A day in the life of a bore!!

Although the time is ripe to write a budget review but I wont do so bcoz who the heck cares to read it anyway ( although i do :). To make matters worse all the dailies,mags n TV channels r puking out overwhelming doses of budgetary crap.Between all this chaos and hoopla surrounding the budget,I set out to tweak and tune my blog yesterday night (you might ask what in hell inspired me to do so?).Simple. I had already exhausted all tried and tested methods of timepass.

For the uninitiated,some of these are :

1.Watching repeats of Tom n Jerry/Friends/House Full on TV and sometimes saas-bahu soaps too on Ma's insistence.
2.Switching TV channels furiously over and over displaying your button pressing prowess.
3.Looking out of the window waiting for the rain gods to appear and cussing the Met. dept.
4.Jogging at 7 in the evening and grinning/winking at each passerby.
5.Burning Cds of your Mp3 collection based on Artists and Genres.
6.Watching the latest flicks first day first show and after the show feel like you have been looted in broad daylight.
7.Chatting with friends on Y! and MSN where everybody pretends to be busy like hell or is boasting of his 'I'm on SMS' status.
8.Leaving offline messages for those who are not online at the moment warning them of dire consequences in case they dont reply.
9.Visiting relatives who have their own life too other than entertaining a nut like you.
10.Making STD calls to friends and realise that your bill has already cross the 'Line of Control'.
11.Crawling into each n every store in the shopping malls when you have already shopped so much thats gonna be enough for next 2 years.
12.Advising people who seem not at all interested in your wisdom and feel great and accomplished.
13.Watching live cricket and soccer and then eagerly wait for the highlights and analysis.
14.Reading two novels simultaneously and worry 'what would I do after I am finished with these?'.
15.Watching Discovery to understand how lions mate or why do ducks quack or why do tachyons behave the way they do.
16.Looking for '101 ways to kill your time' kinda book on the bookstalls.
17.Going on a long drive on a cool breezy evening only to be disturbed in your dreams by mindless drivers honking their horny horns.
18.Tinkering with your mobile and trying to discover every hidden feature.
19.Playing Cricket and badminton with your cousins who are less than half your age.
20.Showing unnecessary enthusiasm to show your culinary skills to mom and dad and end up looking like a stupid.
21.Watching 'Ripley's Believe it or not' and 'Who Dares Wins' on AXN and fantasise about performing better feats than the people on air.
22.Taking hour long baths twice daily,most of the time trying to see which shampoo suits your hair and which soap would be gentle on your skin.
23.Joining a Gym only to realise that you are the leanest and meanest guy around among the bunch of hunks and babes and leave before you become their eyesore.

People who are still not bored to death bcoz of all this gibberish above are truly fantastic people who uphold my faith in 'The Bored Community'.Mail me your idea of boredom and you stand to win a chance to fly to Timbaktoo islands for 7 days and 7 nights all alone.You can also participate in 'Who bores Wins' contest and win exquisite T-shirts and caps with 'I am a BIG Bore' slogan .And yes,do subscribe for the 'The Bored Community' daily newsletter for a peek-a-boo into the lives of thousands of others like you.
