So I am currently working at the library sitting behind the front desk twirling my hair, tapping my pen, doing ANYTHING to occupy the time!  I brought a book with me... attempted to read it, read 1 chapter of 15 pages and put it down.  What has this world come to!  It scares me how hard it is to concentrate and get through a simple, enjoyable, light book! 

What I do wish is to be scooping facebook, duh.  Checking out the pictures from Halloween, going through peoples pages that I have no idea who they are, what else!  Seems pretty normal to me?

NOT

Boredom: the state of being bored

Ways to resolve being bored: go on the computer, text your friends, watch television, listen to music, read a book (ha, probably not)

It's scary to think that in today's society when someone is bored the way in which it is resolved is usually through some sort of media orientated way.  Whether you go on your computer and wander through facebook for hours (which is usually what people do), text your friends about nonsense that doesn't even have a point, or just put on a television show because your just to damn lazy to do anything else, the idea of the media is all around it.  It is stalking our lives!  Why not just pick up a book and read for a while?  It's what my mom does, why can't I!  Oh yeah, because I probably do not have the attention span to sit and read a book, but I sure am able to hoop on the computer and do the most unimportant things EVERRRR.

I think after posting this I may read a book?  That could be cool; maybe learn some new vocabulary and just chill.  Ill let you know how that goes (if it even does)

Who are we all kidding?  In todays day and age everyone is OBSESSED with the internet!  There's no escaping it.  People use it when their bored, when they are entertained just can't concentrate (ADD much?), when they need to find an outfit to wear last minute, to find out the latest gossip, to stalk friends on facebook and all other uncountable things!  Even though I agree with some of what Klosterman expressed, I know that in reality nothing will ever change.  If anything things will get worse in the future!

Even though it would be a cool idea to just pick up and forget about the internet or television thats just not real life.
WE ARE COMMENTING OUR IDEAS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET! That pretty much is the best example there is!!!!!

In the writing Klosterman states "the Unabomber believes modern people have no idea how they're supposed to think or feel, so they convince themselves to care about whatever rules the rest of society seems to require."  That pretty much illustrates all the keys ideas he is trying to express:
1. people can not think for themselves, they need decisions to be made by society (but don't really know it)
2. the internet, television, the radio, etc. is just an escape for them to hide and believe that whatever they are doing is the right thing because it is socially excepted
3. people conform to the status quo as choose by society without consciously knowing

For many, the internet gives people their life meaning... Pretty sad, but true.

sitting in the library for hours on end can be to most, considered a drag.  i find it kind of fun though.

looking at what people wear and how they dress is one of my favorite things to do. i wonder to myself if they have ever watched television or have ever flipped through any type of magazine? it baffles my mind at some of the clothing and shoes people wear. not sure if they are trying to start a new fashion trend, walk down the runway at a major fashion event or make a statement to the world, but common, don't you look in the mirror before you go out?

in todays society what to wear and how to be is all dictated through the media. there are those who do decide for themselves, but for the rest decision making isn't there most favorite thing to do. the media expresses ideas that are for the most part in favor of the public and result in people listening to those specific ideas. even though they are not true all the time its the easiest way for people to live, unopinionated zombies much?
