Learn to make a new dish

Chances are good that your like to eat, and if your anything like me, when bored the desire to raid the fridge becomes dominant.

So whey not go out and make an afternoon out of a new recipe.

All Recipes

This is the Wal-Mart of recipe websites, here you can find everything from apple appetizers to a full on steamed zucchini dinner. What’s most appealing about All Recipes is that one can change the recipe to serve just yourself or a large army; it’s completely up to you. Not only does this culinary website offer the recipes, but helpful tips and advice from the food Dr’s themselves as well as various articles from a vast database of delicious medleys. So don’t be such a couch potato.

Read

Okay, so it’s not the greatest idea ever, but knowledge is power. Remember read something you enjoy, this isn’t a fourth grade book report that dues on Monday. It’s supposed to wisk you away from your troubles and woes for at least a little while. Nothing like watching the idiot box. Even if it’s Readers Digest or the latest copy of 2600 read something you would be interested in. Did you know that forty-two million adult Americans can’t read and because of this are losing 237 billion dollars total each year in money that they could be earning if they knew how to read. So hell, who knows, you could be making more money each year, just by increasing your vocabulary. I started @ a half-hour per day and worked up from there. I find that I have more of an imagination that I did when I was watching T.V. On the internet there are resources galore for awesome articles or short stories to repair manuals or How to’s. My favorite are:

Ehow

Their slogan says it all. “Learn how to do just about everything!” And they mean it. Self improvement has never been easier. Looking for a boost in self confidence? Maybe find a new niche? Or how to speak in public better? Look into ehow.com.

Short Stories

It’s not the snazziest of websites as far as decor is concerned but let’s not judge a book by its cover. Classic Reader has short stories from Edger Allan Poe to Israel Zangwill just for your eyes to view. Here you can also find many other resources to online public libraries of other writers and stories.

You Tube

You Tube is an awesome cure for boredom. Go out and take some of the home-movies you have of all the embarrassing stuff you did as a kid and put it on there or just sit and surf the database of videos. It doesn’t matter what you do here ort how you do it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

YouTube

What I dig the most about You Tube is that its not just worthless crap. There are videos that can educate the average Joe about everything. For example, let’s say you’ve wanted to learn to play Black Dog by Led Zeppelin, but all the tabs you found for the beginning riff are way out of whack. Well, doing a quick search of the Tube once can learn not only by sound but also from the power of sight, making the song seem easy as custard pie. This education is not just limited to music. One could learn how an engine works or how the evolution of the light bulb, the sky is the limit here. And if what you’re looking for isn’t on there you have the power to put it on there.

Yes there is also a magnitude of funny, witty and profound videos. Did you miss the latest Bush Speech? Obama was on Colbert Report but you were @ work huh? No worries, they have it. Just go check it out already, it’s the talk of the town.

Go for a Walk

Since the dawn of a new era a gas prices has risen, walking doesn’t have such a bad name anymore. Besides summer is upon us, go out and take a brisk early morning stroll just to see the sun rise before the blistering noon day heat bakes you like a cookie. So, you’re not a morning person eh? That’s fine. Go out as the day is wrapping itself up; go mosey along just as the sun races behind you. Either way it’s not only refreshing and peaceful but healthy too. America’s poster child is so fat its cereal bowl comes with a life guard and even the life guard was born in June July and August. Come on now, is it that hard to put down that greasy cheap food and get some exercise? Maybe, it is an addictive narcotic that’s killing rather than healing, but that’s no excuse to give in to their clever marking hype. No means no! Go for a walk.

See a New Flick

Take your significant other out and enjoy the evening at the movies. He/she wouldn’t mind the company and the time to see the thrills and insight into someone else life for a change. With all the stress of work and the Iraqi conflict, no one wants to just waste away sitting at home. Czech out:

Cinemark

It’s got all the playing movies for you city and even allows you to buy tickets online from the comfort of your own home. Okay there might be some horrible movies out these days but you never know what kind of night it could be, so make it a good one and let’s face it it’s easier than running for President…

These are just a few of the many things there are to do in this world. Don’t take my word for it. There are a whole lot I’m not going into, play with your own ideas and be creative. After all that’s what life is all about. And Have fun!
