The Dangers of Boredom...

Okay, today I found out that I am left brained, I have a pink heart, I am most like the French philosopher Descartes, if I were a Bible character, I would be Paul, my "actual age" is 26, I have a Northern American accent encompassing New York State/Great Lakes area/Western New England, if I were a disaster, I would be a flood, my life is best characterized by the '80's movie, "The Princess Bride", and I was Ghandi in my previous life...... Who knew? All of this brought on by the fact that I am elevating my foot, home alone, hungry and, drum roll please.........BORED! Somehow, I thought that I would enjoy passing the time by taking as many interesting online quizzes as possible. Were I to choose the outcome of these quizzes, I would have a red heart, be an American philosopher, be most like the Bible character, Ruth, my "actual age" would be my actual age, I would have an elegant, Southern accent, probably still be a flood, prefer to be characterized by "Back to the Future", and would most certainly NOT have been Ghandi in my previous life.....I would've been Reagan, LOL! :-)

There's nothing wrong with boredom, although there IS something wrong in wasting time on sheer nonsense! Oh, to be a productive individual positively contributing to society once again! I have been thinking about the verse in the Bible that says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might!" Ecclesiastes 9:10. I wonder if that applies to cyber quizzes....?

Most of my days have been filled with baseball games, physical therapy, pizza (that is getting old REAL fast) and re-runs of "Different Strokes"! I LOVE that show! Arnold used to be my hero (and probably still is). That quick witted shrimp provided hope for the vertically challenged; that even though we were small in stature, we would be respected for our signature comebacks, fearless tongue and the sharp mind from whence it all came! :-) God bless Gary Coleman.

I would like to go see "The Bucket List" this evening. Wednesday evenings are "Girls' Night" as the guys are much more spiritual than we are. They go to church. We heathens usually go out to dinner and/or a movie. It serves as a much needed break from Mom's busy work week and a chance for me to get out of the house. We'll see if my plan comes together!

I enjoyed watching "We Are Marshall" yesterday. If you've not seen it, I can recommend it. I love the fact that it is based on a true story and the movie is squeaky clean. Matthew McConaghey does a good job in this film. WARNING: if you are a female, you will cry. It is inevitable, so you might as well embrace your fate right off the bat with a disclaimer to your husband.

Well, I think I just saw Whoopie Goldberg...time to change the channel! And, remember: "The world don't move to the beat of just one drum. It takes different strokes to move the world!"

Go ahead and click the "Play" button....you know you want to.
