self entertainment

Its really hard for me to get bored. Its not that I don't get myself into situations that other people would find boring. Its just that I don't find them boring. Take staring at a wall for instance. Most people would find that exquisitely boring and a complete waste of time. I think its hours of great entertainment. And its free. As long as you didn't have to pay for the wall. I mean if its like the wall of your apartment its not exactly free. But some brick wall downtown works just fine. Brick walls are even better than sheet-rock or plaster. Actually plaster walls are really interesting. Sometimes there are really cool patterns just waiting to be found. That happens with anything that is done by hand. There are always these awesome little mistakes that aren't big enough to warrant fixing but are just enough to add some flair. Sometimes I'll even stare at the backs of my eyelids for hours on end. I never get bored, I just live longer. You know how time seems to slow down when things aren't all that interesting. Well if you just embrace that fact and do more boring shit your lifespan will be increased by a huge amount. The real trick to not getting bored is being able to hallucinate on command. It has to be on command though. Hallucinating when you don't want to can be extremely terrifying. On the other hand if you're stuck looking at a blank wall for several hours, a good hallucination can be just the ticket. Or just walking across the living room can go from being a mindless chore to a great adventure in which you must avoid all of the stalactites and stalagmites growing from the floor and ceiling. That happened to me once. I was real careful because the ones on the floor looked really sharp. I think if I had stepped on one it might have pierced my foot. I wasn't wearing any shoes so I didn't have any protection. I did have a hat on so I figured my head was protected from the razor sharp stalactites. In retrospect I doubt that a straw oriental hat really would have protected my head from anything. Luckily it was all in my imagination so I was never in any really danger. Another cool thing to do is seeing black and white movie hallucinations on colored walls. Like a green film noir. Or you can project the movie on a window so you have real picture in picture. Not just up in the corner but all throughout. I think they should make a movie like that. Just overlay two movies and the sound from both and present it as a brand new movie. It would be a great way to save money on production costs. I don't know that it would be received all that well. Well I've forgotten what I was talking about, so I'm going to quit while I'm ahead, or at least not too far behind.
