I get bored fast, very fast. I need constant stimulation; things that move fast, change form, and entertain keep me busy, except movies. I get bored when I watch movies, I think it’s because most movies insult the viewers intelligent, hence the pathetically short list of movies I have watched. I also get bored of ideas fast; I like routine for a while but get bored with it sooner or later, that’s one reason why I have such trouble updating my blog. WordPress is fun, but I need something more now. Terrible burden to carry this inability to maintain anything constructive for longer than a few months, if even. I’ve heard on more than one occasion that my mind works like I’m constantly high, thoughts leading from one thing to another, scenarios playing in my head incessantly, sometimes I lose track of what actually happened.

So I have discovered a new obsession (which is also another characteristic of mine, obsessive) which feeds my need for fast pace entertainment which is at the same time informative.

StumbleUpon

It’s like being on speed.

With the click of a button you’re constantly entertained with information without getting bored,

Some weeks ago I had to wake up at 6am for an exam. I couldn’t sleep that night though, why? I had been Stumbling (or StumbleUponing? what’s the correct verb here? You know, like Googling, or Facebooking) and as a result after I closed my eyes my mind began stumbling on its own. It created crazy websites and images for me to rush through, I remember distinctively a page written by a Slavic woman, and this was all a result of my own mind. I kept clicking away and seeing new pages and images, this went on until 1am, when I decided I need to calm my mind somehow, so I pulled out my book and read it until 2am, after which I was calm enough to actually fall asleep.
