As stupid as this sounds, I start to mess with one of 4 desktop AMD machines I"ve got here, 3 of which are play machines that I do stuff to blow up Windows on a regular basis.....saves the headaches for when some software hits the main Windows Machine......and try as I might, I haven't ben able to blow up my OS X install on the iMac........hrm

I read... a lot. Put on some music and read. Right now I am reading "Brave New World" and "Brave New World Revisited".

I don't really get bored. I always have something to do, whether it's browsing the Net, doing some work for another site, reading for pleasure/work. Never a dull moment here in Kashville

I either rub one out and go to sleep or sleep. I'm never that bored that I can't think of something, usually if I'm "bored" I'm procrastinating.

Nothing. That's why I'm bored though cause I can't think of what to do. Well to beat boredom I usually either :
write some lyrics or music
look up a few recipes (I am a chef)
keep myself up to date with the mac world through magazines or here usually
or lastly sometimes I'll play a video/computer game.

I wish I had time to be bored! If I'm not working 28 hour days, the Mrs soon finds me something to do around the house, and with a baby on the way, my friends assure me that it is only going to get worse!
When I can I go clay shooting quite a bit but seem to find the time for that less and less these days.

I either watch TV, call up a friend, play video games, run around outside, pet my cats, eat, watch a movie, listen to music, surf the net, watch videos, worship my Mac, organize my stuff, work on school stuff, play around with my video camera, put stuff on YouTube, read a magazine, read a book occasionally, walk, run, sleep, lay down, count my money, work, practice typing, back up my computer, sync my iPhone with my computer, and thats about it.

I usually find myself reinstalling an operating system on some computer when I'm bored.
Yesterday, I actually tracked down a copy of the Windows 95 "Chicago" beta and installed that on a virtual machine.
I tell ya what, as much as I dislike M$, they sure did come a long way.
Well, only to take a step backwards with Vista.

Usually...I am at work...but on my days off I go home and visit my friends and family...and/or I workout and run and play a little basketball and sometimes paintball but my team is in Iraq or Afghan so it makes it hard to play without my team.
