It's a public holiday here today and I'm absolutely bored senseless!

Heya Alok, good evening! I noticed your absence yesterday..... Well I'm not laying in bed, otherwise I'll go insane I think. I can't sit still for periods of time unfortunately, so thank goodness for sleep, otherwise I'd never stop! Today's almost over though, so I'll start fresh tomorrow. It's a work day again too, so there'll be no shortage of things to keep my mind occupied. I was thinking gladiator fight along the lines of full blown arena mayhem! Weapons, chariots..... Sounds like a great boredom reliever if you ask me! Thanks for the response mate.

The absence was for lack of finding something to do. As much as i did log in here a number of times, the lack of enthusiasm made me log out in a few minutes. And yes,Gladiator fight... Give me a sword,a shield, and one of those rocket burner chariots. BTW. Keep those lions away

Rocket burner chariots? Cool! I may just get me a couple of them also..... I think the lions would steer well clear of rocket burner chariots! By the way, I've logged on and off here today myself, but I'm just a bit "blah" for some reason and haven't really looked around the site too much.

If it's any consolation Wizzy, I haven't seen an alligator fight either. If you do all these things on leave, I don't even wish to think about what you must take on when you're working full time! I actually have no idea what my BP, cholesterol OR blood sugar levels are to be honest. The last time I had any of that stuff checked was over 5 years ago..... I too hope that you get to visit your Son at the end of the week, because the rest of it sounds pretty damn hectic! Thanks for the response and I also hope that having to postpone the operation you were expecting, hasn't caused any major concerns.

Hahahahaha. Dig deep Wizzy and I'm sure you'll be able to come up with a hairstyle to end all hairstyles! Good luck with the BP checks then and be sure to get in as much panda spanking as you can to help offset any future rises, OK. Do the extra shifts mean that you won't be visiting your Son now? I hope this isn't the case! Extra money with less hassles AND a Son visit sound like a great end to the week if you ask me!

My BP was sky high so i have to go back next week (on my day off of course!) My week just got busier as I'm now booked to do Thurs/Fri in my 'casual' job!! It pays much better than the regular job with shorter hours and no excrement (that's politely restrained for me isn't it!!) Friday is, apparently, a 'silly hair' day for Comic Relief but they tell me they dont see how i could make mine any sillier... I love a challenge

Well if it isn't "Super-Nova"! I've heard others mention that it's hard work NOT working as well! lol. You said "however", but making jewellery can't be called not working in any sense, shape or form. I know I wouldn't have the patience for it! I guess the movie Gladiator will have to do for now. I may even allow Spartacus into the mix as well, let's see..... I do remember Rollerball too. And Ben Hur, who could NOT remember the chariot scenes! I think we need to revive Gladiator fighting. Thanks for the response my dear and get yer butt on Skype more often too. I had Bo all lined up again and you were nowhere in sight.

I want to see some of your jewelry, Nova. Please?*S*

Rollerball actually has nothing to do with gladiators, Alice, lol, but it IS about the individual against the system, and that's what made me think of it, ok? Bohemianheart, darling friend, when we finally Skype, (maybe today, yes yes yes) I will show you some. I've shown some to James and to P1key, so they show up pretty well on camera. Soooooo, what are you doing in about 20-30 minutes? Wanna Skype? Say yes. I'm currently on the horn with p1key, but we should be finished in about 10 minutes or so, probably. I'll let you know.

Is it! Goodness me..... You must have far more self-discipline when it comes to keeping yourself busy then, because this is just the one day and I'm going stir crazy! I know of your volunteer work as a guide and think that this sounds fantastic! I think I know of the type of stained glasswork you're referring to as well. Maybe you should try blacksmithing too? Armour's surely gonna make a comeback, it's only a matter of time really and ALL past fashion's seem to have revivals! As for Emperors, "tricky" is quite a nice way to put it! Pompous, fat f&%^'s is probably a more adequate term..... lol. Thanks for the response Pike and I wish you every success in getting back to work if you so choose to in the future.

Heya Diddly! Well I'm nowhere near crying stage thankfully. But it's just been one of those inane types of days where everything just seems so bland for some reason. SO I figured I'd start a discussion about it! Spread the joy ya know! Thanks for the comments, did it relieve at least a LITTLE of the doldrums? Mykl, rub it in why don'tya!

*S* Yeah, seeing friends around always makes me smile, James.

There must be something in the atmosphere then! lol. I don't know what it was yesterday, but it's behind me now, so all's well that ends well. I would have headed out and done something, but I had a strange stomach yesterday too and was reluctant to venture too fasr from the apartment. Anyways, onwards and upwards! Thanks for the response jziakhan.

Could be! I had pizza for lunch and steak for dinner yesterday, you didn't have steak or pizza too did you??

There must be something in the food then! LOL Up and onwards! Mylotting

Heya dian! The day in question is now over and here I am back at my desk for work..... I ended up posting just this one discussion yesterday as I couldn't get motivated! lol. For the record, pretty much EVERYTHING I do is weird anyways! Hahahaha. Thanks for the response.

I know it's not a crime to sit idle, but my body says otherwise! lol. I'm terrible when it comes to lazing about or sleeping all day and things like that and always have been. It was one of those public holidays that fall into a working week too, (The first day of the working week is Sunday here in Egypt) so it wasn't long enough to really be able to unwind. I'm in the middle of a very busy campaign I designed at work too, so the day of stoppage in the middle of it all is kind of an inconvenience as well. It was a strange day all around actually. I have no concerns with eating a lot when I'm sitting around at home, but I didn't even feel like doing that either! Sometimes I guess we just end up despondent and uninspired. At least it was only for a day! You're lucky to have so many hobbies and interests to keep you busy though. I have this constant cycle of work eating up a majority of my week, so my free time is not always there to be maximized. This is probably why I struggled when finally given the opportunity! Thanks for the response stella.

My pleasure stella. You have a good attitude towards it all, so it wasn't a hard decision at all!

Hey thanks for marking mine as the best response James..!

I'm not someone whe seems to be even CAPABLE of lazing around, unfortunately! It's something I really do need to try and learn how to do! Even when I'm sick I can't lay in bed or veg out anywhere. Thanks for the response Dawn and I'll be sure to send the next holiday your way. By the way, they're mainly Middle Eastern related, so you'd better start doing your homework!

I had a homework allergy for the entire duration of my schooling! lol. Thank God they never came up with a cure.

I was allergic to homework for many years after I had to stay in college an extra year, all because a required course got canceled due to lack of enrollment (enough people came around on the first day to enroll, but it had already been canceled boo). I was so burned out for so long. But now I don't mind any more. Time to get out of the rut and start expanding my mind again.

Heya elitess! Oh, we ALL know what happens when you're away from your girlfriend mate. We get to see all your sexy pics disguised as fashion related genres! I've been downloading some movies the last day or so and will watch one of them tonight for sure. I usually watch them in bed to help me fall asleep. Thanks for the response.

Well, my Wife bought 2 new books over the weekend, see..... Yep, that Twilight series..... So as far as I'm concerned, my Wife has lost her face at the moment and a book with a body and feet is living in my house! Thanks for the response CJay. I shall go off and play some games now.....

It was having to take a break that got me bored in the first place! lol. I'm a positive guy, I just had me a bit of a slump yesterday is all. I had a bit of a strange stomach yesterday too, so my plans to go out for dinner and things like that just didn't end up happening. It's all behind me now and I'm rip roaring and ready to go! Thanks for the response Margarit and it's nice to see you again. It's been a while!

I miss my friends here so i just drop by and see if there is interesting topic to response. Actually i feel bored right now James, so i decided to go back to my past time habit by posting here. Good to know that Ive always find your discussion interesting. Hope you continue to post interesting discussion so that those inactive members here like me will have more reason to post.

I'll always try to stay interesting at least! lol. Anyways, there's plenty of things that are attention grabbing on this site, the issue is in finding the time to seek them out! I'll make a deal with you. I'll be sure to always try and remain interesting and you can try to be here regularly in return!

If I had a garden then I may have been well and truly sorted I think! We live in an apartment though, so that's not an option. I wouldn't have minded searching for buffalo herds! I've never actually done that before..... lol. Sometimes we just get a bit flat I guess and it was only the one day, so all's good now. Thanks for the response Theresa.

Oh! Don't shoo away the buffalo herd Theresa! Their collective crap will do wonders for your garden!

Yyyyep! Now that you've said it, I'll attend to my garden, and the buffalo herd has got to go! Shoo....!

Welcome to mylot strawberry31! Sleeping might be a good option for some, but I'm not a person who can sleep during the day very well unfortunately. The day is behind me now at least and today is a new one! As you said, you've been there before yourself, so I guess it was my turn! lol. Thanks for the response.

This is the thing, I'm not usually like this at all! But then again, I'm rarel sitting around for periods of time either..... Oh well, today is almost over and tomorrow's a new one! Maybe next time, I too need to give scrapbooking a try! Thanks for the response samijo.

Now baking would be a great thing to be doing! But we have no oven here. As for sleeping, not only can;t I sit still long enough to even FALL asleep; I find that if I sleeep during the day, then I can't get to sleep at night. I'm an insomniac already, so this doesn't help at all! Thanks for the response callahan and happy baking!
