At one time

Hi joshua_w! At one time, I was so bored that I just went out and rode a bus without knowing where it is heading. I got off after it passed the freeway/expressway and then I rode another one heading back home. When i reached home, I was not bored anymore. The green sceneries I have seen in the freeway refreshed my mind somehow. Just my thoughts. Take care and have a nice day!

Now that is bored! But Joshua, I have to admit something here and many people will think I am quite strange for saying it, but I do not think I have ever really been bored. Not really! When 20-something I bought a fabric patch to put on some clothing that read "bored of education" because it was a neat pun "Board vs Bored" and that is the sort of thing college students used to like--back in the days when they ate gold fish or had contests of how many freshmen could fit inside a telephone booth. Hah! Now they don't even have telephone booths anymore. Well, I never got that bored. There is always something useful to, though. Out in the farm country the elders had a saying "The devil lies in idle hands!" I was about 6 when Dad gave me my first pocket knife and taught me how to whittle. That was cool. If I ever had time to sit around and do nothing, I would carve something out of wood. Something useful, yet ornamental.

At present, I rarely get bored because I've got a lot to do not only here in the office but at home as well mainly because I'm already married and I'm not only concerned with myself anymore. But before, particularly when I was still unattached, there were a lot of times when I get bored at home. And during these times, I indulge to writing short novels, letters, and poems, reading books, magazines, Archie comics, surfing the internet, crocheting, watching tv shows particularly those I've missed because of hectic work schedules, stuff or hobbies like these. If myLot had been already active then, I guess it would take a lot of my spare time because not only do I enjoy responding to discussions but it somehow educates me, too. But anyway, just to keep the chain unbroken and going, I'd also like to share my crazy antics I've done during college when I and one of my friends got bored. Our classes extended only until about two in the afternoon. My female friend and I did our usual routine, checking ourselves in the washroom's mirror and afterwards rushing to the gate. But after a bit of coaching, we both decided to have a stroll in the mall. We both felt bored that day so even if the sun wasn't shining and it was drizzling then, we still proceeded with our plan. With some savings, we splurged on food and games arcade in the mall. When we have spent almost three hours there, we did some window shopping. Then another hour passed and that's when we both finally decided to head home. By the way, we aren't neighbors, she lives ten to fifteen kilometers from me.
