So I was thinking that my new theory is that “life is boring”, and that it should be.

It goes along with the “fear of the world” theory, because both are driven externally; and primarily by unrealistic media/popular culture.

Desire for drama, intrigue, action, etc. is unnatural.

 

Well, anyway.  That’s my new theory.

 

I found this list on line on how to avoid a “boring life”, and thought I’d share (though I now hold that these pursuits are fucking stupid):

Here are “50 Ways to Outrun a Boring Life…”

3. Go for a 3 mile run.
4. Take a chance.
