A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

piercing
he asked to see my piercing
i slowly unbuttoned my lacy blouse
exposing my chest
and showed him the hole he left in my heart.

It’s official: I’M BORED. Yep. B-O-R-E-D!! *Sigh* Can I tell you that I don’t remember the last time that happened to me? For real. Now don’t get it twisted - I have plenty that I need to do, should do, yada yada yada but the fact remains, I’m bored. That boredom rode with me up I-95 as I drove to my brother’s house this past Saturday. It chilled in the cut while I hung out with my family over the weekend and then climbed its slimy butt in the passenger seat on the ride back to Richmond. Now it’s sitting on the love seat like a lump (um, or is that MY reflection?) looking at me like, “What we gon’ do now? Huh? Huh? What we gon’ do?”
And I find myself looking back at it saying, “I’on know. Shoot, for all these years, I kept us entertained, found things to do, places to go. Darnit, it’s somebody else’s turn!”
*Sigh* What AM I gonna do? Short of blowing my limited funds on a shopping spree or road trip…? Oh, and short of getting a ‘job’. *Gasp!*
How do you combat boredom?

Word J! That photo is on point with that poem! Very nice! Well, as far as the boredom, I doubt I can add any solutions considering I’m living in Lazytown. Maybe (more) spring cleaning round the house?

Thanks Sis. Yeah, I thought that pic was the right backdrop. LOL More spring cleaning huh? Well, it’s not like there’s not much to do in that vein. *sigh*

Thanks L’il Sis. Girl, you can give up on your superstar dreams if you want to - I’m holding on to mine…even if I’m only a superstar in the eyes of Princess So Fabulous. LOL And I think I found a project that will ease my boredom. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Jackie, tight piece. Sweetly powerful.
Boredom, just a reminder to appreciate the fun times. LOL. I rarely get bored. I can say if I am not stimulated right, I get irritable but rarely bored.
The quote about boredom sitting next to you and you entertaining for so long is a nice start for a tight azz poem.
Take care.

Thanks Shai. I think everybody gets bored from time to time whether they realize it or not but so many of us fill our days with ‘busy-ness’ so we don’t realize that whatever we’re doing isn’t reaching deep enough within us. Yeah, I gets a bit philosophical when I’m bored. LOL MY friend N called & said I wasn’t ‘bored’ but rather that I was procrastinating. Um, ain’t nobody ask him no way. LOL And I’m way ahead of you re: poem about boredom…I’m on poem #2 in the vein. LOL

When I’m bored, I read blogs
Then I figure out ways that I can possibly take over the world.
Hey, you asked!!!!
I won’t give my interpretation on this one b/c it’s related to the other two.

I generally blog-hop too but it’s not working this time. Take over the world huh? Can’t be any more scary that Bush being president. OK, I see my next few pieces will need a different theme/mood. I think I can do that.

My “boredom” was actually laziness & procrastination. Sleeping huh? I used to do that but it’s much too unproductive for me - I like to procrastinate in a more productive manner. LOL
