When I Should Be Sleeping

On rare occasions, I find myself watching the 700 Club or other late night paid programing on TV. I never specifically tune into the shows but rather, its just a show I transition into watching and am too lazy to change the channel. Most of the the time I'm usually involved in a painting, a book, or some other sort of work.
About half way through the program, I actually become aware of what I'm watching and immediately feel the need to change the channel. These shows, whether they are talking about religion or feeding the children always give me an awkward feeling, a sort of pity for them (the people on the TV) and a pity for me (because I never do anything about my pity). One day I will work up the audacity to finally change the channel.
