did i just have my first grown up moment?

i'm bored. really bored. and i don't mean right now. i mean in general, i am bored. it snowed about 4 inches and it was the least exciting snow storm ever. it didn't stick until late at night and it wasn't snowing when i woke up. every place that got snow apparently got leveled except for where i was. tv coverage of places in DC made it look like there were blizzard conditions all around but when i looked out the window, i saw concrete. in NYC there was 26 inches of snow...how boring is it down here that we can't even get half of that? if we got half of that, it would have been awesome. considering most schools in the area are closed today based on the nothing that is on the ground, imagine what would had happened with over a foot of snow? it would be pure lockdown mode in the city. but then again, if the federal government were to close, then it would be possible that i would not have to come into work....and then, i would be bored. why? because i was so bored yesterday that i was looking forward to coming to work. not because i really like being here or anything, but because if i am here, it means i have something to do. right now i am doing something and it is slow and painful...but yesterday, i was watching speed skating and downhill skiing....not that boring of sports, but when you watch the same thing the day before, it just takes away some if not all of the fun...that's where i am in my life right now, bored. too bored to do anything about it because i think i might be the only bored person. everyone i called yesterday to play football with was asleep until 2...i guess their lives are exciting enough that they had a reason to stay out and have the amount of fun required to keep you asleep until 2.

the fun that i created for myself was this blog...but i was too bored to type because i figured what ever i wrote would come out as boring as my day was, kind of like this post is coming out as bitter i am feeling right now.

i can't even think of one thing that has made me laugh today and usually i can find something like this on the metro because there is always someone to laugh at on the train who is clearing having "one of those days". you know the people who look like they were drunk all night and wake up a complete mess and then proceed to bump into people on the train or drop everything they are carrying or if you are really lucky, trip on the escalator and scream out an uncontrolled noise that's just all around embarrasing? i could have really used one of those to get my morning going. instead, i am just remembering that i had 3 friends with birthdays in the past week, but i can't remember the exact dates. instead of taking the chance and calling on the wrong day, i took the easy way out and didn't call. whatadick. so now i must prepare myself for the "i'm an asshole but happy belated birthday" call to which the usual response is "oh, don't worry about it". see, that is just boring and typical. what would be hilarious would be if the person told you off and while doing so, gave away the actual date of their birthday. something like "it's been two days..." and then you are set for the following year. of course, i did make a premature call, like 4 days in advance and was told the actual date...but if forgot....i really am that bored.

i am confused. is the first grown-up moment the boredom or the lack of excitement over snow?
