I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that boredom is the natural state of humans. We might talk as if boredom comes after the activities we are involved in, not the other way around. It seems to me, however, that our natural state is not something we must try to do, meaning that our natural state is something that we don't need to try to be, and doing nothing is bound to cause boredom.
This conclusion does not imply that we should strive to be bored because if we try then it is not natural. My conclusion simply means that you really can find ways to blame God for everything even though he is rarely at fault for the bad things.

Once again for old time's sake
Okay,
Muffy sure likes saying Don't walk, run to Crosswire Motors.

Boredom
A sunny Tuesday morning it has been, but a boring one.
The sun is out and i am restricted from going out into it by the rules that are set by people who don't understand my life style. adults lecture us on their childhood and how it was just like ours; our lives, however, are much different. We have Internet, On Demand, and yes, the wheel. Even with these luxuries, however, we still crave the outdoors. As creatures on this earth we need freedom. Yes this is a very general statement and it could be more specific to my situation - the fact that i am locked in not because of a deep hatred that my family has for me but because of the lack of an extra key.
I have been allowed what my father sees as a privilege, to go beyond the walls of my home but am expected to be coming and going only as convenient to my step mother. And i think we all know why he feels he needs to please her but i will not go into that on a family blog such as this.
Anyway, my plan to leave regardless of what they say is pointless considering i have failed once again to make plans.
You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.

One week ago Friday
Sorry I haven't posted for a week. It has been a long yet a short one; a hard one yet an easy one. Normal sunny afternoon -actually evening in Seattle. Friday and I'm bored out of my mind even though I have some work to do which I'm not doing. All my feelings in a few sentences.
Anyways, there are going to be some changes here in my spot and you'll notice them soon enough.
NBC Nightly News and ABC's World News were great and you should watch NN's netcast on MSNBC.com and WN's webcast at ABCNews.com. Nightly News's studio is being redone and according to Brian, they'll be ready by winter. Seems like a long time. I wonder how long it took to makeover ABC's WNT studio with Peter.
Remember Celine Dion and "Elvis"'s duet on American Idol. I liked it and the song, so here.
Have a great weekend.

Boring Sunday
For the first time in a long time, I have been bored on a Sunday. *sigh* Sundays in Seattle. Usually on Sundays I have a lot of work to do, but not today. The sun is shining down on Seattle and the grass and trees are responding by slightly waving around. The sky is mostly cloudy but you can tell there is blue behind it. Then there's the buzzing sound of a lawn mower. I haven't heard that sweet buzzing sound in a long time. Someone is always mowing their lawn whenever I'm bored, as if a lawn mower and my boredome were adherent. It's also opening day for the Mariners tomorrow.
Anyways, I'm planning on starting something new here. A special series involving an important issue to schoolkids in private and public schools across the nation will begin this week. More later...
