Greetings from Nigeria readers! I’m starting 2012 in a
different country and have spent the last week eating, catching up with family
and doing all the things I usually do when I’m on vacation. But this trip home
is a little different from others as I mentioned (click here) because I’m not
visiting for a few days; I’m going to be here for a few months. Since I don’t
want to be a lazy fuck who sits on my ass all day and gets fat, my vacation is
over. I’m rested, my blackberry service is up and running and I’m ready to
start some sort of a normal schedule.
So I told myself I wasn’t going to do this because my time
could be put to better use but I’ve spent the last four hours trying to stream
an episode of “The Vampire Diaries” on my laptop.
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
January is kind of a big deal for the TV addict. Last week
shows started airing new episodes and I’m missing everything! I’m missing
mid-season premieres and series premieres. I’m missing Twitter convos and
EW.com and Gawker.com recaps because I REFUSE to go on any sites that may have
spoilers. I’m missing phone conversations about “Revenge” with Johanna and
texts to Viv about every ridiculous reality television show airing because she
gets as much pleasure from seeing people act stupid as I do. Don’t get me started
on missing “The Bachelor”. I know it’s shit but it’s shit I enjoy and my Monday
nights feel so empty without it.
So I’m up trying to stream an episode of TVD just so I know
I can.
I know people live without American television all over the
world and they are happy human-beings but I can’t help but feel incomplete now.
How has 2012 been for you so far?
