7 Tips to Fight the Deadly Feeling of Boredom.

This article is tips as the title states. Boredom is not fun, but the website post is supposed to help. The order of the tips are in the order of ideas that should help from most effective to a type of last resort.
A statement made by the creators are, "Even if you can’t escape a situation, by re-framing your emotions about it, you can transform it."  Many things can be found boring, such as waiting in the doctors office, sitting in class, doing grocery shopping, or watching a bad sitcom/commercial. 

One of the seven tips is to put the word 'meditation' after the activity that’s boring you. For example, "doctors office waiting meditation", or " in class sitting meditation". Just saying it should make it you feel  very spiritual and high-minded and wise. And then that should keep you from being so boring.
Second,  “The Chinese have a theory that you pass through boredom into fascination and I think it’s true.” If something is boring to you for two minutes, double that time and continue the activity. And if after that doubling its still boring double it again. Keep doubling the time until the activity or process your engaged in isn't so boring.
 Third is to take the perspective of a journalist or scientist. Study surroundings. Be observant and expressing your "powers" and capability almost anything can become interesting.
Fourth is to find an area of refuge. In your mind plan out an escape plan. Think of something to let your mind float away, find your place/way of release. Look at memory photos, or do something that enjoys you.
Fifth is to look for a way to feel grateful. Look at the situation and think 'what if' you were in a worse scenario, or if there was an outcome and results were not as good. 
Sixth is to consider to 'Are you the boring one?'. " La Rochefoucauld observed, 'We always get bored with those whom we bore.' I remind myself of this when I’m having a boring conversation with someone!"
Seventh is  always bring a book! Honestly a book can be a way to escape from boring events. While reading  a book you can imagine yourself as the character going through all types of adventures. 

This article for me is informative and helpful. I think that anyone that get bored easily as I do will find this extremely helpful and useful in situations they could be placed in. Also anyone in fact could use this site at one point or another for advice or help. I mean everyone get bored at one point or another.

Port St. Lucie father faces child abuse charge

I despise child abuse! It makes me sick to my stomach... But this one is ridiculous... A father of three children and who is married, slapped his 5 month old child, because she wouldn't stop sucking on her thumb. The three children are under the age of five years old. The father of the five month old, told his wife the reason the baby's hand was swollen, was because of a bug bite, because he didn't want his wife to go to the doctor.

"It's especially sad when you have a five-month-old who can't talk, who can't tell you what is wrong ... to endure such an incident like this," said Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Frank Sabol.
 

It truely is sickening to abuse a child that can't defend or talk up for themselves. The father is posting a $5,000 bond and will be released, the children are not in protective custody, but it’s not clear whether they are back home with their mother.

Another Random!

Everyone thinks life is just a given thing. I think of life in more of everyone's view... So this poem below is describing my thoughts of life and its meaning. Many people don’t believe that they have a life, because it may be a family issue or a break-up in a relationship, or a death of a close relative; but as long as you breathe and go on day to day your life will continue and you have a purpose.  People who think that their life doesn’t mean anything, that they are useless, YOUR NOT, you have a purpose or else you wouldn’t have been brought in this world in the first place, your good at something and you do matter, you have a purpose here on Earth so fulfill it. I hope you take this post into deep thought.

Life?

By: Kaitlin Fowler

Life? What does it mean?

Is it a gift or is it a curse?

Can it be taken for granted or can it be forgotten?

Some people live life

Some don't begin it.

Life is filled with surprises, heartache, happiness, and many other emotions.

But what is life?

It’s a mystery. 

It’s a gift.

It’s a journey, 

And torture.

So the question remains.

What is life?

Life... It's up to you.

We read.... 9/11 Special.

9/11 Memorial!

Two massive square voids sited within the footprints of the towers, it digs down — almost as if the collapse of the towers had pounded out a space to deposit feelings about that whole wretched day.

 Over the past ten years there have been any number of disappointing developments at the Trade Center site (more on that later), but the memorial has not turned out to be one of them.

 The organizers of the memorial competition told applicants to respect Libeskind's plan, which would have placed the entire memorial plaza far below street level.

But scale has a power all its own, and by its very size — each of the voids is about an acre in size — the completed memorial still evokes the immensity of 9/11. Its right-angled geometry notwithstanding, it appears before you as a vast abstract of nature, of cliffs, waterfalls and chasms.
 In a stiff wind, when the water whips and lashes the walls, it even has an unruliness of its own, like that restive, riderless horse in the funeral procession for John F. Kennedy.

But all the while that those deep, dark voids express a sense of loss and grief — and reach into your feelings about the grave — the falling water exerts its ancient power to console.

As those descend they combine into a unified sheet of water, a mingling that speaks of the many lives joined by the vast event that was 9/11. 

 At the center of each tank the pooled waters drain into a square opening — like one of Arad's imagined holes in the surface of the Hudson — and out of sight.

In all there are 2,983, including everyone (other than the terrorists) who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa., as well as the six who died in the truck bomb attack on the Twin Towers in 1993.

For so long as the rest of Ground Zero remains a construction site there will only be one entry point to the memorial plaza, and visitors will require advance tickets.
 

You might say that the final architects of the 9/11 memorial will be the people who pass through it every day.

Random #3

For this post I have no idea what to talk about, so I'm taking this post up on it's name and being RANDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just gonna talk about what comes to mind first hand. Well as I speak or type I am thinking about what else to type about. I am also singing and dancing stupidly in my computer chair while trying to check my Facebook periodically, I'm about to call it a night and read over my speech I messed up on today :( . I have done nothing practically all day... It's been a lazy day sorta for me. I really didn't know what to talk about. I'm trying to think about what to talk about for a post tomorrow and what my next topic is gonna be about. To anyone that happens to read this I need new bands to listen to.... If you want to be help comment on this post and name of the band and/or singer and the genre, thank you! I hate doing homework... I despise it so much. I also despise ads ( he he I know random right? Hint hint the title) Advertisement is slightly aggravating and annoying.I think almost everyone is at agreement on that. Another thing that is annoying is someone asks you a question and you explain that answer and the person sitting right beside you asks you the same question and they knowing know that you just answered the same question! I mean REALLY? Another random topic for this is that I'm really really hyper... I was repeated this post to someone I would be speaking 50 mph.... ( No Joke!). Well I'm tired and being hyper at the same time is never good, so I'm going to get off my laptop and try to get some sleep.... I know totally random, well night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's Happening!?!?

I'm just say this... Nothing has been happening everything has been really boring so far. Well to me it is, I don't know about anybody else. Anyways this is going to be about whats happening around the school so far.
Well Mr. Paul the Public Speaking teacher is back from taking care of his wife and his first newborn child. So far I'm loving his class. I'm hoping by the time this semester is over I won't be afraid to speak in public anymore. Moving on.... Today was picture day! Everyone looked awesome for pictures and I bet every ones picture looked fantastic. The week seemed like it flew by in no time and it's hard to believe that its already the weekend. All classes fly by, it feels like your in a class for a few minutes and then your leaving again. In geometry nothing really changed and/or has happened so there is nothing to really write about. and in civics we are already having a project. Everything so far has gone excellent and I'm hoping it stays that way. I really don't know what else is interesting to right about so see y'all until next time!

What I've Read. #2

 This time around I've been reading a book made up of over twenty-five Vampire Romance stories. These stories are full of hot blood, midnight pleasure, and inhuman passions. These stories are amazing, they keep you on your toes waiting to find out what's going to happen next.  If your a person you like thrills and chills  with lots of suspense then this book is probably for you. With these vampires there strange code of conducts, dark rituals, and dating games that they are engaged in. They seduce their prey and mates and locals for fun. These vampires aren't like normal vampires, they don't want to bite humans, because they don't want to curse them with what they have to live with, so they care some.  I enjoy this book quite a bit, its somewhat interesting. To answer some questions that I have been asked, yes my parents know I read books with this content in it.  The only people I wouldn't recommend this book to is to the people under the age of thirteen and for people who don't like descriptive sexual content.  I really don't know what else to write aboutso any questions you may have comment and I'll answer them.
