Study hard ,eat all your veggies ,avoid bad influences and one day you may grow up to be President. If not then you will at least have succeeded at being as boring as fuck.
As for Texacadians and hockey consider it this way - everyone play fooseball down there but few actually get to start and fewer still get to star.
If you were a decent but unspectacular athlete wouldn't it make sense to go into something that nobody with any athletic ability cared about ?
Look at the opportunities ,first line,travel, scholarships maybe even a little respect and getting laid (OK carrying it a bit too far there,let's stay realistic) .
I think there's even an official name for that sort of stardom by default sort of thing , fastest white man alive or most intelligent mod at FST or something.
As for the TV ( and pathetically I'm not making this up ) I only originally wanted a flat screen so I could mount it on the wall and run my bike training programs through it as I rode. Unfortunately I came into more money than I had brains ( not much and less) and it sort of grew from there.
Besides I'm old and computers don't agree with me
Respect my lack of authority.
The only new show I'm watching is Boardwalk Empire (HBO).
It shows promise but the jury is still out.

i'm going off this list of shows. i have no idea wtf has came out and i never have. i just pick shows up as time goes by.
i just watched Hawaii Five-0 and the 1st ep was ok.
i watched Nikita when it first came out and stopped there. horrible 1st ep.
i watched the 1st ep of Lost Girl and it sucked as well.
edit*
i just watched ep 1 of Blue Bloods which was the better show of the above so far.
edit**
watched ep 1 of Detroil 187. not sure if i like this or not. kinda bored throughout, but Natalie Martinez is hot and the cliff hanger was enough to want me to watch ep2.

ok so as far as new series are concerned, there were quite a few this fall,
for me the ones that stand out from what i've seen so far are
Rubicon (a really good and deep series, it's already finished for the first season)
The Event has started on the right foot, and everything looks good till now, i hope it continues keeping us on our seat.
Boardwalk Empire from HBO, haven't decided on this one yet but it looks promising, besides it's an HBO series and they have a way with them.
The walking Dead can't wait to start. it sounds really promising.
As far as new seasons are concerned from existing series here i go with
fringe season 3 (i like the first, i loved the second, and i'm keeping my thumb up for the third until now, hope it continues this way)
Stargate Universe season 2 (i miss a few good space/aliens series and i believe this one fills in the gap pretty good)
