There has to be value

I thought I might chronicle some of my adventures in self employment but just little glimpses here and there because lets be honest, I’ll never keep up.

In the couple weeks that I have been settling into my own routine I’ve noticed more clearly than usual that I’m addicted to watching movies and TV Shows. The second I finish one show I find another. Thanks Netflix. Right now it is Happy Endings.

It does me no good though, it takes me away from focusing and thinking about what needs to be done. So here is what I’m going to do. I can’t quit cold turkey but I’m going to challenge myself to only watch Documentaries. Movies that will educate me and make me think.

This is not unlike my no TV February I did a couple years ago.

John Goodman on Community is Awesome

I became a fan of the TV Show Community in June when a friend showed it to me on Netflix. I have also been a fan of John Goodman since the Flinstones and Rosanne.

Now the two have come together in EPICNESS. I love this trailer and I think I’m going to love his character.

Watch it and tell me how good it is!

Remembering those Childhood TV Shows

For some reason this afternoon the Skinnamarink song came into my head. You know the one song by Sharon, Lois and Bram from back in the day. For some reason that I’m not going to understand it did, I was sing along in my head, Skinnamarinky dinky dink, shinnamarinky doo, and so on. So what did I do next, well I went to Twitter to ask if anyone else remembered them. The response was intense. I was recieving replies every 5 seconds, I couldn’t keep up.

Friends were singing along, reliving old memories. Then Brent broke out the Youtube videos of some of the old shows we all use to watch. Then the memories really started to come back. Sharon, Lois and Bram, The Polka Dotted Door, Today’s Special. Here are some of the videos.

It was nice to escape reality for a moment and relive some memories. I miss them. I also don’t think children’s shows today are anything like those ones.

What are some memories you have of tv shows from your childhood?
