TV and Video Games.

I am gonna sort of be going into a tad of a rant here. So be warned. Anyway, I love video games, and movies. In fact, I used to be insane about them. My whole life was playing computer games or when I was in school mostly thinking about playing them. Yes, major nerd material, but whatever. I have to admit I wasn't that smart back then,(middle school) but I was always different, and had my own way of thinking. Anyhow, I began to read, and yes, I got smarter, but anyway. I think playing video games or watching TV so much isn't healthy. Maybe 0-3 hours or something after school, but like solid for 6 hours, or every moment of your free time can't be good. I dunno. It seems like there is so much in the world so many interesting things, and chances to experience new stuff, that kind of thing is just a very small portion, yet it totally can control your life. I am not saying that it is bad to play them a lot, but just sometimes people need to get out and be with other people and do stuff. That environment is much more conducive to learning, (or having major good times with cool friends) then TV or video games are. I am not really talking to the majority of people probably more like the hardcore gamer or coach potato. I used to be the hardcore gamer yes. All of my life was that. But ya that was a long time ago, but now I look back, and yes it was fun, but I think I really missed out on some great memories I could have been making with some real people. I am not really saying throw away your TV or anything, just take some time to smell the roses in life. You know go outside and take a walk. *Unless its like 20 below outside like now, and you wish you lived in California or a similar steamy location, on a warm beach, and had a squirrel by your side* Just take some time to explore the other things in life you know sometimes. Anyhow didn't mean to offend someone, or preach or give orders, just my viewpoints and suggestions.
