The uninspired are too busy to be bored.
I came across those words on sign during a rare walk home from work (I usually bike).
The words stuck around with me, not just because the double negative made me have to think longer.
As I wind down my time at my communications job (leaving at the end of March), I have so many tasks I want to tackle in this new new frontier of free time.
This list comes from needing to have things lined up so that I won’t simply sit on my couch and doom-scroll.
With so many opportunities to blast yourself with all types of stimulation and dopamine, boredom seems something to seek it out or to plan it.
So I guess I’m adding boredom to my list. What does that even mean? I don’t know yet. Wish me luck.

February was brutally cold, blindingly sunny, and full of all of the emotions (positive and negative) that those conditions conjure. Looking back, it was full of:
Palestine rally, Sterling, Assiniboine biking, office visits with friends, working on neighbourhoods, Emmaus house visits, Hues and Cues, Severance, broomball, urban massage, Ultimate frisbee, parking lot friend bump intos, chatting with city bus drivers, ears flushed, Wrymspan, cottage cheese pancakes and birthday gifts, Palestine fundraiser, birthday dinners, brother chats, This is Us, youth retreat, blanket exercise, scrabble, Tong Jyun, marketplace pickups, supper with friends, peach and prosciutto pizza, The Mission
Enjoy the photos,
Michael, not Mike
P.S. I thought I should include the poster for my upcoming photo exhibit. If you are in the Winnipeg area during this time, I would love for you to come on by and check it out. There will be a photo reception on April 12 at 7 PM.
Gorgeous! (Also I'm so tickled to have made it onto Fossilized Frames haha! Makes me real glad.)
