Boredom kills

Ok so today is the day that I’m supposed to post. Yay. Nothing really amazing has happened to me this week, although I did learn an important lesson. What’s that lesson, hmm? Well, last Sunday I decided to spend the entire next week at home, hanging out with my family. I had become so busy with friends and my dance class that I hardly ever got to see them, and I knew that wasn’t right.

The only problem with this plan is that one of my sisters is busy for most of the day at college, the other sister is busy with work, and my brother is busy with college AND work. So where does that leave me? Sitting at home, feeling completely bored.

And now comes the realization; when boredom consumes you, DO NOT TURN ON THE TV!!! It really does zap all your creative juices out of you, and you come away feeling lazy and drained.

Now I literally feel like I can’t think up a single fun thing to do, and I KNOW it’s that stupid TV’s fault!! How can I be bored when I have 100s of books that I haven’t read lying around, a cat and dog that I could play with, and…umm.. DANG I can’t think of anything!!! See what I mean? NO CREATIVITY!!!

But maybe it’s just that you get more boring as you get older? I mean when you’re little you can play with Barbie dolls, GI Joe (which is NOT a doll!!!), and a variety of other toys. I remember only a few times in my childhood when I was truly bored. I think that as we get older maybe we allow different things to swallow our imaginations and take away our creativity.

So the instruction of the day iiiis: TV is evil!!! Don’t watch it!! But if you must, watch only an hours worth!!! OH! And don’t let anything zap your imagination or your creativity!! Got it? GOOD!
