on being one

I would rather be a bad painter, a bad dancer than watch TV. I would rather enact a small play, playing all the characters myself :), than watch some boo-hoo-hoo soaps on TV. I would rather walk alone alongside the river than sit on the couch and watch national geographic for hours on TV. I would rather learn skating, play a very very bad squash, than watch sports on TV.
