In Praise of Boredom

This was originally going to be a video pod-cast but once i fired up the video editing software i realised my beard was so large i resembled Tom Hanks in that film where he shouts at a football, or was it a vollyball i've never seen it so i don't know. So after i finished this i plan to shave it off and in doing so probably lose a couple of pounds of weight and considerable strain on my neck. Anyway Boredom, it got me thinking. Of course the main reason it got me thinking was because i was so bored that i could only think about being bored. I wander if i have said the word bored enough yet, i think you get the point. The internet is the home of the bored man these days, where as in the past a book or the wireless might have sufficed the modern man only the internet will do when it comes to relieving the most natural of mans emotions. Mostly the internet delivers, it has such wide ranging delights such as this or indeed this (i promise i am not ricrolling you guys). There comes a time in every students life thou when the internet loses its gloss, what you once thought was a wonderful resource for enriching your life, 100% more informative than mere books and 1 million time more interactive than watching tv. You realise it for what it is, a collection of other bored people, just look at facebook thats just a socail network of millions of users around the world staring at computer screens being a bit bored. Come to think of it you have to be incredibly bored to even be reading this. Frankly I had to be incredibly bored to write it. Which brings me round me to my point. Boredom is the most beautiful of human emotions because it is the one that makes us create or enjoy, the one that makes us try and improve are lives even if it is  for the sake of not being so bored you tear your own eyes out.

Just re-read that last bit, i sounded a bit well... Self help book. More posts soon
