TV break-up (part 1, heartache)

Do I need TV? Do you need TV? What does cable television add to your life? Do you love TV? If you could, would you marry TV and have lots of odd-shaped, HD-ready babies?

I grew up with a TV in my bedroom, and a video game controller in my eager little hands. I was not one of those lazy Dorito-hording monsters, but it is safe to say that I developed some very nasty habits in my younger years. When I grew up (got older), the TV would be on when I got home from class or work. I would watch while I was eating, resting, cleaning, cooking, whatever... it was almost always on. My TV developed a personality, and SHE was my companion, my rock, we shared many special moments together, I... loved my TV (hang on, I'm tearing up a bit... OK), she was always there for me.

Making-out with her was difficult, but doable, just as long as I remembered to unplug her first. And she was sexy, you should have seen her when she was new. She was a smoking hot 36x24x36, with huge (picture) tubes and plenty of high-def ports for me to plug my peripherals into.

I am sad to report, though, that my reliable, loving friend and I had a falling out. After deep thought and consideration earlier this year, I broke up with her. It was difficult, and painful, but I felt that it was just something that I had to do. I was changing, growing up, and all she ever wanted to do was stay home and watch movies or play video games. I wanted to write more, travel more, become a better photographer, and simply allow myself to be in my own thoughts more, without her trying to distract me with her incessant chatter. I tried to explain my feelings to her. I tried to let her down easy, but she just didn't seem to understand. So, finally, I just did it; I made a phone call, and then I disconnected her cable.

Just like that, it was over.

Her lifeless body still resides in my living room, which is slightly creepy late at night, but she's too damn heavy to move (and I can't play Donkey Konga without her). So she remains, in a quieter, more peaceful state.

Could you do it?
