My life at the moment is so intensely boring. Every day is exactly the same. Any ideas to break up the monotony? What do you do to keep your life interesting?

    ...of all that hard core rap that's gotten a little bit out of control

    it's cool dance
    but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
    give me a soft subtle mix
    and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
    and think of the summers of the past
    adjust the base and let the alpine blast
    pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
    and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

    school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
    a back then I didn't really know what it was
    but now I see what have of this
    the way that people respond to summer madness
    the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
    and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
    riding around in your jeep or your benzos
    or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos
    back in Philly we be ou in the park
    a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
    guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
    honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
    she turn around to see what you beeping at
    it's like the summers a natural afradesiac
    and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
    to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time

    it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
    hustle to the mall to get me a short set
    yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
    cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
    the temperature's about 88
    hop in the water plug just for old times sake
    break to ya crib change your clothes once more
    cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
    sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise
    about the days growing up and the first person you kiss
    and as I think back makes me wonder how
    the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
    all the kids playing out front
    little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
    while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
    then six o'clock rolls around
    you just finished wiping your car down
    it's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
    it looks like a car show
    everybody come lookin real fine
    fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
    every moment frontin and maxin
    chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
    leanin to the side but you can't spead through
    Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
    there's an air of love and of happiness
    and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness

    hey Harmless...maybe you should compete against yourself...I actually used to count how many times I had to use the spacebar in a single day...and then try to top it or tighten it...

    yep. i was bored.

    My wife would say - the only people who are bored are boring people.

    I, of course, would never suggest something like that...

    Hmmm... tell you what that post has done. Made me ask an important philsophical question. Am I that bored? :p

    Thing is though, if you took that game to its logical conclusion, you could just sit in front of a Word document with your finger on the spacebar for fucking hours.

    Hmm.. sounds fun.. be right back.

    my mom always said that.
    But there's a counter argument to that- if you are really interesting and interested in things, then it's harder to satisfy your need for stimuli.

    Well that just sounds like good times to me. Maybe you should buy a sword and take some shrooms.

    When I was in high school, I used to sit on my hand prior until it went numb in a pathetic attempt to spice things up..

    oh wow HLF! I didn't think you would be a cheater! sometimes, I say the total out loud. it seems to worry people when I get a high number i go WHOOOOO!!! it is just a way to like watermark your boredom. you forget how monotonous the daily work grind actually IS when you write down the numbers from everything you type through the course of the day. I then add the numbers up and one of the strangest things is when the number is high, I feel like good about my day. regardless of where i was typing. (websites, actual work, email, IM whatever.)
