The Power of Boredom

B. O. R. E. D. It feels so weird. There are a lot of things that I can do right now, actually. I can watch tons of video CDs, play lotsa computer games, surf the worldwide web, connect to the world through chat, play hundreds of mp3s, read all kinds of magazines, eat buckets of French fries and gallons of ice cream, but, I don’t know. I don’t wanna do any of those things. Even smoking cigarettes doesn’t appeal much to me right now. I know I wanna do something but I don’t know what that is. So basically, that’s it. I’m bored. I’m sooooooo fucking bored.

B. O. R. E. D. I don’t know how much power boredom holds. But once it strikes you, you’re good as dead – for an entire day, at least. I know most of you know the feeling. You’re never at ease when you’re bored. There’s this feeling of unfinished business within you, but when you try to sort things out, you won’t find anything that would seem unfinished to you. You’ll search for something to do to make the boredom go away, which, you won’t ever find. Studies show that none, as in no one, has ever found something interesting to do when he’s bored. He’ll just keep searching, and keep believing that there is something he’s in search of. He’ll only realize that there’s nothing he wants to do when he’s bored after the boredom has gone away, say, after a day. So basically, that’s it. I’m bored. I’m sooooooo fucking bored.

B. O. R. E. D. Studies also show that boredom can only be defeated by sleep. So if you’re bored as hell, go to sleep. You’ll see that when you wake up, the feeling of boredom has gone away.

B. O. R. E. D. So basically, that’s it. I’m bored. I’m sooooooo fucking bored.
