It's been a long time...

Well I have to admit I had a blog once in my life. It was in my teenage years (it sounds like I was 50), but, honestly, I feel like I changed a lot since that time. We all know what kind of blog can write a 13 year old girl, and god, it's just incredible how we grow up and become quite normal people. Obviously, in 10 years I will consider 22 years old me as a silly chick, so now I won't say anything about my old, embarassing blog.
Mostly, because that's not what I wanted to talk about while I was taking a sit in front of my computer.

I'm not sure if I won't regret this, but here it comes - I want to defend something I enjoy that many people consider just a stupid entertainment. I'm talking about TV series [booo]. Many times you can't say that you relax watching your favorite tv series, because it's not an intelectual acitivity. Although, this way of thinking is changing slowly, I think it's necessary to notice how valuable can be series, that, of course, are GOOD.

First of all, they can help you to observe your own weaknesses and problems, which you don't want admit. Many times you will identify yourself with some character, and it will make you laugh, but also will make you think. They can be educative - depending on the subject - like famous Dr House, very precious material for study according to medicine students, like my brother. Since he started his studies, everything he sees are medical cases. Finally, they can be just an entertainment, and even if it's just for fun, it helps to relax and take some things easy. There's one thing I should say - there's no polish TV serie I like, they're just so, so bad. Everything, the story, actors and their acting... so I watch american TV series and my favourite is Modern Family. It's the best serie I HAVE EVER SEEN. It's a great acting, great comedy, so hilarious and wise. It presents the life of 3 types of family, some of them unconventional. I think that it is so succesful (in America it's a really famous serie) because it shows true social issues, changes and stereotypes in a funny way, so they seem more acceptable for society.
Or The Mentalist? Funny and fascinating, with great crime stories and one that leads whole the plot. Grey's anatomy? Not so ambitious, but one time dramatic, one time funny, and despite of its unbelievable sometimes episodes (how many times you can have a terrible accident like a plane crash and still be a happy, normal person?) is one of my favourites.

There are many more I like or I can't live without. I think I don't have to explain how important is the balance in your life - you shouldn't watch TV series all the time, whether they're good or not. Because books, movies, exercising, writing your own book, cleaning your room or simply doing nothing in your free time is also important. Okay, I'm trying to make my point here - be open, try new things, even TV series (not Klan...), can be an intelectual balm for your soul.

I will try to be more erudite next time!

PS I may be addicted, the name of my blog comes from my favourite serie, and it's just something that one of characters said. It means nothing, I just had it in my head whole day...

  1. Welcome to the project! I hope you will like blogging, especially that you've done it before. As for TV series, it is now generally accepted that some of them are really good quality entertainment, so there is no need to be apologetic about watching them. As for American series, my favorite these days is Big Bang Theory. If you like smart humor, this is something worth trying. And as for your blog: keep writing! :) Also, please change the blog's language to English and the time zone to GMT+1, so that the date, time, and other elements are displayed correctly.

  2. Yeah, the Big Bang Theory is one of those which I really like, it's a great comedy :) I have to admit, writing a blog can be an entertainment too!
