    I think depression is more like exhaustion than boredom. Often depression equates with not wanting / being able to deal with the circumstances of one's life (a serotonergic reaction), whereas boredom is more like wanting to deal with circumstances that aren't there (a dopaminergic reaction). I could write a 40 page essay on the distinction here. I'm sure I could make it topical...

    I just wish they had more Curling on TV. There is nothing as exciting as seing them sweep the ice. Too bad they don't use brooms anymore.

    Now on ESPN: X-treme poker!

    Watch as your favorite mob stars go at it. When lenny drops down a full house, will Merriam get suspicious? Which holster will he pull his pistol from? How many back-up men does he have? Will Lenny discover Merriam was cheating anyway? All these questions and more will be answered tonight at 8pm - prime time!

    Poker on ESPN can't hold a candle to the US Full-Contact Scrabble championships. And why doesn't pumpkin chunking get as much news coverage as the NCAA basketball tournament? Coincidence? I don't think so.

    Yesterday, the chipmunks had stripped all the kernels off of the ear of field corn I gave them. So you know what I did??
    I gave them another ear of corn!

    Oh... ummm... how embarassing. Okay, please reinterpret my previous post to be even more outlandish.

    It's raining this morning.
    There was a queue of drenched wet squirrels waiting to eat hazelnuts on my balcony.

    "Waiter! The service here is terrible."

    I just have deer grazing in the yard every morning, not on the balcony though, that would be entertaining. They are boring to watch, sometimes I open the door just to watch them run, now that's fun.

    Doesn't sound boring to me. I'm sure it is more interesting than the War Developments, Paranoid Drivel and Unsubstantiated Garbage thread.

    Yes yes, they have a couple sanctuaries to run to, where the bad bad man can't shoot shoot shoot them. The current crop is hmm 9, 3 does and 6 little squirts...I think the dominat buck is in heaven right now. Though sometimes, driving home and seeing bambi as roadkill, makes me think to myself, well at least it wasn't thumper...

    With every post it becomes more and more clear that you are indeed a bleeding heart....
