I would say the opposite... if you have nothing better to do than sit at
home & be electronically entertained, then you have a pretty empty life.

Go for a walk! Go to a concert! Go sailing! If you have to stay home &
sit around, read a book...

So what you are saying is that your out and moving all day every day?

A lot of it, yeah. Except when I'm doing other things of course, but in
the last couple days I've been on & off my ship numerous times, back &
forth to town, checking email, building stuff at home (hopefully my
physiotherapist isn't reading this...) and after cooking dinner I read,
generally.

Well
I'm
not. And sometimes I like to watch a movie full of gunfights, aliens and
explosions on my home theater.

Which I find tedious & boring. Most TV is so idiotic that I simply
can't suspend my knowledge of what is known, scientifically, to be
entertained by utter crap. Frankly I regard it as an insult to my
intelligence. When I was in hospital the guy in the next bed was
torturing me by watching TV most of the day. Did that ever give me
incentive to get my ass out of bed and outa there..... even Discovery
Channel was at such a puerile level that it would have been vastly
improved had the soundtrack been deleted.

Sometimes I listen to music on my audio
system.

Which you can do while doing other things.

Sometimes I mess around on the internet. Your obviously electronicly
entertained since your posting on here.

Yep but this is (more or less) an interactive medium. TV isn't. The
last guy who tried to sell me cable was lost for words when I told him
I never watched the free to air channels so why would I want to pay for
40 more channels of crap? As for watching sport, pah. Playing it is one
thing but watching it when you can be doing something else???????
