Boredom for Dummies Sunday, 04 December 2005 While talking to a friend of mine a couple days ago he asked the customary question of "How are things going." Aww, how nice. So I told him, and my response surprised me a bit. I said "Overall, things are good, but I'm a little bored with my life." My friend's response was particularly poignant, and completely on point.
