Ι can't describe the feeling of walking while holding a brand-new tv set package.I don't think I've ever felt that silly in my life. I've only experienced it once, and I'm sure I don't want to feel like this again. Now, the only thing that comes to my mind when seeing a television (especially those big,3D, LED,HQ,HD,Smart blablablabla ones that are really useful if you want to make your neighbour jealous of you). When I grow up and have my own home, I will have no television. Well, possibly I will not even have a home- I'll be living in a tent or something.
The day we bought the tv - the new one, because the one we had was more than 20 years old, I was feeling really sad. I thought that my parents concluded that we needed a new tv because the warmth of love in our home is not enough to fill our days with colours, so we need a bright new television, with better sound and graphics, with more cool features, a bigger one, (just like the one that all our friends have)in order to feel happy. And, there comes to my mind those words written on a wall "Coloured tv, black and white life". True wisdom.
The funny thing is, my parents agreed with those words in that wall. They also said that there's nothing good to watch in tv-it's a box of lies. But when I reminded them their words they said "Come on, you like movies, don't you?"
Yes, I do. But the movies are like don't fit in such screens. It would be ironic to watch "Requiem for a dream" in a last techology television. It's a clearly anti-tv (and anti-drugs) movie. Also, watching movies about poverty ("Bread and roses") or freedom ("the wave", "dead poet's society") in an expensive new tv is contradictory.
Well anyway, we did buy that fucking tv. At least it wasn't as luxourus as I was affraid it would be, but still, it was as if we were welcoming a dangerous stranger in our home. The whole afternoon my parents and my sister were trying to make it work while I was listening to music and painting. I really wanted to play some board games with them, laugh together and tell them how much I love them all ,because -for some reasons that I'll mention in another story- they're almost everything I have. They had promised me that when they finish with it all, we will watch my favourite movie.
We never watched that movie though, because they were all to tired to care after they finished.
I'm not know for my good advice, but, if you want a colourfull life, keep away from televisions.

Melodramatic, yes, I know...
