On the other hand, if you don't rein yourself in you are subject to all
kinds of vicissitudes, even death itself. All of my life I have been
reading
books about fools who took risks for the sake of adventure and end up as
dead as mackerels.
And what is wrong with a little boredom in life anyway? I say give me
boredom any old day to an early death. Only fools want to burn the candle
at
both ends. Nay, I like to settle down to a good night's viewing of
whatever
is on TV. This guarantees lots of good old fashion boredom.
When I really like to be bored out of my skull I tune into MSNBC or CNN
and
follow all the liberal commentators. Chris Matthews of MSNBC is without a
doubt the biggest jackass and all around asshole in the entire universe.
My
God, this fool has even turned on Hillary and has fallen in love with
Barack
Hussein Obama! Folks, it doesn't get any better than this!
