Stress Free Random Television Thoughts

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Have you ever written a letter to someone with absolutely no intention of sending it, especially since sending said letter would be sure to start world war three?

I did just that the other night, and it felt good. I have a particular stressor in my life and the negative energy and anger that this stressor has been causing needed an escape valve before it impacted other aspects of my life.

This doesn’t mean the stress, or the stressor for that matter, will go away, but have you ever broken the seal on a pressure cooker that has been sitting on stove for hours? That is exactly how writing that letter made me feel. That brief moment of clarity to provide some perspective and clear the recesses of my mind is exactly what I needed.

We just got around to watching the season premiere of the show ‘Leverage’. Since we missed the first season we are playing catch up with the main theme of the show, but what was pretty clear to us is that Leverage is the new A-Team.

If you haven’t watched this show, there is a crazy blonde girl who is essentially Murdock and a brunette that reminds me of Face. Timothy Hutton is the ringleader a la Hannibal and all the show is really missing is B.A. Baracus and a sweet conversion van.

Also, I’m pretty sure I lost my funny bone, as I just can’t get into Michael & Michael on Comedy Central. I tried, I really did, but I changed the channel about half way through the first episode.

Charlotte’s finest recently announced that they cracked a burglary ring that was responsible for a number of break ins last July, the same time that our home was burglarized. They say this ring shipped their scores to New York where they were then exported to Columbia.

So, to the Columbian drug lord who is probably watching my old plasma TV, I hope they threw in some stolen speakers to go with the TV, as it was just a monitor.

You're in Charlotte? I'm in Charlotte! I haven't checked out either show but I may or may not consider them.

Glad you could let off some steam– just hope that you didn't press send by mistake.

I think a lot of shows are remakes of other ones. One would think that all those writers being on strike would give them some new material.

Sounds like you need to join in on my Friday bit Dear So and So… It is a cathartic way to write letters to anyone or anything that pisses you off during the week.

Leverage is on my DVR List.. Last season I equated it to something along the lines of the Ocean's Eleven movies. With the flashbacks and the explanations. But A Team is a great comparison as well. I've also now included Dark Blue to the DVR List as well. Entirely drama and action. No comedy like Leverage or Burn Notice.

Tell him that I hope he likes the shoes and leather jacket that came from my place 20 years ago.

I am sure all the loot from heists around the country all goes to the same drug lord. That guy is always getting good stuff.

Yes, been here almost eight years now…scary to think its been that long already.

That's an excellent point, they had a lot of time to refresh their minds. I've stopped watching a lot of shows lately because the plot lines get recycled from one series to another.

I just might need to do that, I promise not to swear

The Ocean's Eleven comparison is a good one, hadn't thought of that. I've been watching Dark Blue as well. Still having a hard time taking the lawyer from The Practice seriously as a tough guy. Burn Notice is by far my favorite show on TV right now. I like the MacGyver angle it has.

That guy has everything, it just isn't fair. Well, on the bright side at least TV prices came down in the year between purchase and theft. I was able to replace it with LCD.

I DVR Reruns of the Practice as well.. I'm trying to separate the two
characters as well.. : I have only a few shows that I can call my own..
Only one TV to watch them on and five other people to share it with… So I
usually get to watch it at 3:00 in the morning while feeding my baby..

I can so relate to the letter, I have a stressor in my life too that, well, will just never go away! So I have to breath occassionally or scream into a pillow!

Sorry to hear about your tv that totally sucks! Love the name of your blog! Happy RTT!

I almost never watch tv for real anymore, but I'll put it on my list of “tv shows to watch the DVD seasons of after finally getting around to finishing BSG and Dollhouse”.

I think I need to spend less time blogging and more time watching tv, in order to better participate in these discussions…

I somehow have lost control of the TV here too. That's funny, I used to watch all the shows my wife didn't care for about the same time when my little man would get up for either his late night bottle or, now anyway, the teething monster.

I should try that, this person has caused me to break a few phones over the years. Thanks for stopping by!
