NOT BORED ENOUGH!

some sour anarchists like to pronounce themselves not bored. so what then? you're in pain? you're mad? big deal. I say we're NOT BORED ENOUGH!

but maybe we're getting there...

NYC: the event

two thoughts at once...

...some people feel like Manhattan should just happen to them, like they don't have to work at it at all. I see this at the cart every night. "I'm here, I'm ready, I'm watching, I'm waiting....why isn't it happening for me/to me/for me to see." watchers and head nodders. chin strokers, shoe gazers, getting wasted night after night. dissatisfied but never bored. anguished but never letting the itch get down in the bone.


...it's been a while since 9-11. people are starting to come out from under the shock, skin itching ready to be scraped clean. a new body growing underneath the scab. healing does not return us to our old body.


Boredom is the rebirth, innocent desire for something new, the sputtering start of creation. what better for PB function?

what else are you looking for? why freight this feeling with your tired ideology, Mr?


DO NOT CONFUSE BOREDOM AND CAPTIVITY

if you cannot leave work, cannot do something else, are forced...


DO NOT CONFUSE BOREDOM AND RESENTMENT

quashed anger is not boredom. swallow your rage and it will poison you.


WE NEED TO BE BORED BETTER, FASTER, at a HIGHER FREQUENCY


think of the productivity!


EXPECT GOOD THINGS THIS AUTUMN. WHEN THE CITY COMES BACK TO LIFE, WE WILL BE BORED. WE WILL MAKE NEW THINGS BECAUSE NO-ONE ELSE IS MAKING THEM FOR US.
