I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

I thought it was American Psycho and then google confirmed it.

I love being boring. I like lifting, I like reading, I have to work and I like to play poker. I watch more tv than i should, but probably less than most, the only shows I watch regularly are The Office and The Ultimate Fighter, but I’m not above sitting down and flipping channels. I train strongman every saturday and have a contest every few months, so that’s a little variation in there. I like to sleep late when I can. If I have someone to ‘do something’ with, I like to go to a zoo or an aquarium, and also enjoy mini golf, bowling, and going for walks. I’d like to get a dog. You know, I really fucking love being boring. I was a little bummed about some stuff earlier today, but this reminded me there’s plenty I like. Thanks.[/quote]

I pretty much do all the same stuff as you (different shows) but I work, sleep as much as possible, train, SM events every Saturday morning, and try and compete every couple of months.

The other side of this coin is that I HATE being boring. I could pack up my bags right now and head somewhere, anywhere, and the only thing I would miss would be a small group of people and the great event training/group I have. The only thing holding me back is me but my brain is out to destroy me it seems.

It’s the unknown future that limits me.

I suppose for the last few months I’ve had an unusual life,I dropped out of college to make a go of professional rugby,and got a place in a professional subacademy as a result.I think if I get an academy contract next year and a full contract a couple of years after that,I’ll have succeeded in achieving my only definitive goal in life,which is to do something I love for a living,and feel young for as long as possible as a result.

That would make me pretty interesting if I succeed,I think.However this takes time,so at the moment during the off season I’m working like a dog at my job in the hospital,60 hours a week so that I can fund this adventure.So at the moment all I do is work and train.Pretty fucking boring.

Both my friend and I separate and ask 3 random strangers where they would travel in the US today if they could just hop on a plane and fly. We ask the stranger to write down the choice on a piece of paper, to ensure that neither me or my friend simply pick a place.

You are now officially my favourite person on this site.That is not only incredibly original and cool,it’s exactly the mentality I want to live my life by.Just do shit.I’m going to do this within the month,but going to do it by bus around Ireland so it’s way cheaper,I couldn’t afford to fly many places at the moment!Thanks for the idea,my summer just got far more interesting!

FUCK YOU.

I don’t have anything to prove to you, or anyone else for that matter.

Nah… I’m a boring fucker, to be honest.

26

I typed out my reasons but then I felt like a dick. Just take my word for it.

I would say boring has different meanings. I’m too poor to travel, which certainly would qualify as interesting but I do other interesting things.

I think the biggest key to being interesting is to:

  1. Not watch much tv…not having cable helps.
  2. NEVER talk about how little tv you watch. That is boring in its own way.
27

My life? Fucking boss.

I get to travel the world, searching for Sacred Urns of Ashes and finding dragon scales.

I get to play in the Super Bowl against one of my friends’ NFL teams that was created hand-by-hand, player-by-player in a fantasy draft.

I travel on the Highwind, seeking the preservation of Mako and the destruction of Sephiroth.

I get to fight with Captain America, Megaman, and M. Bison all on the same team - against Wolverine, Jill Valentine, and the Juggernaut.

My life is perfect.

Sometimes I watch t.v. AND listen to the radio at the same time.

We then get back together, look at our 6 options submitted by strangers, and pick. We buy a round trip plane ticket right there and go. I will admit that a couple of times we had to re-pick from the submissions due to price or the time until a flight was available, but other than that it is one of the things that I look forward to the most.

*It’s an awesome experience, try it. The only downside is sometimes we get the thorough shake down from security, simply because we buy the tickets the same day as our travel, but that is a pretty minor hitch and is something that I am fine with.[/quote]

How much does this usually run you?

Mmm… I’d say it’s boring, but that’s not to say that I’m upset with it or anything. Pretty much all of my friends does the same shit I do, with some variance of course.

I live at home with my parents. Don’t have a job, currently looking for one. I train, read books about training, watch TV and movies a lot (what can I say I love both), go to school, play video games, go out with my friends whenever possible, go to metal shows… I’d say I’m pretty adventurous, too. I love “doing shit”, however this “doing shit” happens on vacation… you know, the regular stuff, climbing up waterfalls and kiteboarding (did that in the DR), etc. And I wish I could do all this stuff but it’s not like I have a ton of money.

Even when I was in the Army, my life consisted of: wake up, class, nap, class, lunch, nap, class, lift, homework, watch something on my computer, go to sleep. The summers were a little bit more varied though, training is always a nice change of pace… helicopter rides, shooting an Abrams, conducting a platoon ambush, obstacle courses, etc. Training is different from living life on post though, Ft. Hood was pretty boring. It was: PT, breakfast, do some shit with the soldiers (whether this was setting up a range or OPORD brief), lunch, sit down in the office, go home for the day.

So I guess the answer for me is to find a career path that is exciting, or less boring. This is why I’m interested in becoming a police officer or firefighter.

32

Wouldn’t call myself EXCITING…I pretty much stick with the daily grind, and occasionally splurge when I feel like it. Never watch TV. Spend too much time on T-Nation this last month or two. Sometimes I get bored enough I hit the gym 2x in one day. Other days I can’t, for the life of me, seem to get a spare millisecond.

33

THis is a really cool thread. I LLLLOOOOOVE fucking with people, it makes me feel better about myself. Not fucking with people like “Your mom just died,” but more so like playing stupid and seeing how they react. When I am cutting, I eat cereal with water. Everytime I’m high, I react differently.My moods constantly fluctuate. Somedays I hate everyone, somedays I love everyone. I hate talking about the fucking weather with people at work. I’ll do anything to avoid that conversation. I really enjoy uncomfortable situations because I believe that I have some weird sort of mutation where I never really get embarassed or uncomfortable so I milk the power to the best of my ability.

34

I don’t do anything exciting. Go to school, play sports, and normal stuff. However, I do drive a '98 Cobra, so I guess that counts for something.

35

My life is not exciting to some, but it keeps me endlessly amused. Never fucking know what’s next.

That’s a good point. I also have this mutation where I rarely feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. I like it though, it’s also a very good trait to have when talking to women, as long as you know how to use it. I’m generally straight to the point like that and hate BS talk.

The plane tickets is usually $150-$250. We bring laptops with us so we can use travel sites to buy the tickets and there are usually surprisingly good deals, which I think has to do with the fact that the seats are available so close to departure that they just want to get rid of them no matter what. We do the same thing with hotels also, and can almost always find something great on the travel deal sites for around $50-$100 per night (which is cheap when its split between two people.

The rest of the trip price mostly depends on food and activities, as some areas are much cheaper than others. Some of the best bargains have been Montana and Louisiana, where as Florida and New York were pretty expensive. We’ve also learned savings tricks along the way, such as mentioning that your a AAA member for hotels and rental cars, and using student IDs (we’ve both graduated) at almost every place imaginable.

Dragon Age, Madden, FF7, and MvC2.

I think I’ll save my money and stay boring. And stay safe.

I ran across a train bridge and jumped off and swam to shore.

Why? because I needed to feel alive.

…not boring but not…well anything worth being.
