Replay TV is of the devil

Menards sucks...I spent 1/2 hour trying to find the a number of things that I know I could have found in Home Depot in 15 min...The only reason I went to Menards was because I had this $5 rebate coupon that was going to expire...last time I ever go there again. Aisles are too small, junk sitting around all over the place, and inadequete salespeople on the floor (although in fair defense, this happens at Home Depot as well)

I was discussing a situation with my sister...How do you bow out gracefully from a relationship that you know is not going to go anywhere? i.e. there is this girl that I had been pursuing for the last couple of months, and we have talked for a while. We went on our first date, and it was fun, but I don't know if it was because of the venue or the company. We had good conversation, but it wasn't necessarily stimulating to me...so what now? Do I call her back, and just be friends? Or do I just not call her. My first instinct is to not call her, but that seems pretty inconsiderate. But on the otherhand, if the conversation is going to be a "let's be friends" conversation, wouldn't it be better not to have it at all? As you can tell, I haven't gone out on dates that much outside of my long-term relationships...so this "dating" scene is a little new to me...

After my conversation with my sister, I was sitting around and watching TV again, when I realized that I have now become a statistic...You remember that statistic about the average american and how much they watch TV? I'm starting to realize how much TV I watch, and that it has become the de facto source of entertainment for me. This is an eye opener, and realizing that the Replay TV unit that I have has contributed to it as well. I need to reverse this trend, as I don't want to see america get to the point where people don't interact with each other in a physical way, and that we do it all through the TV, email, IRC, or other virtual ways of communications...I think that it is good to have these modes of communication, but if it prevents you from meeting your neighbor, or hang out at a local bookstore, renewing friendships that are right in front of you, then I think you need to get out more... Now if I can follow my own advice.. :)
