We all encounter it. So do I. People associate boredom with idleness and lethargy. Boredom is oft known to drive people to fall to new depths to kill time. But it isnt always so, take me for an example, sheer boredom drove me to resume posting over here again.  I wouldnt say that the results have been awesome but hey, its a start. Boredom coupled with lack of sleep is a different ballgame altogether. Individually, boredom and lack of sleep cause nothing but anarchy but when the forces combine, a new burst of creativity(or insanity) is created. For example, as of now I’m bored AND sleep deprived and lookie lookie, I came up with a paragraph in less than 1 minute already.

Never underestimate the power of boredom. Its the sheer lack of things to do that drives a man to do something new. After a particularly long and monotonous day, an hour of boredom is essential to revitalize and refresh the overburdened grey cells. Boredom is often confused with idleness but let em tell you that they’re entirely two different entities. Idleness demands the lack of activity while boredom can hit you even when you’re in the midst of something seemingly exciting. Getting bored mid-way into a task often results in abominations(or the powerfuff girls) and must be avoided at all costs.

If  at all you choose to ignore the power of boredom and want to purge yourself of it, then feel free to IM random people on your list that theres a bug on your wall and as them their opinion on what should be done of it. Personal experience dictates that such conversations often last over an hour, giving you ample time to get rif of the boredom-ness in you.
