Reasons why I will retire the statement “I am bored”
1. I rarely find that I am actually bored. The worst commercial can hold at least some interest for me :) I’ve just realized that when I say “I am bored” I am making a false statement and what I really mean is “are you doing something that is interesting and if so can I join?” I could be as entertained and as happy as a clam and subconsciously (with all good intentions) throw out a false “I am bored” for kicks! Who am I!?
2. Yesterday at the Cactus car wash, I found myself to be actually a slight bit bored! Ok, SO bored. Bored but blessed (They were making my car pretty again :) My whiny self thinks “I am SO bored”. Then I remember how my dear friend just told me that when she was younger, she had a Beta fish in one of those honey I shrunk the bowls (purple glass bowls) that lived for two years. Oh, and his name was “Nurple”.
Can you imagine just staring and treading for 2 years, looking out at a purple world? Oh and people referring to you as “Nurple”?
I’ll never say that I am bored again. I’ll just think of “Purple Nurple” and be comforted with the knowledge that I will never be THAT bored.
3) “I am bored” coming from my mouth means that I am to lazy to procure entertainment and want it to fall in my lap. This is ridiculous b/c I am blessed with too many amazing friends and live in a wonderful city. There is always an option for boredom rescue.
All this to say, I am a reformed “I am bored” sayer :)
….and this type of post is what happens when I have not slept
