Boredom is something we can't escape. This is exactly how I feel right now as I write this story......

zzzzzz.....Oh sorry! Where was I?

Yes! Boredom! So apparently boredom is similar to getting drunk, it hits you in stages. The sudden realisation that you have nothing to do and the next thing you know, you're ripping your hair off your head.

1. Denial

It's a beautiful day outside and you're stuck at home or in your workplace (who thought that would happen?). You want to do something, but you can't make up your mind. You want to go out in order to further deny the fact that you are bored. In the process, you call up friends to make plans, but unfortunately for you, they are busy. No one goes out alone because everyone will think you are a creepy loner, so you decide to stay home instead.

2. Indifference

Okay, you're kind of bored now. As you dream into space while staring out of the window, an unconscious sense of relaxation takes over your mind. Sadly this stage has a limit and it's not very long until you have the urge to do some kind of time pass. This is because your mind is at a stage between declaring complete boredom and opening up to possibilities of doing something. You aren't actually achieving anything, so there you are daydreaming, or like me, lying upside down from the bed.

3. Calibrating boredom

You need something to do, something to distract you off your present state of mind. Wandering thoughts and a stagnant brain lead you to the television or the internet where you flip and surf to find something that entertains and caters to your interests. TV and the internet are wonderful distractions as their very existence is based on the fact that once in a while, people need to pass time in comfort. Once again, this is short-lived and if there isn't anything on air or online, a screen runs the risk of being smashed or slammed.

4. Angry boredom

Right now, you just want to escape, but you don't know how. This is essentially the chemical formula to frustration. Yup, you're pissed, and if you had your way, you would smash your mother's vase right there, right now. Like Will.i.am and Britney Spears, you want to scream and shout and let it all out, but depending on your personality, you find different ways to express your anger. You hold your breath if you are a passive soul, or are simply a cranky cow if you're more of the aggressive type. Unless you are like Amrish Puri, below, where you give terrifying looks at anything that crosses your path.

I once threw my iPod at the other end of the room, not a good idea. Really not a good idea.

5. Hungry boredom

The restlessness finally channels its way towards the kitchen shelves and fridge, where chewing can give your brain some sort of exercise and jerking to be entertained. Ice cream, fries, fatty stuff, MSG loaded crap, you name it! All your comfort foods are at the forefront to help you feel better. It actually feels good to drown your inactivity in treats that you would normally not gorge on. Sweet and deep fried foods are good at releasing hormones that calm the mind, too bad you didn't know it works like a drug.

6. And then you eat some more...

Om nom nom, you just can't get yourself to stop. Who needs sexual or spiritual healing? This is the seventh heaven! At least until you run out of foods that are edible....Back to square one. Damn!

7. Apathetic boredom

You suddenly feel guilty about eating all that food. Thoughts of being fat and unhealthy fill your mind and you want to do some thing to burn off all those calories. But you just ate.. All you can do right now is lie on your belly and feel miserable or pace up and down your room feeling worthless, depressed and unproductive. You have given up on finding alternate ways to distract yourself and end up jumping through the various stages mentioned above. Good luck.
