My rant against a humdrum life.

I'm tired of all this non-life. I go to uni, but see nobody of interest. I come home, sleep, and go to uni again.

I do the odd thing which can be considered fun (seeing a friend, watching TV). But how fun is this, when it just gets repetitive?

I've just been sat in my room thinking/talking to myself, about life, about the journey. What is it all about? What is it all for?

Somebody said to me, that they rather look at the journey that is life than the destination. That's supposed to clear things up? Make things better? If you ask me, the journey is work, and the destination is eventual death.

Sure, we like to think that we live good lives. We have a week or two a year to go on holiday somewhere. We have a few "free" days a week, called the weekend. Though, that's not much time at all, and it's hard to find anyone that wants to really live it with you. They are more interested in mundane repetitive things, some of which can be fun, but regardless, they are so repetitive.

I can't be expected to accept going for a few drinks with a friend once a week to be the culmination of my waiting and work. I'm only 20, and surely it gets worse as I get older? That seems to be the current trend.

I want to live life. I don't expect to ever truly do that, to ever truly be free from the constraints of taxes, money, society, national borders, etc. But, I want to do the best I can, because I want to live a different journey than many seem to so easilly accept.

So, with all that thinking/talking to myself like a crazy person in my room done, I thought, what next? Which of my friends will want to do something new/different/fun? I realised the ones that might want to, are logistically unable to.

So I immediately thought of George's forum. Just the other day he mentioned that a few people from there had quite liked me, and I thought hey, new people, that sounds good.

I don't expect anyone here who doesn't know me/knows me from meeting me like once, to want to rush off and have an adventure somewhere exciting with me.

But is there anybody here who dreams? Looks past the "joys" of smalltalk and watching the match? Heck, is there anyone who wants a new friend?

Thus ends my rant against the humdrum life many of us lead unwillingly.

Oh and please, don't make fun of me. Last time I came here and tried to have a conversation, I didn't get much in the way of a positive result. If you don't want me around just say so, don't just take shots at my way of thinking, likes, dislikes, or opinions.

Now that I think about it, not really. I like computers, but there's not much fun one can have with computers, especially not with other people. I find that I can't enjoy much on my own, I like to experience life with people, rather than alone.

For example, I'm not the sort to go on holiday on my own. It just wouldn't be fun at all. But anyway, that's a bit off the topic of your question.

No, I don't have hobbies. Nothing I've tried has ever really appealed to me (sports, etc).

Word. If you're at college/uni just join any society that you're even remotely interested in and most likely you'll enjoy at least one of them. The people involved tend to be passionate about whay they're doing and open to talking to new folk and getting them interested too.

Travel as well. It doens't matter if you do it on your own. When you're out of your comfort zone you're far more likely to get to know new people and go off and explore the place with them.

Try being more independent.

If you need other people to enjoy activities, you're going to get frustrated, especially if you're getting bored with what others generally do for fun.

I don't have anything in common with the majority of people I meet.
If I hadn't learnt to break away from the pack, so to speak, I would be pretty damn miserable. It'd be great to have people I shared interests with, and I never stop looking, but til that happens, I'm content to go about things alone.
