The next "Road Block" In my life

It's that time of my life. In order for me to become a better philosopher.....I NEED TO GIVE UP T.V.
Which is going very well actually. I very seldomly watch TV....however the internet is also something i need to use in extreme moderation.
Any tips on how to pass the time or wheen one's self off these activities? I already picked up guitar....however a man can only play so much in a day.
I also go for long walks....ect.
I was thinking getting a girlfriend however from my past experiances with girls.......I need to wait until i find a Sane one.
(On a side note what are some of your road blocks or hills your climbing to further your life? What are you improving on?)

I'm trying to spend less time on the computer (failing so far )
I'm pretty happy with my will-power at the moment other than that. I've given up meat, I hardly watch TV anymore, i eat well, I play music more often, and I feed my hunger for knowledge.
Pretty much the only thing I'm resolving is the computer time, and working on my relationship with my girlfriend (which is magical, but theres no such thing as a relationship that's too good! )
I'm also trying to meditate more, and be more socially outward. I've been rather reclusive for a while and i need to get out in the world.
And don't try to get a girlfriend if you want to get one that will last. If you try, then it isn't as real in my opinion. It's just something that happens.

I gave up T.V. 5 years ago, and never looked back. An Amish guy gave the challenge at a speech I went to, and I tried it. He said just try it for 3 months. 3 months was over and I didn't want to watch ever again.
Suggestions would be to read more. Anything to fill that time really. Find a hobby and work on it.

Congratulations!  This is an excellent choice indeed!  I must tell you that since I gave up watching TV I feel so much happier and energized and all those other great feelings which I'm sure you'll experience too.  What really is entertaining and funny is that almost everybody I know asks me stuff like: what? you don't watch TV? At all? So... what are you doing with your life? 
I couldn't tell you exactly what to do with your time since you're the one who has to find what you like more, but I suggest reading, writing (even if you really are not such a good writer, you might be surprised by the things that randomly cross your mind and in which manner they evolve), getting high , spending time with yourself because you'll always get the chance to find out new stuff regarding who you are, hang out (only) with people that you feel you're compatible with, creating and enjoying every breath that you take in the same measure as you enjoy cookies when you're stoned  Nature is always one of the most beautiful places where you can be, so if you have the means of being surrounded by it, it's one of the things that I recommend the most. Being there with the one you love is insanely beautiful and profound.  Ahhh yes, I understood that you need a girlfriend first, one that is mentally sane , but you'll have to start looking for her first.

I am very happy with my life, I found my Love and he is the most beautiful being in this Universe, in every way, so I'm living mesmerized by this experience and blissful feeling, and this amazing love which keeps growing and growing.  And which is the only thing that matters and makes sense to me.  This all draws by itself my full ability to improve who I am, in the most natural way.
--------------------
   All this time I've loved you And never known your face All this time I've missed you And searched this human race Here is true peace Here my heart knows calm Safe in your soul Bathed in your sighs
