I was so bored last night, being without access to the Internet, that I opted for watching a movie.I managed to watched a movie I've seen 3 times, already.Boredom gets the best of me; so much so that I overate last night. It started just fine. Three banana splits later, I had lost any trace of sleep. The horrendously hot weather we've had did not really help. At 5 AM, I got up and made myself a

California, USA (Jokes Palace Newsroom) – Jeffery Goldstein, the actor whose embarrassing line "I love when it says "You've got mail!", won him enemies the world over, passed away last night due to extreme unbelievable boredom.

Teachers can attest to the "learning loss" that occurs over a three-month long summer break. Children come back to school out of the habit of reading and need weeks of reviewing old material to bring them back up to speed.

Having a two and a half year old is TIRING. The constant chatter, the 'mommy, he'p me?'s, all the energy... I've been limiting the amount of sleep he gets. I wake him at 7:30 in the morning and only let him sleep for an hour in the afternoon so this is probably why I'm feeling the strain lately. But sleeptimes were getting to be too much for me otherwise. Does anyone else do this? Elliot tri

Monotonous duties switch our brain to "rest mode", whether we like it or not, the researchers report in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. They found mistakes can be predicted up to 30 seconds before we make them, by patterns in our brain activity.

I had a terrible back and shoulder pain yesterday that gave me a terrible headache. I guess because I have been blogging too much!!!! lols!!!.. The whole day I am infront of the computer... geee!!

1) Ramp up the walking. OK, you're bored with walking every day. Sure you're getting in your 10,000 steps, but it's getting old. Not a problem. How about changing locations. Get out of the mall and go outdoors. Make new friends as you walk. Take friends along. Time goes fast when you're walkin' and talkin'. 2) Step it up. That means add more sweat to that walk. Add more hill work and/or increase your speed.3) Take the heart-rate challenge. Take 220 minus your age and then aim for a heart rate that's 60 percent of that number for a moderate workout. Keep that heart rate for 10-15 minutes of your 30-minute workout. To add intensity, increase your heart rate to 70 percent. Once you do this for six to eight weeks, you can increase to 80 percent for five-minute intervals throughout your workout

Boredom is one of the worst threats to a cat's health. It can lead to serious problems like weak muscles, lesser immunity and in more grave cases, chronic depression and kidney problems. In fact, the sudden changes in the cat's behavior that owners fail to comprehend often lead them to think that the cat is mentally unwell. In many cases, this culminates in euthanasia or giving away of the pet. Try to take care of your beloved cat's mental health and do not just give her away because if you see the symptoms of depression. Try these Healthy Cat Behavior Solutions * Try to get a friend for your cat. How would you feel if you had to stay at home all day with no one to talk to? Terrible, isn't it? Then why would you make your pet, which you love so much, go through this traumatic experience d

Is It All Just A Game? - A Fight Against BoredomBy: Ivan Cuxeva Jr One of the first things we ever learn to do is play. Like all animals, human beings seem born with a thirst for challenge, an urge to compete. As our world becomes increasingly divorced from nature, the need is perhaps even greater than ever for activities which hone the senses, gird the loins, and stir the adrenaline.Probably the first games were in training for the hunt and for war, often deadly serious contests for position in the tribe. Developing skills in the absence of actual danger is part of what makes our species so successful in maintaining low mortality rates. This is reflected in modern recreational habits; from gridiron to X-Box, the tribal imperative to victory lives on at every level of the culture.It doesn

This is the best written description for the cause of boredom I have ever come across. From the book The Heart of the Soul by Gary Zukav. “Boredom is the failure to find an activity or circumstance interesting enough to divert your awareness from what you are feeling.”

Life is never boring but some people choose to be bored. The concept of boredom entails an inability to use up present moments in a personally fulfilling way. Boredom is a choice; something you visit upon yourself, and it is another of those self-defeating items that you can eliminate from your lifeWAYNE W. DYER, Your Erroneous ZonesI am bored right now. At my work we are still in the reorganization period and I have not been given an interesting assignment yet. I have some small things that I am working on, but not too much. Being bored at work and being single is not the best situation for me, I feel like I don´t get enough stimulation and I start thinking too much.I guess there can´t always be something happening, but that is still kind of what I am used to and what I want.

Take Detailed Notes to Earn Bonus Points (and Prevent Boredom) [Meetings] Being stuck in a meeting that has little to do with your actual work can feel like a waste of time—but don't zone out out of habit. The Corporate Hack blog suggests that even if your meeting isn't, well, enthralling stuff, taking detailed notes on what was said, who's going to tackle the issues brought up, and other topics can score you serious points with the boss, whether or not you're the designated note-taker. It also helps prevent your mind from wandering in a way that's obvious from a glance, and if there's really nothing to note, you can always (surreptitiously) plan out your own action list for after the meeting. How do you put a pen and paper to good use during your round-table time? Share your se

Gremlins get bored from time to time. I know you must be shocked. In fact, the real shocker is that we all get bored every once in awhile. Not that we don't have anything to do, quite the contrary.

When I was a teenager, I remember wishing I had all the designer goodies some of our "well to do" friends had, if for no other reason than to have the same things they have. But I was also realistic about what my parents could and could not afford. We got what we got. If we wanted something more expensive, we could save our money and buy it ourselves. Now I see the same things in my son, and am

From Easy Does It, Feb. 1 : "Boredom is a form of conceit. When we are bored, we are saying,'Okay life, you are not doing your job of keeping me entertained.' To think that life, or those around us, or the world itself is here primarily to keep us amused and entertained is stinking thinking'. This thinking can screw up our attitude and take us back to the point where our addiction seems like the only way out of that boredom".I remember a friend who used to describe her life as 'boring, boring'. She couldn't wait to move, in the hope that life somewhere else would be more interesting. For me, boredom is a slippery time. Just like it says in this quote above, boredom and lonliness were two of my triggers for acting out.I think of people who say "I'm killing time". What a very scary expressio

That's Vegas, and it sounds sooo passé.If you missed the best Western Movie Award (the flick was over even before the generic started), here's the pitch : Warner kills H.D. DeeVeeDee and picks Blu-ray. The 15 Warholian Minutes Award went to Wistron and its GW4 Android smartphone. Google's rival didn't get as much attention, but at least those who heard about Yahoo!

Welcome to another "HOW-TO" edition of Hershey's cave.Recently I have been getting a lot of power cuts in the house, which would be fine because we were prepared for it. Unfortunately the inverter doesn't seem to be working. Damn electricians. They could hook the damn thing to my fan but couldn't attach my lights. So basically at night I am thankful for not feeling hot and sweaty(wish I could though...but under different circumstances...ah..crude guy humor) however, I can't see my hair because the room is pitch black.I like my hair and prefer to see it before falling asleep.Anyway,Sometimes when the lights go off I tend to get a little crazy, do goofy things, say funny stuff, make silly noises etc etc. Gets rid of the boredom. Also, if you are in a group, it works wonders to get a few gig

Today has been one long day of nothing. Normally, I’d quite enjoy that idea, but today it’s just left me bored out of my mind. I’ve done nothing but try to arouse myself from the boredom which induced sleepy and hungry moments, both of which have not been appealing in any way shape or form. I feel so unproductive. I have at least 6 weeks of French homework staring at me, wanting me to look at it, hoping that I would just TRY to make an effort, but I can’t. I have no desire. I feel so sleepy. I think it’s a mix of the weather and the fact that I had NO SUN whatsoever today. I like that, believe me I do. I love the rainy weather it’s just my body has yet to adjust. We get a day of rain followed by 6 of sun, so it’s taking it’s time. I’m not sure what to even blog about truthfully. I find myself craving from food from my job, but I don;t want to drive all the way out there, let alone spend money lol. I’m so cheap. I dont know wh

When martial artists, or any person involved in physical training spends a certain time period using the same workout routine, boredom will soon develop. This boredom can involve the person being mentally bored of doing the same repetitive workout. Training the same exercises, at the same time, on the same days for instance can create boredom that can sometimes be so off putting that the person may even skip workouts. There is also the physical boredom that develops in your muscles. When training the biceps for example, if preacher curls are the only exercise used, with the same weight, for the same amount of reps and sets, then the muscle will eventually get used to the training and will stop growing and developing. The key is to change your workout every now and then. Train on different days at different times during the day, concentrate more on weights sometimes and then change to concentrate on cardio. Do heavy weights for a period, then train light weights explosively. For a week

Watching and waiting is a position. If the thought of this is boring, you may not be cut out to become a successful forex trader.A lot of people ask me “how many hours do you trade the forex?” and my answer is that I generally trade every trading day from the start of the London Open until the end of the New York session and occasionally beyond.At the weekend I usually carry out various forex studies and I read various publications from other prominent traders.I do think that it is important to explain that although I am trading for a lot of hours, this does not mean that I am in an active trade for all of that time, in fact I am on average in an active trade for very little of that time.Many new and inexperienced traders seem to have the idea that trading is about placing trades, and

Here we are the day after Halloween! It seems like only yesterday that I was bitching about the hot weather and the drought. Just goes to show that time flies when you're having fun or not as the case has been at my house lately.On the upside, trick-or-treating went well. There was no crying about a costume that didn't fit right, look right or that was duplicated by another kid down the street. This was our first time for trick-or-treating this far south. Southerners really make Halloween a major production! Churches have Trunk or Treat where the entire church parking lot is filled with parked cars with the hatches open or with open trunks filled with candy, baked goods and small toys for the children. Even with all the festivities at the local churches our neighborhood was filled with little ghouls and goblins and their parents. The kids wanted to visit some of the neighbor's houses, and I went along with it. We were actually invited in for a light supper at two of the hous

Dear DiaryI don't know how to break this to you. I've been wrestling with my thoughts all day and can't bear it any longer. You see, I've not been completely honest with you. I'm nothing but a dirty, rotten user.Right now I have nothing good to say to help brighten your day or bring a smile to your beautiful face. I don't plan on taking the time to ask how you are and this is probably the first time I've ever shown you any sort of respect. I write purely out of selfish, boredom-alleviating reasons, and to offer myself a means of escape from my monotonous task of mailing out House of Brothers EP promo CDs, which I have been doing for the best part of three hours now. It's not that I don't love you, because I do, in my own special way, it's just that I fear that this is all you will ever be to me. Someone I only turn to you in these such times, and not, as I should, to dedicate any true amount of care or affection towards you. You will never be anything more than a bit on the s

Well its dark outside now and the sky is still covered in clouds.  I have the little tower space heater running because the house is cold and I don’t want to turn the heat up.  Everyone is gone anyway.  Coyote is at Nicks planning for tomorrows Halloween party and Mouse is at my mothers.   I still have a little bit of work left to do but now a whole lot.  But after that there is a pile of clothes on the couch and that will mean ironing.  There’s more in the dryer and more in the washer.  My life is so pitifully domestic.

How do you write a Steelers recap on a week where they have no game? Well, we could talk about what they did (or will be doing). It looks like Fast Willie is on the cover of ESPN: The Mag. Big Ben got his numbered retired at The U (saturation coverage by Big Ben News). And Jeff Reed probably practiced for his gig at Wolfie's bar this Thursday. Other than that, no one got arrested, no one tried to auction their car, and no one made much of a blip on the radar. It was kind of boring.So I guess we'll have to talk about the rest of the league. Unfortunately, they didn't give us much more to talk about. A few random thoughts...--The most glaring observation from this week was the state of quarterbacking in the NFL, best illustrated in the Carolina-Arizona, Testaverde vs. Rattay showdown in the late game. Maybe this season will make teams reconsider the decision to have only 2 QBs on the roster.--How long until Kordell gets the call to come back?--The Jets-Eagles game was so big, ESPN dis

Time and again they prove they are utter c*nts. Well maybe they're trying to be more c*nty. Like trying to tap up Fabregas by talking shit in their spanish fecking tabloids.I'm still fuming about the whole TH14 saga. It was those C*nts who regularly came up with stories of henry signing for them.Speaking of TH, I'm quite surprised by his quotes about our club. Unlike other players who left, Henry has always spoken good about Arsenal. Unlike Ljunberg, unlike Viera, unlike wil

Imagine being a cat sitting home all day with the curtains closed with nothing to do and no one to interact with. If you lived in the wild your natural cat behavior would lead you to watch birds and bugs, roam, chase, jump, hide, pounce and spend half a day happily looking for a mouse to eat. You also could defend your territory and flex your muscles. Indoor cats that don't get exercise, stimulation and good food can suffer from boredom that can lead to depression or illness.Watch for Signs of BoredomIf your cat's behavior is not what you hoped it would be, it might be because he or she is bored or lonely. Here are some common cat behavior signs you may notice.1. Moving small items or objects of clothing around the house while you're gone.2. Pulling out clumps of its hair or obsessively over-grooming.3. Knocking things off countertops.4. Spraying or squatting to mark territory with deposits of urine or stool.5. Expressing with excessive vocalization, most likely to let you know its

Gawd I'm fickle. I can spend days on this laptop doing absolutely nothing - where the fuck does the time go? It's the same with XBOX - I bought one and spent days (which seemed like five minutes just tossing time out the window trying to increase my power meter just one more notch.But now I can't be arsed. I can't be arsed about a lot of things lately. I'm just so - meh. Lifeless even. See that film Trainspotting with Renton with the scene featuring Renton in the pub being clean for a change and life whizzes past? That's me that is. Content to sit and do nothing. Except, at the same time I feel I'm wasting my life. Shouldn't I be doing something worthwhile? Is there a whale somewhere that needs saving?When I left school I was a cock. But that's irrelevant. I had one career option in mind: something to do with computers. Hmm. Bit of a wide span of options there. I just couldn't narrow them down. Programmer? Too boring. Office worker? Maybe generic enough to warrant a 'yes'.

It all started with Dominique and me thinking that 3000 km is too long to drive. That’s when we looked into flying to Darwin, but we soon discovered that a one way flight is around 400 to 500 AUD. Far too expensive for our liking. That same day we started to make a little flyer, copied it and handed it out to backpackers and put it up in hostels and internet cafes around Cairns. We didn’t actually expect many people to call, but apparently there’s loads of people looking for a lift to the Top End, as we got flooded with requests. The next morning we met Julien, a french guy, and Yuto, a japanese bloke, in a cafe in town. They seemed nice and relaxed enough that we agreed to tackle those 3000 km together, starting at 8 am the next day. The drive from Cairns back down to Townsville was uneventful. In Townsville we bought water and food, filled the car and the spare tank up with gasoline and we were on our way into the outback. None of us really knew what to expe

Most couples reached the stage of boredom even if they are still very in love with each other. They failed to introduce new and different dating ideas to bring spice into their relationship. Boredom in a relationship is not a good thing. Relationships do fall into this boredom trap. Couples tend to ignore the relationship once established thinking it will always be there or will always be the same. With this thinking most couples fall apart and get bored with their relationship. If you really love your p

Not much to say really, just thought I'd post on the ol' blog today for an update. Other than playing dark age of camelot, posting on various forums, and the general surfing the web type of stuff I haven't really been doing much of anything. I've been reading a lot, and chatting with friends. Little anxious about an upcoming doctor's appointment next week. They want to do x-ray's to check on the stints that were placed in my heart after my heart attack. So I'm crossing my fingers that all is well. I found a download of the Michael Moore documentary Sicko, and I can understand 100% what those people go through having no insurance myself and having medical bills since my heart attack coming in the mail totaling upwards of 54 thousand dollars that I have no way of paying. I'm hoping my application with disability will be accepted so that I have some way to get medical help and to pay for all this. It really sucks being broke and unable to work at the moment.Anyhow the weekend is a

This coming week will be my last week of my holiday. Boredom I've encountered in this long holiday might have lead to laziness in me. YP just wanted to sit in front of the computer and do nothing. I am not productive this week other than one special activity. Things had been repetitive and I don't really have a serious task to work on. For the last two weeks, I still have some minor activities like hanging out with friends but activities like that had been decreasing from the start of the holiday.What I am scared of is that all these boredom might had lead to a hidden surge towards laziness. I feel like I'm not going out, I don't feel like surfing the web, I don't want to keep replying to threads in forums and so on... I just want to sit there, eat, sleep and eat again...I still have something 'productive' to do like messaging with a special person (just can't be lazy, right?) but can it be the only activity to make up my 7 days to come? My brother is still playing with his Red

This is my second week back home after coming back from home last Sunday. I think at this time my college pals are living their life to 'their most'. Edgar might be sitting in front of his rig whole day, playing those online games which sounds so weird to me, Corey is traveling around, using his Motorola E398 (changed?) to snap pictures here and there. Jason, being the closest to accounting even in this holiday had went to work in some anonymous company to get some hands-on approach in accounting.What am I doing?! I am basically doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. In the end, nothing was done by me. I've done three gatherings with old pals, utilising the computer and text messaging whole day long, and yes, managing my virtual Manchester United with Football Manager 2007. I also messed up the whole Investopedia stock simulator of mine so nothing to boast of now...I don't have have many weeks left (I mean my holiday, not life) and I think this three weeks is really t

The shooting is finished, (for the time being), and I am dreadfully tired of editing and keywording. So, while I was batching some images I thought I would throw at myself a bit of a self challenge. I am always challenging myself while shooting, and many times I will challenge myself at the computer with something out of Photoshop, Painter, or maybe Studio Artist. Helps to keep the mind fresh! The first image was created from 10 different images. I only used the clone tool in Photoshop, … and nothing else at all! It makes you think, to think ahead, to learn about whatever program you are using at the moment. Using the different brush sizes, the “replace” mode only, the difference in “hardness”, … really makes you think what you are doing in order to come up with something that may be interesting. The one thing that I admit, that “escaped my mind”, was the relationship in scale from one selected piece/subject to the other subjects. Oh we

Once a month Shannon of Rocks In My Dryer hosts a themed edition for Works-For-Me-Wednesday. This time around the topic is how to help kids beat the summertime boredom blues. Here are a few tips and suggestions I have to hopefully prevent boredom from even becoming a factor. Part of the reason kids get so bored in the summer is because there is no apparent structure to their day. They are used to being in school where they were accustomed to plans and routines. Half the battle in fighting boredom is providing a general and loose schedule for the children, especially younger ones. For example, this summer I am going to make sure to do the following things every day with my kids, preferably around the same time each day. Of course we will also keep flexibility and spontaneity in mind: Quiet time (playing, coloring, reading, etc.) Educational time (practice math skills, write reports, practice handwriting, cook, arts and crafts, science and nature, etc.) Spend time outside to he

The concept of boredom is supposedly a relatively recent development in the history of mankind. According to this idea, humans were historically so focused on toil and survival that to experience what we know as boredom was unfathomable. This theory holds that boredom is a byproduct of our post-industrial age. Like our ability to produce atomic energy, we are unequipped to appropriately dispose

"An astonishing science fiction phenomenon." -- The Washington Post"Powerful, convincing, and most ingenious." -- Robert A. Heinlein"One of the monuments of modern science fiction." -- Chicago Tribune"I know nothing comparable to it except Lord of the Rings." -- Arthur C. Clarke.And atop my copy of Dune: "Science Fiction's Supreme Masterpiece."Who was it that said, "Don't believe the hype"? Whoever said it, I wish I had taken his words to heart before setting out to read Dune. Perhaps if my expectations hadn't been so high the letdown wouldn't have been so severe.So the lesson is learned (once again): Don't believe the hype.My own reading rule is to give a novel either 50 pages or 10% -- whichever is longer -- before setting it aside. That means I give a novel sufficient time to rivet my imagination and stimulate my intellect before giving up. This is generous on my part; I know someone who gives a novel only three pages -- three pages, man -- before tossing it. That's just

Its 12am, iam tired but cannot sleep, hungry...that i can eat the whole zebra if i want. No matter what country you are from, wherever you are studying, no matter what subject, when it comes to exam times... you automatically feel sick!Yups! they always come in package, exam = sick!.

This little survey was on "someones" blog... except she moved to VOX and I refuse to register and join VOX so I can't comment on ANY of her posts! And for the record - if she see's this - there is no #9. What happened to number 9? 1. When the phone rings. Who do you want it to be?Don't care. I hate talking on the phone.2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?Almost always. Have you ever wanted to turn into a parking spot only to have some moron left THEIR cart there?

Bore,n: A person who talks when you wish him to listen.Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's DictionaryA bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you.Bert Leston Taylor, The So-Called Human RaceThe cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.Dorothy ParkerEvery improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible.Frank Moore ColbyGood-bye. I'm leaving because I'm bored.George Saunders, last wordsA bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.Gian Vincenzo GravinaThe capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.H.L.MenckenThe nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it's their fault.Henry Kissinger

This time, I decided to change my blogskin. Not that I have anything against the previous one, but since I'll be busy this summer, as well as in the incoming school year, I might as well invest on a skin I know I can read properly, no matter what screen resolution I may use.But of course, the absence of reasonable thought is something I didn't account for.So now I shall rant about the quality of songs / the music industry / how overrated music[ians] have become nowadays. This is the product of the lack of productivity. You are free to spam/flame/et al but you really have to read this first. Are we clear? Good.~+~+~+~Lately, I've been taking a daily dose of music videos, modern music and the like and I have to say that I am disappointed at both the musical quality and the lyrical quality of the songs. And when I say I am disappointed, it's an understatement.Now I didn't primarily target every single artist/band/group who has had a music video/recording contract when I thought of th

It seems like Thursdays are typically slow. Nothing seems to happen, business-wise or money-wise. I'm not sure why that is, it just is. Oh, well. There are times that this happens when I just take a break and go through some of my sillier sites on the Web.A few of my favorites is Compused.com, Ebaum's World, FunnyPop.com, which has some funny stuff, GKKO.com, and I love watching some of the goofier videos on YouTube and LiveVideo. As a businessman, sometimes checking out these things even stirs ideas. Of course, I'm always thinking in everything I do, "how can I use this to help my business." You'd be surprised at some of the things that have come to me.Anyway, I don't know if Thursdays are the same for you, but you may want to check out some of the goofy sites for a good giggle.Here's to your success!Tony

For this week’s video, I’ve got something that is a fantastic street race involving Hot Wheels cars. There are some pretty impressive special effects and set pieces in this bad boy that have got to be seen to be believed. I originally found this on a fellow 451 Press blog, Automotive Blogger. Let me just say right now that it’s a fantastic blog if you even have just the slightest interest in cars. I have to warn you all that this video comes from MySpace. Don’t worry; it will not molest you in any way. RoadRaceAdd to My Profile | More Videos toy, toy collecting, Hot Wheels, race, chase, MySpace, video, car, automotive

The web sure slows down on the weekend doesn’t it? In an effort to keep both you and I entertained, I found some videos that I’d like to share in a new feature I like to call Boredom Breaker Sunday. Sit back, relax, and check out this video that is a take on Indiana Jones done with Legos, complete with a great twist at the end. toys, toy collecting, Lego, Indiana Jones

Borderless Boredom I heard on the radio about theatrical plays. For instance, there is a 14-day run of a certain play. A performer should act the same way with the same feelings like the first night for the 14 consecutive days. I say to myself that this is a hard job. After some rumination,...

Sitting in my room on the computer doing nothing. Nothing's on TV - The Mint used to be great for this time of night but now it's hardly ever on - it's that "Make Your Play" thing... and that's extremely annoying.My room is a complete tip - I have a Fries to Go packet from last night on my desk... along with 2 glasses and a load of electrical equipment haha.My TV failed on me today again - the box just wouldn't turn on at all - that's when I was trying to watch Big Brother. What a retarded machine!I tried to order that camera on ebay... it was a really good one... but then they told me I couldn't buy it because I had a "rating of -1 or lower" [that's because I bid on things I don't want at all... just for fun, and then not pay for them haha] so I was pretty gutted and emailed the company that was selling them begging them to let me buy it haha. It said on the Forbes website that eBay was "going down" because of the scoring system. I totally agree. =]I tried to make a "favicon

What do you do when you're bored? Do you send emails to friends? Do you play cricket in the hallways of your work place? Do you Photoshop pictures of David Hasselhoff? Or do you obsessively clean your house... not that I have done any of these things. Everyone has different ways of coping with boredom. And although most of us think that boredom is a bad thing, there is some support to the notion that boredom is a naturally occurring emotion, and far from being suppressed, it should be embraced.

Weekends are always the slowest days for me because there’s little to do and all my problems seem to popup at said time. Good thing I stumbled into Everyday Weekender. I found his topics about, well weekends, were just what I needed to kick off and have fun those boring interludes. He also provides PR 5 link backs for reviews of his blog (like this one), If you want to read more, just click the title
