When you say, "I was so bored this weekend," you’re stating that you find the entire universe – in all its mystery, in all its explosive beauty, in all its fractal complexity – that the entire universe bores you. Saying "I’m bored" suggests you’ve in fact seen and thought of every interesting thing in the universe, read every book, been down every street, looked into every window, talked to all 7 billion people and that until some NEW material comes along, frankly, you’re not at fault for mopin’ around the house and draggin’ your knuckles a little bit. "Sorry, but there’s nuthin’ ta DO."
I simply cannot imagine a smart person being bored, ever.
