Finding a Hobby to Battle Boredom

[Smurf]

So Bored...

I can't pick up a book, I can't play music, I don't even want to listen to music. I can't even watch TV or play video games. I work 6/7 days a week at my two jobs. But I still get most evenings off. That's when I get bored.

Boredom's always been my great nemesis, I remember back in elementary school I was like this already, I'd have these dry spells when I seem to have no motivation, everything seems pointless. I even did an Art Project on being bored back in grade 7. I think it was 7.

Yup. I'm bored. I need a hobby.

Get a woman in your life, a strong willed woman.
you will never be bored again.

(you will just wish you were)

 

[Smurf]

Hmm, now if only women liked me.

 

[honestrosewater]

How can you be bored? Have you not heard of teh internets?

 

[blackcat]

Yeah if you have the internet you can't be bored. Porn!

 

[moe darklight]

Hmm, now if only women liked me.

join the high-school I went to. all the girls there loved bored, unmotivated guys

 

[arunbg]

Why don't you try out your favourite sport? You could join some club for amateurs perhaps. That's what I am doing for my summer hols, and I'm glad to say that I am enjoying my stint.

 

[mattmns]

I am in the same position smurf. Except, I don't work, so I have all day long to be bored. I think I will second the idea of arunbg, and suggest doing some sports and/or working out. I started working out a few weeks ago, and that helps kill some time. Watch some more episodes of bull**** (http://www.veoh.com/ and http://www.tv-links.co.uk/show.do/1/1919 ) Though I must admit, the more I watch the show, the more I seem to hate what is going on in our world.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a woman. :)

Play Desktop Tower Defense or pick a sport and play every day.

Can some people not do that or something?

So you're bored. Lay on the couch and throw a ball at the cieling. Sleep more. Fully experience the boredom for all it's worth. Then when you are bored of being bored, go do something more useful with your time. Focus on being as bored as possible and you'll get through it quicker. It should leave you with the proper appreciation and respect for boredom. Ya have to be busy ALL the time? I can eat a peach for hours.

 

[Smurf]

Ya have to be busy ALL the time? I can eat a peach for hours.

That was awesome.

 

[Huckleberry]

That was awesome.

Yes, I'm the Lewis and Clark of boredom. I can turn eating a peach into an epic adventure. However, I haven't received any recent grants for hopeful expeditions. Lewis and Clark were more well funded than I am. The point is to enjoy the smaller things in life for all they have to offer.

Umm, I didn't really mean that.

 

[marlon]

Can some people not do that or something?

Yes, YOU !

marlon

 

[Smurf]

Yes, YOU !

marlon

but i did it, it was easy.

 

[Smacal1072]

this is going to sound lame, but excercise. if you are somewhat young, and not severely overweight, run. And don't just jog, run. Its great.

There really is something called a runner's high and I get it all the time. Sometimes I'll start smiling like an idiot on the treadmill and people look at me like I'm crazy.

 

[ank_gl]

dude i just got it,
keep on posting on PF,
you won't ever get bored.
daa, how come i never get bored?? got to learn it fast

dude
exercise really aint a solution for boredom, u ll get bored of exercising

 

[radou]

Get a woman in your life, a strong willed woman.
you will never be bored again.

Most definitely.

Get to know Smurfette, and everything will turn in a better direction.

I'm in a similar situation myself, btw. :uhh:

 

[tim_lou]

man... I was so bored that I read Griffith's book for like 5 hours straight... don't know if that's a good thing or not...
