Bored?

I hate the word bored.

Are you bored?

Well go fucking do something then, there is a world of infinite wonder and fascination out there, I honestly don't know how you find the time to be bored. Read a book. There's loads of them. You might learn something.

Learn a language. Listen to an album by a band you'd never heard of before. Bake a cake. Learn about the Zimbabwean political system. Write a poem. Sing in the club style. Cure cancer.

But for God's sake don't be bored.
Being "bored" is such a boring emotional state, not just for you for everyone you bore by telling them you're bored. Saying "I'm bored" infects other people, and makes them think they're bored. And it's self defeating.

The bored are the boring.
