Everything is on YouTube ( www.youtube.com ). Or, almost everything. The point is, you can spend hours losing yourself in your favorite TV shows and films on this site, not to mention educating yourself on anything that may strike your fancy at the time.

And when I say "everything," I actually mean everything. People post video blogs on YouTube, which are really just several-minute-long recordings of them talking about random and often mundane things in their lives that very few people are really interested in, anyway. But if you have a specific point of interest - or a specific television show or film - don't be too surprised to find it on YouTube. Technically, the time of each video was limited to ten minutes in order to keep things like TV and film from finding their way to YouTube, but people just started posting them in installments, so that rule did no good.

However, if you have a particular interest in a historical event or in a place or person - don't be too surprised to find a wealth of documentary film sources up on YouTube. So the site really is not only a good way to have fun and pass time, but also could be used as an educational tool. Personally, I use it as both - a way to watch American TV shows that I don't get here since I don't own a TV, and also as a way to find documentaries on things that interest me. And of course, to find old television shows that I watched as a child and which were taken off the air long ago.

So if you find yourself with free time, and feel like hanging out alone, give YouTube a try. I think you'll find that you won't be lonely at all. 

"Fun, fun, fun - what can we do today for entertainment?" I asked myself.  I felt rather like a little boy again, constantly on the search for sources of amusement, so that I would not be bored.  In a way, I suppose it sounds rather sad, but I do prefer to keep myself busy.  I just can't stand lazing around at home with nothing to do.  If I just switch on the television and sit glued in front of the box watching the latest rubbish, I will inevitably fall asleep.  After all, what is life, without having some fun.  We all work so hard during the day - are we not entitled to enjoy ourselves too, at some stage of the day?  Sometimes, my day's work does stretch on late into the evening and then my play hours are unfortunately reduced accordingly.

So, now I return to my original challenge - the search for the evening's entertainment.  Last night I went out to a bar with some friends.  Perhaps tonight, a bowling club could be the venue.  I do enjoy bowling.  We certainly have not played for a while.  I shall begin a round of phone calls around the gang and a decision will soon be made.  At least I have an idea now.  This is how it starts - one of us comes up with an idea and spreads it along the phone lines to the rest of the friends in our group.  Once the line of action is arranged and time and location scheduled, then the fun can start.
