    After No TV for 6 Months, I’d Still Rather Surf

    Found in Comedy, Surfing,


    So I didn't watch TV for 6 months, outside of a glimpse about once every two weeks, at a channel I didn't get to choose.

    It all started because I refused to buy a converter box. One day, because of governmental forces, I couldn’t watch TV any more. They wanted me to spend $50 on a converter box, and I wasn’t feeling it.

    After the first few months, I wasn’t even interested in watching TV when someone had it turned on at their house. I just wanted to surf, chat with people (people who were sometimes annoyed because they wanted to watch the TV), and blog.

    Blogging is fun. Looking through surfing news is fun, and finding interesting topics to blog about in the surfing world even takes me through some really fun content that has nothing to do with surfing. Like the ninja cat, luxurious prison cells, and the world’s largest tree house.

    I finally got the converter box, mainly because I was curious. What’s new on television after 6 months? How will it affect me?  When I returned to the civilized world after living in Alaska, up by North Pole, after 4 years, the world had a few treats in store for me, and I thought TV might surprise me in the same way.

    When I came back from Alaska, I was surprised to see self-checkout lines in grocery stores, and some things I remembered seemed different: really high bridges scared me. I hadn’t been driving for those 4 years, and even speeds over 55 freaked me out a little. How could people go so fast and not constantly think about how fast they were going and how easily they could die?  Not that sharing land with black bears and moose is much safer.

    Eventually I got used to all of this again.

    Unfortunately there isn’t anything new on TV that convinces me the $50 was worth spending. I’d still rather go surf than sit there and do nothing. The last two nights of flipping channels and checking out the converter box have been the most unproductive nights in the last six months.

    I’m not sure if the TV or the weird blogs (above) is more likely to turn my brain to mush. But eventually I do always find something you’ll like, like this ridiculous picture of people about to get washed away. Yea, this is much better than TV.

    (More below the picture…)

    A few notes:

    1. Follow me on Twitter. I post all kinds of cool stuff there that you won’t see on Texas Surfers. If you like this website, you’ll love my Twitter.

    2. If you’re using Internet Explorer (IE), expand your world and get Firefox. IE is the biggest pain in my side when it comes to developing this website. To be honest, I’m really tired of babying Microsoft and working extra hard to make the website look the same for IE as it does in other browsers, like Firefox. The comments don’t even work in IE, and I’m in no hurry to fix it.

    It’s your experience, improve it with a free Firefox browser.

    3. If you’re using anything other than IE, put a comment on some blogs and tell me what you think about things, good or bad. It’s free of course, and I’ll reply.

    This Guy Plays Guitar for Sharks!




    I tweeted this earlier… you actually get to find out about a lot more really cool stuff by following me on Twitter. I normally don’t post tweets on the website as new blogs, but this is too good to miss. And if I don’t post it, you won’t see it. It’s a guy who plays a water proof guitar under water for sharks.

    Yea, really, so do you see now why I have to post it? It’s unbelievably crazy and entertaining. Watch him in this video; his name is Andy Casagre and he plays a song called, “If I Was a Great White Shark, I Wouldn’t Bite You.”

    Andy is a nice guy. If I was a great white shark, I would totally eat you. You probably want to read more about Andy and see more pictures of him saranading sharks. If so, check it out here.
