It is the bittersweet moment when the
advertisements start on cable television and you select the pause button on the remote of the digital recorder. This moment usually occurs right at a poignant time of
what you are watching and you feel mad that you have to wait but glad that you can pause, wait and then forward pass the
commercials and end up in real time.
While
watching a dramatic movie and just when you will find out "who did it", the
commercials come on, bad ones at that, and instead of having to watch them or hear them, you pause and listen to the quietness of life, meditate, or converse with your partner. Then you
fast forward at triple time. Ahh, adpauseum.
