24 hour media fast

I did my 24 hour media fast on Saturday, September 4th. I knew it would be a little easier considering it was Gameday.  The only time I cheated was that I had to use my cell phone as an alarm clock to wake up on time for breakfast.  I also watched TV in the locker room before the game.  Besides that I really didn't use any form of media for the day. I spent most of the day just talking with friends and teammates. The game used a good chunk of time as well. It was pretty difficult to stay away from media before and after the game. The parties, however, greatly helped my chances of not using media. I didnt have a chance to watch tv or feel the need to use my cell phone since everyone I wanted to talk to was already there.  The hardest thing to give up was easily the cell phone.  I never realized how often I use one during a full days period.  The media fast was not really all that bad. It can make you appreciate the smaller things in life.
