one thing i've learned & continue to learn: this life is not mine own or about our version of the end result but joyfully & painfully about the transformation process

so long cable, it's been fun

i convinced myself, followed by alana, that we should cancel our cable...

for me, i've been considering this decision for the past few weeks for several reasons:
1) i've been spending way too much time at the apartment in front of the tv when i could be spending my time more effectively by reading, meditating, spending time in prayer, running, etc.
2) i financially can use the $50 a month a lot more efficiently in savings for a mission trip, beach trip, bills, food, etc
3) sorry cable companies, most of the channels you make me pay for i don't ever watch or have any interest in watching & the shows i do have an interest in can be seen via the internet.

when we first moved in last july we waited until september before we had our cable set-up so we've done it before so we hopefully can make it through the summer & into the fall until the need for cable potentially comes again. but until then alana & i will enjoy all 10 seasons of friends, some dawson's creek & what other tv show dvds we rent/borrow.

stay tuned for future updates on our life w/ no cable
