I've come to a realization, or rather a type of epiphany. It is as follows:
The more bored someone is, the more difficult it is for them to come up with something to do. This is further compounded by the amount of things that become limited to them rises.
For example, I have a job where I work on Saturdays. As such, my job is customer based. So, if there are no customers that need anything, I have essentially nothing to do. So, on Saturdays there really is nothing going on and I become bored... at work. Normally I would be playing games, cooking, and watching TV at the same time... or out with my peeps and drinking or riding my quad and getting dirty. But at work, I have news channels, the interwebs and whatever I may bring to work as long as it isn't electronic. After the first few Saturdays the internet got old, but perhaps that's because I haven't the faculties required to search the web in order to sate my amusement or to discover something that is engaging. I recall one time I got so bored, that I squeezed a whole tube of Aveeno hand lotion into my hands and rubbed them together to see how long it took before my hands weren't slimy. In any case, this boredom is the crucible from which arose my profile creation and subsequent blog post. I honestly haven't anything important to say right now, perhaps except that boredom is a powerful motivator and perhaps a potent muse. <sigh> Must find... amusement.
