Experimentation in Boredom, Vol. 1

I'm writing this journal update from my blackberry. I mention this for several reasons: first, to make you jealous that I do, in fact, have a blackberry. I am important, see. Mostly, I mention this because my typing proficiency on this is roughly 1/10th of what it is on a normal keyboard. I expect you all to not only acknowledge the herculean effort I am making here to keep you, the reader, entertained and informed, but also to reward it. Preferably with sandwiches, beer or breasts. Your choice.

Anyway, life is in a bit of flux for me right now. My job drags on interminably. I am at the point where today I wondered for a good three hours whether I had ever been this bored doing anything in my life, ever. I concluded I hadn't, and strangely enough that thought was comforting.

Meanwhile, my roommate recently told me he was moving out once he found a place, which could take days or months. Actually, as I write this, he just texted me to say he found one. (Thanks again, blackberry!) So yeah. I either need a new roommate or will be paying for the place by myself from now on. Joy.

Meanwhile MEANWHILE, I'm still having a hard time missing the ladyfriend and I don't know when she will get here. Its something we are doing our best to deal with, but its been more stressful than I think either of us anticipated. Not unbearable, just tough.

In short, I'm tired. Tired of waiting for things to "work out". For that next stage of things to happen. For me to get on with my life as I want to live it. At the same time, I'm mature enough to know that life is a long series of these transitory periods. They'll never really end until they end.

So that's kind of it. Things are fine, really. Just they are as they are.

Le sigh.

Comforting boredom?
Next thing you know, you'll think to yourself.
"I wonder if a cat would make things more interesting."


The transitory periods, they make the rewards sweeter. Or something cliche like that, absence and chocolate and fondant or something like that. I've personally discovered that Skype is okay, but until it has teleportation features, it will remain a poor substitute.

Go see Iron Man, it'll make things slightly more interesting for a couple of hours.

And this alone already puts you ahead of so many, never mind your Blackberry and any other sterling qualities. ( wink )

I just had a conversation with someone about how it seems like a lot of people think, "Once I get hired, or married, or drunk, laid, etc., I'll be in my Happily Ever After and then I can just cruuuuuuuise." I wonder if it makes them more sad when it doesn't turn out that way, that life isn't about surviving a single event and then enjoying a permanent reward.

By the way, HOLY SHIT at that picture productiondiva posted here. If I walked in and saw that I would cry.

I have certainly used by Crackberry to check messages here before, but have not ever attempted to write something of such length, as mostly I'm just surprised the site (or any site) is all that usable on the thing. So congratulations on that fine accomplishment.

I wonder ... were you comforted by the fact that you could conclude you had never before been THAT bored because it was a new personal best for boredom or because having acknowledged the level of boredom that existed you could move on to thinking about other things?

A) Color me jealous.

B) Better a Herculean task than a sisyphian one.

C) *cough* rent my apartment in the east bay *cough*

D) transitory periods kinda suck, but they are really awesome to look back on. Yeah, that was kinda lame in the comforting spiel category, but it's all I've got at the moment.

I'm feeling those transitory period blues myself, mostly because it's stretches out at least a year ahead (so far).

You better feel better right now.
Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals!
With the way Boston has been playing, more than likely all the way to the Finals!
Still, it'll be tough if BababababababBBBBillups is still hurt.

oh man, I just read your journal after I posted about Sheed. Now I kind of feel like a jerk.

Good things are right around the corner, just do you best to stay positive.

Thank you.

I'm not sure if I like the idea yet. I think I have now successfully advertised that everywhere.

Probably because now I have to market that site, and I'm practicing. Ha. At least I have a closet full of suits.

Agreed, the Pistons do match up better with the Celtics, especially the way Ray Allen has been playing lately.
