Boredom-the reason we use?

[kyuss]

I'm sitting here
trying to work on a paper
for a college course.
Yet, I keep coming back on here
and I'm thinking of watching
City Confidential on A&E at 9.
Why? Cos I'm bored.
I stay bored.
And when I think of getting clean
so I can jump back in a semi
I also think how it will be.
Boring.
Imagine driving 500-600 miles a day.
It's not like in the movies.
Most roads look the same.
Billboards and Boredom.
I did a bag when I got up.
Was hoping that would be enough.
Guess what? It's not.
Wanna know why?
yep,cause I'm bored.
I guess I'll always be
Chairman of the Bored.

There's NEVER enough bro and boredom does play apart-especially after you've got high.

Oh,I'm listening to the Who live in Leeds-a fine sound.

Brother, you nailed it right there. I find myself in a similar situation all the fucking time. Hmm, what should I do right now? Hey, self, I got a great fucking idea, lets eat a handfull of pills and shove some morphine up our ass.

I knew
you guys
would understand.
I've got 2 bags left.
Maybe just one more
baby bump from bag #2? :D

Jesus, I wish
I was born rich.
And entertainment
and drugs was always
a quick phone call away.

I've been fantasizing
about living the high life
a lot lately.Fuck reality.
Let's go buy a $1000
worth of H and oxy
order a pizza and mt dew
and drive down to the seashore
to watch the waves roll in.

I definitely have a much easier time committing myself to boring shit when I am high. You know, housework, work, school, yard work, etc etc. I have a pretty good time with all of that stuff when I am high, or even just have a nice little functional buzz going. Sober, though, it seems like punishment almost to do that shit. My motivation is just not there.
I always try to plan my cleaning around my buzz schedule. Or if I come into some unexpected goods, I will make sure that I do some cleaning and whatnot while I am happy. Only works that way with downers like opies, weed, and booze though (alas, I no longer partake in the wonderful world of weed or booze:(). Stimulants make me lazy as hell and withdrawn from regular activities in life. That's one reason that I have begun to hate them so (If you can still apply the term "begun" to something that has been going on for the better part of ten years).

I think boredom has something to do with it, but the honest truth is that I just like the way it makes me feel. I never really understood the whole concept of using because you wanted to escape from your problems. I always thought that was a cheap reasoning that was come up with by the "norms" to explain our deviant, addictive behavior in a way that they could understand. Fuck, I always found that my problems were just as bad or even worse if I used as a way of dealing with them. I just like how I feel. And maybe the boredom thing could equate to an escape from reality- reality for the most part is boring. I have always been somewhat obsessive about anything that escapes you from day to day life- reading, hiking, camping, a good video game (on rare occasions), D&D (yeah, go ahead an' say it. . .). But I never used it to escape from my problems.

Maybe for people who can't function on a day to day basis loaded, it would keep them from their problems for a little while, but for people like us, being loaded is just a different kind of normal. And if you are normal it is still possible to deal with day to day life.

Ramble ramble ramble. I'll stop now.

i did that a couple of months ago before it got cold up here. went out to the ocean, got super high and smoked cigars zoning out watching the waves.

afterwards i bought a sandwich from the convenience store next to the beach and fell asleep in my car for about an hour.

and this is a good memory for me. hah the absurd life of an opiophile eh?

Doesn't seem absurd at all-it sounds cool bro.

I'm glad you said this. I'm agree. I'm not exactly sure how using opiates makes you escape reality. I guess if your nodding/sleeping all day thats one thing, but in a functional capacity I don't think its escapism. I like the body high and the euphoria. It may help me relax, but it doesnt make me forget my problems! If anything, I would think alcohol would be the escapist drug of choice.


As to the original topic, I think opiates do kill boredom, but so does almost any drug, weed included. I remember when I stopped smoking every day, the only weed "withdrawl" I felt was excessive boredom! Opiates do have the unique ability to make me really patient, especially for tasks that I don't particularly enjoy.
