Rants.

The differences between living alone and living with someone else are many. For one, living alone you dont have to take someone elses feelings into consideration, you dont have to respect someone elses privacy, or lack thereof.

Now I dont live alone, nor am I living together with someone I love, or even really care for. I have a roommate, a german one, he's here working. I had never met him before the day I moved in, I had never even spoken to him. It all works out pretty easy. I give him money, and he let me have a room in his apartment (intenet® included). He have no expectations on me, other than I give him the rent money by the end of the month. And well that I dont make a mess everywhere and expect him to clean up after me, which suits me fine, I dont like messes very much myself.

The downside though about living with someone you dont care about, is that you'll have to go to bed alone at night (unless you want a german guy with you in bed, which I dont). And you also have no right to have expectations on him, or the right to complain to him (unless the internet® stop working). You also cant go eat his food from the fridge, which can be tempting at times. It always seems that no matter how much food I have at home, his food always seems nicer. Why is that by the way? Grass is always greener and all that? I wonder if he thinks the same about my food, if he does maybe we can have food switch days.

Another thing would be that I obviously cant have lots of friends over and have a party, especially not since he is working 6 days per week, while I'm working zero days per week. The whole snuggeling in front of a good movie and having taco nights is also not an option.

Now I dont watch TV, I really never do watch TV at all. I really dont see the point in it. Lets say I wanna watch a TV show, or a movie or something. Then I get to watch 5-10 minutes of what I want, followed by 10 minutes of commersial, then another 5-10 minutes of what I want followed by yet another 10 minute commersial break. Why would anyone put themselves through that? I'd much rather downlaod the TV show I want to see from the internet® and watch it when I have the time to do so, without any breaks, or with as many and as long breaks as I want to have. I dont want to watch a half naked man use a razorblade with 8 blades and batteries in the middle of my favourite TV show, that will most likely NOT make me buy that razor. I'd by any razor BUT that one, I will always remember that razor as the one that popped up just when the TV show I was watching was most exciting. The resentment towards that razor will be huge.

I think the whole commersial thingy is backfiring at them. The pay huge amount of money to show their products on TV, which will annoy the crap out of people and keep them from buying said product. Not to speak of the fact the the commersials costs alot of money, so they have to sell these items alot more expensive than a brand who dont use TV commersial for their products. If the stop doing TV commersials, their product would cost less money and they could sell it cheaper, and if they really are that good, people will keep buying it. Simple math to me.

But then again, I guess I think too high of humankind. I guess 97.5% of them all are mindless sheeps with no will of their own. If someone on TV tells them to buy something, they'll run to the store and buy it. Even if they have no use for it what so ever. If anyone on TV says you cant live without a razor that has both 8 blades AND batteries, then its obviously true, you can't live without it. Better hurry up and get one before you get caught without it and die.
