dish network channels 04 by Articles Exposed

I was determined not to get dish network TV, although most of my friends already had it. After all, it had taken me years to break my addiction to cable TV. I used to sit there, zoned in front of the TV for hours at a time every day. I would not exercise, I would not read, and I would not even play music ? my lifetime passion. Now that I had no TV in my house, I was a happier healthier person. Nevertheless, I eventually fell prey to high definition TV ? we all do. The great variety of dish network channels pulled me in, much to my chagrin.
There are just so many dish network channel choices, and they are so brilliantly colorful. There are dish network local channels, food channels, action channels, music channels ? you name it and there are probably a dozen of them. I was simply dazzled by the variety that there was. I started looking at dish network channels while I was hanging out at a friend's house one time. I figured that it wouldn't kill me to flip channels for a few minutes, but a few minutes quickly turned to a few hours. He gave me this creepy, knowing smile and said ?I knew that you would become one of us one day?.
Of course he was only joking, But for me it was very serious. A few weeks after getting the dish network channels installed, I noticed a drop off in some of my activities. I wasn't practicing every day anymore, I missed a few gym appointments, and I was less socially outgoing than before. I dismissed it as a short-lived fascination with my new toy that would be gone in a few weeks, but when a few weeks came and went, I wasn't so sure anymore. Perhaps I really had been a sucker. Perhaps I had traded my freedom and self expression for a zombie-making machine.
Ultimately, I decided to do a test. I decided to give up dish network channels for a week to see if I could. I didn't even make it through a whole day. In the evening, you see, there was a dish network show that I really wanted to watch on. I rationalized it all the way to the point of actually turning on the TV. I came up with bogus reasons to be in the living room, bogus reasons to sit down on the couch, and bogus reasons to pick up the remote. I was so addicted to dishnetwork channels that I trick myself into watching it!
