Boring Boring Boring!!

Got back relatively early from work today , and have no clue about what to do. Ironic, isn't it, you think about getting back home early everyday and the day you do get back early, you have absolutely nothing to do! My luck ran out even with baseball games, was hoping I could watch atleast one whole game, but the White Sox won the championship yesterday... not that I'm unhappy about that, but they could have atleast had a game today. Come to think about it, the White Sox is probably the only team that I've supported that has gone on to win the national championship.

As long as I followed cricket, India never won a world cup. I use the past tense because the only thing I follow in cricket nowadays is the Ganguly - Chapelle love affair. Guess a couple of new things have been introduced into the game recently, power play and super sub..both of which I don't know much about..super sub sounds a lot like the designated hitter in baseball, might as well start playing baseball if we keep getting stuff from them.

Actually every team I follow seems to be jinxed..Formula one - I can't stand schumacher and for the past couple of years , my only interest in F1 was to see if he would crash, atleast that way mclaren to get a podium position. Well, they did change the rules, and I think .Ok..Fine..mclaren have a good car, good driver and this year is the championship year...well guess what, the renault was better.

College Football- Passionately follow the Florida Gators-- last year was miserable, we get a new coach, this guy has been the BEST coach in the country for the past 2 years, Has lost a measly 4 games in as many years and his team went unbeaten last year. So you think if you can get a coach with a record like that , the team is going to have a wonderful year. Well, it turns out the coach ends up with a losing record....


and so it goes on...the list goes on..but I'm going to stop ranting and start doing nothing. Amazingly, some body has been jobless enough to write this down...

Plan ahead. Whether it's an hour, a day, or a week of doing nothing, cancel all of your appointments for that block of time.

Let people know that you'll be unavailable. Whether you choose to tell them that you're actually setting aside some time to do nothing, or you just give them the vague explanation "I'm going to be busy" (busy doing nothing!), tell them not to call, visit, or interrupt.

Find a quiet, private place where you feel unpressured to do anything. This might be your bedroom, the garage, the car, or a local park. Find that place and go there.
Set your watch or an alarm to go off when your "nothing" time is over, so that you don't have to constantly look at the clock and count the minutes. Turn off your cell phone, and maybe even all other phones within your reach.

Sit quietly by yourself. Feel the breeze, the sun shine, and the chair touching your skin. Listen to the rustle of the trees and birds singing, and water flowing. Do not think about the past or future. Avoid the temptation to turn on the TV, listen to music, write a note to yourself, get a bite to eat, or whatever. The only thing you should do is go to the bathroom if needed.

Learn how to meditate and clear your mind. That way, not only will your body be doing nothing, but so will your mind. Since your brain is constantly working, learning how to give it a break can provide a major sense of peace and regeneration.
