Honestly, I don't watch much, I won't allow my self to get sucked into T.V. world, so when I watch, it will be random and maybe to catch a new show I heard about, or something. The Wayans were my therapy in college,Sat. Night Live, FAME, M*A*S*H (usually have to fight to watch it, others always objected), and The Twilight Zone (If I ever "had my own show". I like cartoons. My over all theory about T.V. is, don't sit around and watch others live out their dreams when you can be utilizing the time to pursue your own dreams.

People who see the light no matter how dark it is, people who are strong enough to forgive, love although they've been hurt, give out of their need, who know how to laugh at themselves (laugh at me, laugh with me, I love it). People who keep on moving despite the obstacles and distractions, people who recognize their priveledge, people who can co-exist with others who differ in beliefs and practices, people who give respect automatically (you never know what one has gone through, it's cruel for them to have to prove themselves to you by suffering further)people who give our creator his due glory.
