How can you get bored with Nothingface, Lithurgy and Elton John on your Play Queue?

I know I definitely get a little nuts if I'm low on sleep...

Actually yep that's it. I am extremely sensitive to sleep.

If I get a good sleep im a charming socially suave person who is very empathetic and good to people. When I am tired I turn into a horrid beast who couldn't give a damn about anyone or anything.

Its kind of like Dr.Jekyll

Stress saps strength, without any sense of satisfaction in doing something productive to "better our circumstances."

Fear turned outward is anger.

Fear turned inward is depression.

Depression saps motivation. We languish in the doldrums of inactivity, and miss the hungry years when we found meaning through successfully negotiating challenges.

We seek Rx through retail therapy (AKA G.A.S.).

That will be $25.
I'll invoice ya.

This and your post after are amazing. Seriously you put that incredibly well. While it may be overly pessimistic considering we are not all the same it was for all intensive purposes generally true.

Great post mate.

@right track: I dont think thats always true. Sometimes circumstances lead to boredom.
