dramas and a few (and not so political) PBS period dramas. Lots of eye candy and well produced, well-acted
parts.
CNN, MSNBC
and ABC are gone. NBC and CBS are
delivering only 4 shows that we record and play back to avoid the commercials. Roku, Netflix, Amazon Video among others are the staple of our viewing experience.
We will not
be the first, and most certainly not the last to make these changes, but we are
really enjoying the TV experience.
WE are in control now.
