Born bored. But easily entertained.
When bored, cry or nap. Try crying first.
Entertainment will usually come to the rescue.
Growing older, less easily entertained.
Need games, shows, friends, television.
Want something to do every second.
Sit through a lecture? Practice with drills? No way!
Learn through video games. Entertain during class.
Kiss good old-fashioned learning goodbye.
Teach students to rely on constant entertainment,
Not to learn how to cope without it.
Make entertainment the norm, not the treat.
In the waiting room at the doctor’s office
What do we do? Get out the cell phone.
Text, call, email, games, internet, apps.
The television is the centerpiece of the living room.
This potato needs some entertainment, please.
More t.v.’s in the bedroom, kitchen, and garage.
Not being entertained at the moment.
Cell phone battery died. No magazines.
So bored. So unhappy. Nothing to do.
Being entertained right now, but still unhappy.
So used to this entertainment. Need something more.
Will it ever be enough? Will always crave more.

Yeah, the older I get, the less I give a fiddler’s fart myself. I’m bored all but when I’m creating something, honestly. I see it’s really the same for you, as you’ve sawed out this nice little diddy for us. Thanks! Enjoyed as I do your site.
Feeling creative… yes, I really enjoy that feeling. 🙂
Your posts are always an entertainment.
I’m glad you think so. 🙂
Last night I was at an amazing lecture. Lasted two hours and I was taking notes like crazy the whole time. The woman next to me, who was roughly my same age, was texting with friends the whole time. Why even bother going? Brains don’t multitask.
I like the economics professor in the movie, Larry Crowne. If a student used a cell phone during class, he collected it at the front desk. 🙂
