'nother old writing :)

This one is from when I was eight! I laughed so hard, I can't even sit straight. I was so arrogant! There are some grains of truth in the following, hehe, but it's mostly just made up facts. ;)

"Do you know what tv can do to your brain? Well, I'm here to tell you the truth. When you sit down to watch tv, your brain gets sucked in and it's very hard to stop. I once saw a commercial where as a young boy grew older, he got mad when it was time to eat dinner. You have to get cable, the commercial said. Not! It's just something we want! We don't necessarily need cable. In 1945 people got along fine without cable. You can just read a book. Now, I'm not saying I never get sucked in, or never even watch tv, I just diceplene myself, and don't watch it very often. Once you begin to watch tv, your mind becomes blank and uncontrollable cause it doesn't have to work. Especially if you watch more than 30 min. before school. Most tv is junk. If you watch junk tv, it's like eating junk food. Soon your brain gets so filled up and bursting with junk tv, it can only think junky thoughts. A foolish man despises someone who criticizes him, but a wise man loveth those who criticize him. I'm  not trying to criticize any people that watch tv, I'm just proving a point. When some of my friends dads walk me home from playing at their house, they usually talk about how my mom hardly ever lets us watch tv. They say: A man must have his tv. We have to have it to play our important football games. Actually, they can live without it and it's not important. Does your dad when he comes home from work plop down on the lazy boy chair and flip on the tv? Most dads do. My mom teases my dad when we run that he only stretches like this. (picture of channel changing) So I persuade you to listen with both your ears to my convenient smart advice and when you feel the immediate urge to watch tv to just read a book."
