Thank You Netflix Streaming

There's always something to watch. I find a season or entire series of a show and watch it whenever I have down time. I pause it if I need to do something, then I come back to it when I need another little break. In any room of the house pretty much. No pressure.

It's to the point where I almost feel burdened by regular TV. Even when I watch something on DVR, meaning I can skip the commercials, I don't have the same relaxed feeling I get when I watch something on streaming. Is it laziness? Perhaps. But maybe it's more because I can't watch the next episode right away if I want to.

It's been weeks, maybe months, since I've flipped through the channels to see what's on. I think it's just that I know pretty much the schedule of programming that I don't want to waste my time. I'll watch the shows I'm devoted to when they have a new episode (e.g. HIMYM), but other than that, it's Netflix all the way.

I Need This

This meaning This blog.

It's needed because it reminds me that no matter what my troubles or concerns are, this blog was there when I was going through worse. And it was there when people I cared about were going through worse. And it shows that things got better.

About an hour ago, I tried to help someone close to me who's having a difficult time.

I said:
"I believe in you
and if things don't turn out the best
just try and put it in perspective
and figure out your next move"

Then just a few minutes before starting this post I came to the realization that my personal adage for a while has been something like that, though I didn't know it:

"Prepare for the worst, but always believe in the best"

And that's when I remembered my blog.

I'm sorry smile. it's another day. I haven't abandoned you. I've just been on a hiatus.
