BOREDOM

"The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes."quoted from Susan Sontag.  Though putting this quote into consideration is it really possible to avoid boredom? Isn't bordom one of those things you cant cant escape from? Its almost like if you had to overcome everything done in an Indiana  Jones movie, would we actually be able to outrun a gigantic rock trying to crush us, swing from dangling lights and collect a lost treasure that the government has been hiding for the past 20 years. We would probably die before any of this would really need to be done if you put this into a real life scenario, instead of an action film. Thus we face the greatest conundrum known to us, avoiding the mediocre term we know as boredom. Thus bringing myself to my point is it really possible to outrun boredom?

Today I somehow managed to have a break from my crazy dysfunctional life as I was completely and utterly bored out of my mind(Which is NOT something which happens very often.). Now dont get me wrong I usually always hope for a break from my own crazy life. Though I will admit now that I regret it terribly, I finally had a day to do absolutely nothing and be in peace and yet I never found it. I was alone in my house all day and could not find anything to entertain myself with, even when I tried to take a nap to escape the boredom it did not cease to go and I just ended up needing to remake my bed. After this I attempted to sit through a  movie and eat a frozen pizza. To those reading this going 'Well thats not to bad.' It was, I basically resulted into tearing pieces of pizza, throwing them into the air and catching them with my mouth. Therefore by doing this I created a massive mess that consisted of pizza source and melted cheese all over my living room floor(Damn my terrible aim) and them had to clean it all up( Which is worse than being bored in my opinion.). After the pizza fiasco I then decided to find funny pictures of cats which I found on Google until my parents came home to feed me. A day in my opinion which was highly wasteful, though now that I think about it, something that would be quite funny for other people to know.

Thus bringing me to my final point, are we able to truly escape from the torture known as endless boredom? Or do we have to just flow with it? If you are reading this and you have been bored throughout your life( surely yes because your reading this) let me know and feel free to comment and tell me of your wondrous tales of boredom, or maybe simply tell me how to avoid boredom so I dont need write another crappy submission, and write something a lot more epic and entertaining.
