Because I’ve been watching a lot of Suze Orman lately, I’ve put myself on a pretty moderate financial diet. And one of my cost-cutting measures includes going back to my roots and getting rid of cable.
Only this time, I have Netflix, my digital Roku player, TiVo for my network shows and a heck of a lot more television on the Internet, so it’s not as scary as it might sound.
Even though our time together was brief in the big scheme of things—I’ve only had cable for about a year and some change—I became acquainted with a lot of television I had been missing.
I bid you farewell VH1, Flavor Flav, Brett Michaels and all the fake hair and nail-sporting spawn your quests for “love” have created. The hours I spent with my boyfriend on the couch, eating pizza meant more to me than you can ever know.
And to you, MTV, I say goodbye as well. Loving to hate those children on Sweet Sixteen and Exiled, while falling in love with the earnest ones on Made, striving to try something new.
Our love was like a candle in the wind. Shhh, don’t speak. I want to remember you just as you are now.
