I cant stand to watch tv these days. All it ever shows is sex and murder. Plus the commercials show the same. Or selling lawsuits and ask your doctor for latest fad drugs.
I have taken to old radio shows from the past. Mostly the old grand ole opry shows we listened to when i was a kid on Saturday nights around the radio. And old baseball broadcasts from 40s 50s and 60s. When baseball was fun and not politicaal. Old teams that dont exist anymore. Real baseball.
How do spend your evenings aside from bible study?

I like judge Judy... I may find a movie to watch now n then... go to the dog park with my pup but for the most part I spend my waking hours in the Word nothing can grab my attention like He can

I like cycling. It helps me relax and keep myself fit.
When it is cold outside, I often read. And of course, I watch tv series or movies if there is something good.

I used to love riding a bicycle,then i stop for a few years. I tried to get back into it a few years ago,bought a brand new one,got 10 minutes from the house and had to push it home. And gave bike away that evening. It does not take long to get out of shape,but takes a while to get back.

I've cut out a lot of worldly things. Most have become corrupt or the musician, actor, creator, etc. has themselves and even their past work is disgusting to me.
What infuriates me, is that so many things were good and fun during my childhood and on. It's hard to enjoy them any more as trying to "shut half your brain off" to enjoy them b/c of the people involved and what they've become. I'm not going to give them to someone else b/c it'll just corrupt them.
I prefer physical books but have digital as well. I've only on Christian station in my car (Need to find more) and keep it on that station. I've backed up my music and have well over 171GB of music = 28,420 songs. I've organized most of it and am considering deleting all but a few folders.
I play video games but time is limited so I choose entertainment value/dollar ratio. There is a Christian video game slated to release this year.
I have an autistic nephew who turns 5 this year and spend lots of time watching him.
I have a few Youtube channels where I study more about God, the Bible, our history, etc.
I keep it fewer and simpler than I did years ago.
If I had the room, contacts, and "ways to acquire" I would pursue collecting old bibles and other old books. The handmade ones that are so well made you could literally thump common sense into a Leftoid and they'd immediately learn better.

Playing Bluegrass.
 
Entertainment has replaced drama on the airwaves. Classically speaking, the Greek word "drama" means that the actors are showing you something that has to do with your real belief system and civic obligations (think shows like NYPD Blue and Law and Order). Entertainment is no strings attached, a bunch of people acting out and it didn't involve you. That distinction is parallel to the one between a famous person and a celebrity. The word "famous" is related to the word "family", he's someone you would know. A celebrity is just a person who reputedly appears on celluloid film, being famous is something to do with sharing a drama between you too, but celebrity is more like advertising agency models who are ever present in pop up internet ads, one difference is that a professional who is an actor entered the field to clarify his character by acting out roles he believes that he resembles, but a celebrity is only there to get wide exposure, be in front of the camera as much as possible, and seems to love flashbulbs.
 
Now I mostly just sit and smoke my pipe. Let the world do what it’s going to do. I don’t belong in it anymore
