Everybody has something that they use to pass the time. I'm not an arts and crafts person, or much of a story reader(theology isn't bad, though). Reddit.com has been taking up entirely too much of my time, though. It's a social news site. Basically, people post links and they are voted on whether or not they are good. It's addictive. Seriously. Like, really addictive. It has way too many interesting things on there.
Facebook, too. People need to stop being interesting. In fact, I really don't think they are. I think it's the boredom that makes them interesting. You know that phrase "To the hungry even the bitter tastes sweet"? Yea. That's what Facebook is, at least for me. I'm just bored, so the fact that you just woke up and had a bowl of Lucky Charms is stunning and fascinating. It's like cold fusion just happened right in front of me. Now, if I was on Facebook at Disney World, I doubt it would be that interesting. Actually, that's not a fair comparison. It's Disney World, which is too good to compare. Facebook at Six Flags. Yea. That's good. Being on Facebook at six flags wouldn't be nearly as great as when it's six in the morning and I haven't gone to bed yet.
Human nature desires to be constantly entertained. And most of the time, we are. In fact, I think we are a bit desensitized to entertainment. People in the 1800's were entertained when the milk man came around, but we can shrug off a guy breathing fire. I am the culprit, too. So I'm slowly trying to transition out of being so used to having fun. I need to do a bit of work.
