I Eat Babies' Journal

Bored, oh so Bored...
I have always wondered why there are so many people today who are chronically bored. The fact that there is even a condition (treatable, apparently) called "Chronic Boredom" makes me wonder what the hell is the point. It can't be healthy to have so many people with so little to do.

Maybe it's because we have all these nice shiny machines to do everything for us? Instead of having to walk 5k to the nearest well to get water and dragging mammoths home for dinner, we have water pumped and grocery stores stocked with imported goodies. Not that I'd like to be hiking for water and spearing mammoths, but I don't know how comfortable I am with the concept of skipping so far ahead in evolution by creating machines.

Well maybe we'll all blow up soon anyway, so it won't matter. *Thinks happy thoughts*

Julie and I stayed up veeery late the other night talking about...various things (we made an "awesome person" list. Great times), but we somehow got on the topic of Jehova's Witnesses/other evangelical fucks, and she came up with a good question: if they're being evangelical is result of competition to get into heaven, why are they trying to create more Jehova's Witnesses, thereby creating more competition? Yah we were tired. I think we had had a few too many Tom-hugs or something.

Anyway, I will stop thinking now, because my itty bitty bwain wiw expwoooooooode!! My feet hurt.
