The Bad Side of Television

 TV shows need to stop renewing seasons. I don’t mean to say that we should stick to one season stories, instead writers, directors and producers should stick with their original plan. Every time I hear that a shows been renewed due to popular demand a shiver runs down my spine. More often than not this means more filler content is coming out, and it ensures an unsatisfying ending. These strong feelings of renewal were instilled within me by Grey’s Anatomy, The Black List, and Criminal Minds. At some point it is time to call it quits, there is nothing of substance going on in these shows. It’s not so bad that it’s good, it’s just dreadfully boring.


Another crime of television was Game of Thrones. The story started off one way and ended up in another planet. HBO wanted to add more seasons and the writers said no, they just wanted to move on to their next project but for some reason refused to hand it over to someone else. Why would every single character survive a war against the undead in a show notorius for character deaths? Given the budget, and the complex world the show had many good seasons to give and expecting a decent ending wouldnt be unrealistic. Even the characters became something other than themselves. And this curse will befall House of the Dragon as well because season 2 is being filmed while a writers strike is going on.


One other thing I hate in the bubble of TV: streaming services. In the beginning it was pushed as innovative because you are paying for one service and getting all these shows. With cable on the other hand you had to pay for a bunch of channels you dont watch just for one channel you are going to watch. Now, the service has evolved backwards with Netflix, HBOmax, Disney+ and so on offering the same thing cable did. A bunch of subscriptions. A netflix monopoly wouldnt have been great but I think in the midst of fighting to grab some of the profits the companies lost sight of the main point. 


All in all TV just has a bunch of bad things. I still watch it (not on a streaming service) because theres a bunch of good things about it as well.

My Fat Loss Journey

Introduction  Some say the greatest punishment was given to Sisyphus by Zeus to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity but I’d say that it pales in comparison to what an obese person has to go through in their everyday life. Being obese from an early age, I don’t know or remember what it feels like to be thin, to be normal. I have always been this overweight kid my whole life- being bullied by my peers, being poked at by “friends” and strangers alike. The Struggles of Obesity I never felt comfortable in my skin in public. I wore clothes to hide my flaws, and my insecurities and not to bring out my strengths as I felt like there were none. I wore clothes that were two sizes bigger for me so that when my belly bulges out, it isn’t very noticeable. The situation got worse during COVID-19 where I gained over 20 kilograms in two years due to binge eating and lack of physical activity. I don’t know which was worse- my mental state or my physical health. Depression and obesity is not a combina

A series that tells a story about the most powerful RING from Middle-earth.   The Lord of the Ring is a film series, won 17 Oscars in total, directed by Peter Jackson, based on the novel of English writer and philologist J.
