RAN[bore]DOM

     Admittedly, the picture is a product of a boring lecture. Let us then thank the speaker for delivering a talk during the photographer’s sleep. Just kidding. But seriously, the photographer is in gratitude to the lecturer. If not for him, there would be no picture like this. But he must not be blamed for the photographer’s almost dozing off during the speech delivery. It was caused by some other factors that the photographer wishes to keep in secrecy.

    But, have you ever wondered why sometimes you are more creative when bored? Some people come up with random ideas during the boredom sensation. It is best proven by the selfies Facebook people upload captioned “When boredom strikes”. Why did I say creative? It’s because why would someone upload a picture of himself or herself if he/she thinks he/she is not attractive in those shots? After all, beauty is relative.

     Artists all over the world and all throughout history and even up to today search for motivation for their work. Some are fueled by strong feelings and emotions that they can’t communicate straightly best put it in their painting or song. Some are fueled by selfish desires for money and/or popularity. Still some are backed up by their dream of being top of the class (now I’m talking about class projects here). Some do art because they want to advocate or to propose an idea to the rest of the world. But today things are a little bit different.

   Gone are those days that require such fuels (as enumerated above) to make an art. Today, we can do art because we are not doing anything. We can make art without being angry or being heartbroken. We can make art not because we are not told to do so. We are doing art because we have nothing to do. And to save us from the weariness of boredom, random thoughts come to our mind and we can come up of almost anything (not suicide please). Not just anything, something creative such as the picture above (pats on himself). So go on, there’s nothing wrong with getting bored. Be bored and be randomly creative.
