I'm sooooo bored!
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 4:28AM
I remember times when I was younger and I used to say that when I thought I had nothing fun to do. Often over the long summer holidays. I have no doubt my family got very sick of it, and I now have the utmost sympathy for them. How on earth could I ever think I was bored? What that feeling must be like. I was always told only boring people get bored, and now I see some logic to that.
What it must be like to think that you have nothing to do, nothing that you want to get done, or nothing that needs doing. I have no recollection whatsoever of a time when I felt like that these last few years. I have a little more time now that the election is over, and I did get to spend a nice weekend enjoying great hospitality (and making clotted cream) with my friends in Racine, but I still feel like I lack such a sought after commodity. Time.
Once again I find myself behind in reading the newspaper, Time Magazine, and my film magazine Empire. I am slow in getting all the latest news, and behind the times with new music releases too. My iTunes is in dire need of an epic sought out, and my inbox is overflowing with incomplete surveys. As someone with slight OCD tendencies, unopened emails drive me crazy, as does as an unorganised iTunes library. On top of all this, are college applications. Oh, and the hundreds of photos from last summer I still need to organise and post. And perhaps most importantly, all the blog posts I have planned for this site.
Of course, a lot of these 'projects' of mine aren't exactly pressing issues, but they are things I enjoy and like to spend time on. Time enjoyed is not time wasted. So, while they take a long time, I will keep slogging away at them until I can come home from work with nothing to do other than kick back with a nice book and some excellent tunes.
...that'll be the day.
