I don’t often do what EVERYBODY DOES and just use this space to sound off about the petty complaints of my life. If I am going to moan, I like to go for the full howl.<\/p>\n

Today I realised, having been exasperated, frustrated, tense and generally dissatisfied for a while, having been sighing and muttering and feeling lethargic and then pacing the room that the PROFOUND reason for this is that I am doing the same few things too often<\/b> and I AM JUST SIMPLY BORED.<\/p>\n

This is a bad state of mind because I either implode or explode after too long being BORED. I start to find perfectly acceptable things insufficient; I begin to feel mild psychosis if it goes unchecked. ANYTHING is better than this, I tell myself (it isn’t). Even my creative work feels BORING. The place I am, inside and outside – BORING. I’m sure I am doing everything well enough and it’s probably what I should be doing but Jesus, it’s not exactly thrilling me right now.<\/p>\n

I am now boring to myself, I am so bored.<\/p>\n

Take it away Iggy, very far away, and chuck it into your endless boring sea:<\/p>\n

I’m Bored<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m bored<\/p>\n

I’m the chairman of the bored,
I’m a lengthy monologue
I’m livin’ like a dog<\/p>\n

I’m bored<\/p>\n

I bore myself to sleep at night
I bore myself in broad daylight coz<\/p>\n

I’m bored
Just another slimey bore<\/p>\n

I’m free to bore my well-bought friends
And spend my cash until the end coz<\/p>\n

I’m bored
I’m bored<\/p>\n

I’m the chairman of the board<\/p>\n

I’m sick
I’m sick of all my kicks
I’m sick of all the stiffs
I’m sick of all the dips<\/p>\n

I’m bored<\/p>\n

I bore myself to sleep at night
I bore myself in broad daylight coz<\/p>\n

I’m bored
I’m bored<\/p>\n

Just another dirty bore<\/p>\n

All right doll-face
Come on and bore me<\/p>\n

I’m sick
I’m sick of all my kicks
I’m sick of all the stiffs
I’m sick of all the dips<\/p>\n

I’m sick<\/p>\n

I’m sick when I go to sleep at night
I’m still sick in the broad daylight coz<\/p>\n

I’m bored
I’m bored<\/p>\n

I’m the chairman of the. . .<\/p>\n

BORED!<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n
