my quality of life is down. i mean, i'm perfectly happy (more or less), and i'm not sick or poor or homeless or anything, but still...

life is kind of monotonous. i just sort of go to school and come home and do stuff. i have few hobbies. right now i just sort of mosey around doing stuff with astrojax (astrojax.com , it's sort of a toy that's similar to juggling).  

any suggestions, comments, or ideas? i don't really know what my problem is (if i have one at all), or what's wrong. maybe i'm just a stupid middleclass suburban white boy who's dissillusioned with the world..

well if you want to make chainmaille, it helped me overcome severe depression.  i know that's not your issue, but hey a hobby is a hobby.

another option might be to -become- homeless.  this takes the boredom off of any day.

or maybe just intentionally mix up your routine..  walk a new route, do things different than normal, and make it a point to pay attention to them.

You need to reprismatise.

I find that putting a shitload of effort in to something satisfying but ultimately insignicant can often do it for me. Last time, I decided to cook and insanely complex meal and spent tha day running around buying only the freshest and best ingredients and then cooked with a couple of friends and too many bottles of wine. I was exhausted but much happier by the end ot if all. Your milage may vary.

I went out and fell in love, Of course, she broke my heart. But that's another strory entirely, and I've moved on since then anyway.
A creative pursuit is always good for the soul, it can even be something as simple as mowing the lawns, but you've got to find fulfilment in it. It doesn't mean shit what other people think of your efforts, if it lifts you up to paint like a 6 year old then do it. I tried volunteer work for 3 years, but after the laziness of others and bitchiness towards me I gave it up. That's another thing, what fills us up can change over time.
I love to perform, but it doesn't bother me if I never become famous for it. Everyone's going to the Idol auditions, and nobody understands why I don't care to go. Have you ever been content to sit Nate? That's when I feel my most content. When I know I can compare to the bigshots, and I don't have to. Just go out and find something that makes you happy, but be selfish about it. Do it for yourself, not for acclaim or accomplishment, just do it because you want to.
