Death

I came in from work the other day, and I had left the TV on. I didn't bother to turn it off or change the channel. That was a mistake.

I was busy cleaning up my apt, but I could hear it in the background. This teenager type show was on. These kids kept talking to each other using "AIM lingo," such as LOL or BRB or TTYL. No seriously. They were doing this repeatedly. The really bad part was that you could tell this guy was thinking he was incredibly cool for using AIM abbreviations in real life conversation.

I wanted to jump from my balcony in a fit of helpless self-destruction, but I got my bearings, moved quickly towards the remote control, and turned it off. By doing this, I am quite sure that I avoided certain death.

My life is much more satisfying now that my television will no longer tune to that channel.
