favorite media
My favorite form of media is television. The purpose of television is multifold: to educate, to entertain, to inform. I use the tv to do all three of these things. If the television was taken away, I would miss many things. I wouldn't like it I just couldn't sit down and take a load off. Sometimes after a long day I just want to watch tv, and if I couldn't do it I'd be upset, but find alternate things to do. I would miss the fact that tv is a social tool. Gathering together and watching sporting events and other television shows doesn't happen often, but frequent enough that it is important. I watch the tv for the news, and without it, I'd have to scan the AM dial on the radio to get the news. All in all, the television is something that I could live without, but life would be a lot more inconvenient.
Media Checklist
1. It varies, but I would say about once per day. I would say that I call my parents the most often.
2. I went to a medical conference with my dad in Pittsburgh. He is a physician, and the speaker talked about the dangers of cigarettes.
3. I use IM very frequently, perhaps probably too much. I chat frequently with Katie Reesey and Jeremy Alberth, both Westminster College students.
4. I check my email every day, and I'd say I send an average of about one message per day.
5. I paid for a CD that I purchased in the Shenango Valley mall.
6. The AFC Championship game. I wanted to see if Peyton Manning could finally take his team to the Super Bowl.
7. I recorded the game show "Deal or No Deal", because I enjoy watching the excitement and anticipation of average people risking large amounts of money.
8. In the theater I most recently saw Rocky. On DVD it was the Wizard of Oz.
9. The last radio station that I listened to was Titan Radio, because it has good music and is one of few FM stations that get quality reception in this area.
10. The last book I read was called Strange Son. It is about a mother with an autistic son, and I wanted to learn more about the mysterious disorder.
11. I read the Sharon Herald yesterday morning. I just wanted to get a beat on what is going on in this community, as well as the community in which I live.
12. A few years ago I paid for a subscription for Sports Illustrated.
13. As funny as this may sound, I don't think I've ever handwritten a letter and sent it in the mail!
14. The International Trombone Association. I play the trombone, and on this website there is useful information on it.
15. I have Facebook and Myspace, but don't blog on either of those. My only other blog is this one here. I use Myspace and Facebook to keep in touch with people, and to contact others that I haven't spoken to in a long time.
