Unforgivable Sins

I always thought i was strong — mentally, that is. I always thought i held myself to high standards and wouldn't lower myself and do certain things, like killing or stealing. I always thought i was a good person.

I now know better, and have to admit to doing even worse that those things; to having done the unforgivable.....

I just called Dish Network and turned off TV Japan, and it hurts terribly even writing this. To lessen the pain a smidgen, i told them to turn on TV5Monde, a French language station that costs less than half as much as TV Japan, but still.....

What is my world coming to? If you hear on the news about a guy that got fried by lightning while running on the side of the road out here in Lockport, you'll know the gods didn't take this sitting down. ;-)

(And since my Cherry Blossom tree didn't bloom this year, we already know they are pretty upset with me.)

Edited about 3 hours later:
After posting this note, i went out for my morning run, ate lunch, and then checked to see if the change had been made in my programming. It had. TV Japan was now gone ..... but TV5Monde was nowhere to be found.

To make a long story short, i can't get it — TV5Monde is on the 118.7° satellite and the dish i use for TV Japan points to 61.5°. However, the broadcast of Radio France International is on both satellites so i could get that. It is only an audio relay of the shortwave RFI broadcasts, but i said OK.

I guess the way to look at this is i now have more time to run and read since i no longer get any video. Interesting how life goes on...
