Not owning a TV is alternative by definition, purely because such a tiny per cent of the population shun them...
TVs are the number one weapon in the arsenal of advertisers and media corporations whose sole aim in life is to convince us to consume...refusing to allow them into your living room is admirable.
A person who spends their life doing altruisitc works will possibly feel more "fuller" than someone who spent their life making sure they had the latest jeans or consumed themselves with their image.....there must be something in the bible about this, maybe I'll convert.
You're right, I do make initial perceptions of image conscious people, unfortunately for them my perception probably isn't what they'd wish ....ooh they look alternative / unique /trendy /interesting......my perception is more like ....just another image obsessed, self-conscious dullard.
Personally, I don't really bother about what complete strangers think of my "image"...it's totally meaningless....unless of course there perception stops me from getting a job or something like that, then it becomes discrimination....
