I'm running out of ideas!

Not for this blog, no way. I didn't have any ideas when i started out, so no problem running out of them anyway..:P

Its actually with my holidays.. You see, i'm supposed to join my job in early October, and finished college with the knowledge that i had 5 months to waste away. Going to an intermediate job, was quite possibly the worst way to spend my time, i decided. Hence, doing nothing was the only way to go. Big deal.. Of course, 4-month holidays were shooed away many times in the past, so it would just be a matter of time (literally) before i saw them off.

Not this spell, though..

It was funny when i heard it first, but now the full impact of the statement has hit me..:P Somehow, i've passed these 3 1/2 months by doing a variety of things, like:

Playing a million games:

I can probably give Gamespot and IGN a complex, considering the sheer number of games i've played these days. Racing, Shooters, Strategy, Puzzles, Action, RPG, there is not a single genre i've left.. And that includes our all-time online favourite, Counter Strike. Oh yeah, that is the perfect time-killer, as long as you don't get consistently nerfed by the 'mega-pro' gamers out there. Well, that's precisely what happened and i'm losing interest in it gradually. The occasional games don't hurt, but then, that defeats the whole purpose of it. That puts videogames out of the reckoning

Reading a dozen books and a few hundred ebooks:

Another generic hobby. During the early months, i bought myself a shelf full of books (Gan knows how big), subscribed to a couple of car mags and emptied my tiny bank balance in the process. The online duniya, on the other hand, found me a few hundred good picks from the e-species. Sure enough, they held me in good stead for a couple of months. Pushed my eye sockets a few millimetres back in the bargain.

Facebook and other online time-wasters:

If it had not been for the net, i'd have been paranoid by the first 2 months. Thankfully, i 'discovered' Facebook. Knowing how to click a mouse button has surely unlocked many secrets i never knew. For instance, i nowknow that i'd have been a 'Shaolin Monk' if i developed myself into a legendary warrior, and that if i wasn't me, i'd be 'John Lennon'. Terribly useful, these quizzes.. Tells you how many people are actually making a useless git of themselves and still have the guts to brag about it. I reckon i could create an entire blog about goofy quizzes in Facebook!

Wolfram Alpha, Mashable, Google Trends, Twitter all gave their 5 minutes of useless benefits too, though none good enough to completely fill my digital void..

Fighting for my provisional certificate:

This is one interesting aspect of govt colleges. Before you can get your provisional certi, you're supposed to get two 'no-dues' slips filled up. Boy, was that a treasure hunt! Approximately 9 people have to sign in 12 places, and to get those some of those signs, you have to finish a small set of objectives.. Its a lot easier if you get these done with your friends, but you're out of luck when alone. In spite of the early start, i got lazy and didn't want to get my certi any soon. And boy oh boy, did i pay for it. When i returned to coll, the next year had started and people were too busy to respond. The worst part was when i had to wait alone in the library for 4 hours to get 1 friggin signature! This whole thing took so much of my time that i could officially count it as a pastime..:D

There were a number of minor time-killers too, like sleeping extra 3 hours every day, trying to memorise the newspaper, kalaachufying friends, jabber jabber.. None of them could prepare for the 'shock' moment though..

Reality finally got the better of me, and i now have nothing else to do.. All the past-times which used to my hog my time are just staring at me blank as hogs. Not even thinking of what i can do helps me do something. For the first time in world history, i'm officially, completely bored! The end (of free time) is near, but i don't know if i can keep my brain-cogs running till then.

And this is where i need your help. Tell me something i can do to kill the remaining time. Stand upside down on my fingers; get chased by a mad dog; try to take on Osama, anything.. Any idea would be welcome, as long as it doesn't serve any purpose, and takes up a good chunk of my time..:P

Thanks in advance!

(Yet another)PS: I'll probably think of this sometime in the future and tell myself, "You could have done something more useful then". Heck, i made my choice between doing what is right and what is easy.. Doing Nothing! And i stuck to it.. Ever heard of integrity?
