Better than the old curse of 'may you live in interesting times'. Being bored is something easily fixed. You just have to want to do something different. You decide how far you can push yourself, start with little things.
I hit a rock in the road.. ruined both driver's side tires, so the spare wouldn't really have helped. So just call for a help, right? No, no cell service in that area. Maybe a good Samaritan will give me a ride to help? Well yes, one did, after 8 hours, but he was the second to come along going the direction I wanted (the first was a gringo, they don't help any one, whereas Mexicans , the one that still retain a bit of an accent or speak no English at all are just about guaranteed to give you help.. yes , u=yes, I know, that is stereotyping and perhaps a bit racist (altho' I prefer "culturist" as Mexicans aren't necessarily another race as much as they are another culture). Just so happens my buddies at the gas station had a pair of good tires of the correct size, the mounted them up, but wouldn't charge me until I got back. (left the car on the side of the road, but with all the spare time, not only did I walk back up the road to remove the tire killing rock and it's ilk, but I took off the damaged wheels, so they got a ride back into town with me(some 50 miles away it turned out). Them I contemplated God, the vastness of the Universe (I watched lots of stars as they moved thru the night skies) and prayed to Him, alot, about what had gotten me to where I was, and to give me guidance (and yes, the first bit of guidance was "don't violate the rules... in this particular case "be prepared, tell someone were you are, don't dring evben a little booze if you are in a spot that still requires all of your wits, carry water when in the desert") Grabbed a friend to haul me and the the wheels back to car, drove 5 miles the other direction the one from whence I was coming when I had "the event". so I added "situational awareness " to the list of violated rules,an my friend bought me a very good hamburger at the little market there in the tourist town ( had fully intended to pay his way, but perhaps he figured I needed the break) . Went to divvy up with the bud at the gas station.. he charged me $40 for the mounted and balanced tires.. my burger buying friend exclaimed " I don't know how they make money!" and I think back to the verses which include"if the Lord clothed flowers in the field finer than the robes of Solomon, will he not take care of you?" (yes, that is paraphrased but the meaning is clear) So, for the Lord giving me a little slap and making me take time to reflect it cost me $40 and I got a free hamburger.. the damage to the car could have been so much worse in many ways, it could have damaged the rims, the suspension, knock a hole in the oil pan or the transmission case.. It was rather miraculous that there wasn't extensive damage. so perhaps "existence is satisfactory" but there is some much more outside this existence. Put you life in the hands of the e Lord and experience them.. and if he leaves you in a very hard spot.. ask yourself why and then do what he wants.. He dictated a book, so with a little study you can find what he really wants.
It doesn't need to be a chemical or alcohol. Watch a new TV program, read a book of a different subject, put pineapple on your pizza.
I am Jewish. We view Christians and Muslims who keep the Seven Laws of Noah as righteous. These Laws are part of Christianity and Islam.
I sometimes use a female avatar in online games, but on the rare occassion someone asks my real life gender, I am honest. But in gaming, its generally accepted the avatar gender reflects nothing. Many male gamers simply would rather watch a shapely woman figure running around killing things than a burly man.
I have never pretended to be another gender, but I let certain people think I was a different gender. They just assumed it and I did not correct them. I never intentionally did anything to make others think I was a gender that I am not.
