Too drab or not too drab...

Dull and uninteresting...tedious...
Nay, not you..not even me and I hope this read isn't as well!
That's the Webster meaning of a very interesting word by the way- "Boring".
I dunno how exactly you picture "boring" in your head. Well, I have technicolored samples of various flavours of boredom that range from unending sagas of television series to a specific class I used to attend at college. Unfortunately, regardless of anything, my wakefulness was only indirectly proportional to the diameter of the pupils of the eyes of the professor!

And so to speak, for many, it might be quite a boring job to find a source of entertainment. What's entertainment and why is it such a big deal for 'thinking' beings? Well, that might be a wrong statement. It might be real boring to chew grass all day long and all grazing animals might be bearing the heaviness quietly by chewing some more!

Exploring another aspect of entertainment, you'd think, how many ways can one actually explore entertainment? Does it depend only on the senses? Well, how are then people entertained just by thinking about something or someone?
So, you probably couldn't box entertainment or enter the mode of entertainment only at certain hours in the day!
What a sore pain would then one have, knowing that all the while, what one was categorising as mundane or chore was actually entertainment and that box of entertainment was actually the painfully 'worked out work'!
How do you then recognise and catch your bit of entertainment before it runs away like a chicken in run?

In case you are still seriously focussing on this read and trying to compare mental notes on the entertainment in your life, congratulations!!
You have reached the 'Beeping Red . Boredom Comatose' stage!!!
Wait up, before we reach the 'Pathetic stage', have you noticed there are premium, non premium and base categories of entertainment as well?
There's rich mans's share and there's poor man's share of entertainment.
Why, there's peer pressures associated too and you might need to explain if you don't subscribe or don't relish certain entertainment.
But then, there are these things too that you enjoy for reasons you don't even know.
That brings the question, can one learn to be entertained? Isn't taste of entertainment as personal as the individual?

Ahem...if that's the case, it just doesn't make sense how trends of entertainment emerge. And how sometimes we don't explore our individual tastes of entertainment and follow a routine even for entertainment like the rest of the routine life.
Well, to each his own..good marketing or good fooling around or good entertainment!
