Free Video-on-Demand Cable Service Decision of ABC

I am a big fan of the LOST, so I have watched these ABC television series since season 1. When I miss some episodes, it is hard to catch up the story! Thus, I prefer watch the Lost with DVD.

Lost has been at the forefront of new television distribution a method. It was one of the first series issued through Apple's iTunes service. Also, since Season 2, new episodes have been available for download the day after on ABC website. One step forward, ABC says that Lost and Desperate Housewives will release for free video-on-demand cable services.

I think that ABC made a good decision. Nowadays, traditional television programs are threatened by new technology such as internet broadcast. If ABC keeps its traditional way and not to change, there is no future for ABC any more. Video-on-demand cable service is a clever choice for ABC because it makes viewers watch TV again. Actually, many people feel more convenient and comfortable watching program on TV than internet. If there are proper systems to catch viewers’ attention and satisfaction, people will come back to their television.

Jealousy and Envy

I have an argument with my friend last night. I was talking about how my girl friend was nice, but he felt that I was jealous her. Jealousy typically occurs when a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. Jealousy and envy is related each other, however, they are pretty different, also.

Jealousy concerns something one has and is afraid of loosing, while envy concerns something one does not have and either wants to acquire. I admit that I envy her, but not jealous. I believe that both jealousy and envy are more self-love than love. It is more important to love my friend than to envy her. If I have healthy self-esteem, I may not envy her.

Love and Respect

“My boyfriend has to have Brad Pitt’s lovely eyes, Matt Damon’s perfect body and Anderson Cooper’s intelligent.”

I am used to saying this to my friends. But reality is totally different. :) I was looking for the “perfect” boyfriend, but it was impossible! I have learned my lessons. If he is a very good-looking, usually he is a player. If he is so smart, he tries to figure out what is the advantage or not. I want to be in love without reasons! I know it is a quiet dangerous thinking, but I have one important value to meet a special one. I realize that I have to find someone who can “trust.” Love is relationship based on the faith and confidence. Also, love and respect are main points of the successful relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. If my boyfriend lies to me, our relationship might be over.
