Boredom

not possible

well its true. Ive spent most of my time training monkeys to snipe children

Think it is a physical and mental response from our body saying to do something. If you think about it we are animals that still have a natural instinct to survive. is that what our body and mind is telling us what to do?

Smiling is bad for the economy because bored and/or miserable people buy more things.

I think it's because we take everything around us for granted. I mean, here I am talking instantly to people all around the world and yet I'm thinking about when to put the kettle on.
We're constantly looking for new things to do, so I guess bordem is something to keep you going. It's like my body is telling me "don't sit there all day, go do something else", not that I do lol.

In the beginning of the summer I smoked illegal substances for 2 weeks almost 24/7 (not when I slept tho D;) and since I wasnt at home, I couldnt do interesting and fun stuff. So I just watched tv and did other boring things all day. But I wasnt bored at all, I had great time. Then for a bit over month after that I couldnt get bored. Even if I just sat on the sofa just listening to music and thinking (which usually gets boring after 5mins), I didnt get bored, it didnt feel like the time slowed down. It just was more enjoyable than normally and during that time I didnt even get those "would be great to smoke a bowl now" feelings, I didnt think about weed at all.
But now whe boredom has come back and so has the occasional feelings of how awesome it would be if I had something to smoke atm.

Kinda off-topic, but I just thought that was interesting :

Im not bored that often, I work a lot and that usually solves the problem.

you know I agree with that! we just do the same thing day in and day out, thats why when we get to try something new in our lives we go for it.

Boredom is a sign that you should be doing something better with your life.

I actually seldomly have this problem. I keep myself occupied fairly well. If I've got down time, I'll work on something Soba-Scans related. Whether it's website maintenance, editing, scanning, reviewing, etc. There's pretty much always something to do editing wise. If I'm not doing that then I'm watching a TV show I like, or anime series I want to watch. If I'm not in the mood for that I'll pop in a video game, or even just browse the web.

Very rarely do I sit frustrated at not knowing what to do or just bored in general.

bordom is just a sign that you have to go do somthing funner
