Boredom

I don't really have much to say at the moment, but I figured I'd get my very first non-micro-blog posting out of the way.

I'm sitting on my couch in my PJs at 9am on a Thursday morning and because I'm taking a vacation day I'm contemplating drinking my face off! Luckily for me I'm scheduled to play tennis later today so I will have to hold off on the boozing until a much more socially acceptable hour.

I should be unpacking various boxes and organizing things around my new apartment, but instead I'm finding all kinds of not very interesting things to do in an attempt to lift the fog of boredom from my mind... Here's a list of crap I do because I need a distraction:

1. Facebook (I'm addicted to Facebook, I may need a 12-step program)
2. Drink (we've gone over this)
3. Smoke cigarettes (usually this is linked to #2)
4. Surf porn on the internet (hello I'm a guy)
5. Watch cartoons (yes I still channel my inner 6 year old)
6. Pace around my apartment and think about all the things I want to do to it (note how I avoid the actual work part by having deep thoughts?)

Now you've probably realized that these are all fantastic time waster activities, which of course means I accomplish almost nothing in my downtime. Perhaps I need to rethink my boredom strategies a little.
