It doesn't matter what I am doing, I can always find a way to amuse myself. You can put me in a room with nothing but a hair binder and I will be content. Not only am I easily amused, but sometimes I think I have ADD since I can't still still or do the same activity for very long. For example, today I couldn't decide what to watch on TV and homework didn't seem like it was that fun, so I was flipping through the channels. Comcast digital cable comes equipped with Music Choice which is a ridiculous amount of music channels; they have everything from classical to show tunes to old school rap. For those of us with music ADD, it's the best medicine there is. It seems that Music Choice has added a new feature called Showoff. Showoff allows people to send text messages and pictures to the channel they are watching and it will be displayed. It was mostly people saying how much they loved someone or wishing people a Happy Easter.
I decided to test this Showoff deal and see if they moniter it. I sent a text message that said, "Jon, I am pregnant. It's not yours. SORRY!"* I got a text message back saying that my message didn't meet their criteria. I wasn't happy, but I was determined to get a message on TV. It wasn't because I wanted my "15 minutes of Fame" that Music Choice was advertising; I just was really bored. My next message I sent said, "My dog is better than your dog."** I got another text message that said that there was a high number of messages sent and mine might not get on there. Turns out, it didn't. I spent 2 hours watching the station and waiting for my message to appear. Needless to say, there were some interesting messages posted. I took pictures of my favorite messages from the night. Enjoy.
