Sometimes I Feel Left Out Because I Don’t Watch The Big Shows

Sometimes I feel left out because I hear everybody talking about whatever show happens to be the big thing at that particular time. I don’t watch Game of Thrones, True Blood, True Detective, or whatever it happens to be at the given moment. People seem to practially devote their lives to these things, and I almost never know what the heck they’re talking about. How could I not feel left out.

However, make no mistake that I’m considering actually watching the respective show when I feel this way.

For one thing, some of these shows are ones that I definitely wouldn’t like. True Blood, from what I understand, involves vampires. I am utterly sick of vampires. Ain’t gonna watch it.

Beyond that, and some of the shows are likely very good, I immediately think how much time any of these shows would require. No matter which show it is, we’re talking about a huge block of time. I already somewhat pick my clothes in the morning at random because I’m unwilling to devote enough time to put real thought into it. Where the heck would I get enough time to watch a totally new TV show?

No, I occasionally feel left out, but that’s where I’m going to stay. I may be missing out, but I’ll be missing out on something else if I tune in. At this point, everything is a tradeoff. Everything has a cost.
