Things to Do When You're Bored

There is no point in ever being bored. If you are bored, you are probably boring. Below are

ten easy cures for boredom:

1. Make inane blog posts. Thanks to the wonders of the Google, someone will read it! Some weirdo will actually search for "spaghetti code poetry" and find this very post because it may well be the only page on the entire internet that has that particular set of words in that order. Tell me that's not cool!
2. Study something. It doesn't matter what. This is one of the most effective boredom slayers because you will either become totally engrossed or bored to the point of easy napping.
3. Go for a walk. Never fails for me. I find walks in deep snow to be especially invigorating.
4. Explore your creative side. Draw or paint, play an instrument, compose a poem -- whatever floats your boat. There's got to be something. Come on, think!
5. Make some kind of list. It could be any kind of list. Just keep making it until you can no longer find anything to put on it. Lists are a most brilliant invention. They make all other inventions possible. Edison made a very long list of things that didn't work before he hit on the one that did.
6. Explore your navel. Have you ever really taken a close look at your bellybutton? It's a pretty nifty part of the body! I like to explore mine as I...
7. Take a bath, a long, luxurious soak in a candlelit room. It's like going back to the womb.
8. Pump iron. Hey, it works for prisoners, and they have to be some of the most bored people in the world. If lifting weights isn't your thing, do yoga or some other physical exercise.
9. Get drunk or take up smoking. Just kidding!!!! I mean, these are options but not very healthy ones.
10. Read. It's the best.

Kill your boredom dead! Do something. I just did.
