Wasted every time.

Wasted. Often boredom leads to wasted IME

By boredom I mean sitting in a room by yourself
And by wasted I mean at 3 o'clock in the morning dry heaving, crouched over the toilet

Wasted is irreversible for a number of hours and often comes with miserable side effects. At least boredom is reversible, because you can still think.

Ok, Mr McKaye

Boredom when I have nothing to do isn't so bad. I can just go for a walk or something. Being in a boring situation that I can't get out of, at work say, is much worse.

No contest. Wasted - however grand or miserable - at least is not boredom. Pure boredom equals death.

LBI otm and the whole boredom only occurs to boring people speech is a crock of shit

Unchanging Window (Ross), Monday, 5 June 2017 00:30 (six years ago) link

boredom is just an opportunity

Being bored while wasted is the worst however.

Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatingly) ‘Ever to confess you’re bored
means you have no

Inner Resources.’ I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
literature bores me, especially great literature,
Henry bores me, with his plights & gripes
as bad as achilles,

who loves people and valiant art, which bores me.
And the tranquil hills, & gin, look like a drag
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

being bored suggests being stuck in a situation out of obligation, being wasted suggests the opposite

ogmor, Monday, 5 June 2017 13:23 (six years ago) link

I want to hear more about the dog

Boredom has the prospect of relief at yr choice

Wasted ime means you're gonna pay for this in the morning

I like to learn foreign languages.

Violet Jax (Violet Jynx), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 11:47 (six years ago) link

the key question here is wasted on what exactly - are we talking booze-only?

he's also fouled up with NON-FAT (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 11:49 (six years ago) link

... like Sadiq Khan after he's been at the Cobras?

Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 12:52 (six years ago) link

That's going to be funny to me for at least a week. Anyway, Ross kind of OTM; this is a bit of a chicken egg pickle (not the sandwich).

to my gentle senses?

mookieproof, Saturday, 10 June 2017 00:29 (six years ago) link

With the internet this is now a thing of the past
