I don’t think I have ever been accused of being normal. Square maybe, but not normal. I have taken great strides to keep from having that label attached to me.<\/p>\n

For many, watching TV and movies, or playing video games are good ways to relieve boredom. I actually find these boring. These “mindless” activities only hold my attention for a little while, then I’m off to find something else to do. There are a few exceptions to that, but not too many. So, what am I going to do to relieve boredom? That depends on how severe it is.<\/p>\n

Minor cases can be addressed by reading something exciting, or working on graphic design projects. Since both of these are things that I do on a daily basis, they have their limits on how much they help. I might go outside and look for something to work on. That depends on my energy level and the weather, so it, too , has its limits. So, what comes next? Well, the answer is something that sets me aside from “normal.” When I get severely bored, I think.<\/p>\n

Games, movies, shows, books, mainstream entertainment cannot hold my attention when severe boredom strikes. Pondering is how I entertain myself at these times. The subjects are varied (many of the posts here are results, though) and may be simple or complex. I might even throw some problem solving. One time, I figured out how many miles the 10,000 steps we are supposed to take a day would cover if one step covered 3 feet (5.368 miles). I can tell you are tickled pink to know that.<\/p>\n

There are a few people that think I am weird for not liking movies and such. I just don’t think spending an hour and a half watching something holds a candle to solving a problem no one cares to figure out. If that makes me weird, so be it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
