I guess I'll throw some stuff I like to do.
One thing I like doing, as someone mentioned before, is drawing. Sure, it's hard and frustrating, but once you get the finished product you'll feel very proud. I drew Ada Wong from RE4 (I tend to draw girls rather than guys, because uhh… Drawing guys doesn't jiggle my fancy.) and I was very happy with the outcome. It wasn't a trace, but when you look at the screen, look down, look up, look down and draw, look up, look down, fuck up, and curse. Sure it gets repetitive. But it gets your mind off things.
Well, since I'm Italian and I went to go visit the 9,001 siblings i had there. I felt really awkward(saw). I spoke but they all looked at me strange. Where I'm getting here, is learn a new language. I learned by finding an artist I really like, In a different language like Rammstein, and going
here. I wouldn't suggest using google translate. I would write a perfect sentence and Google would say something else. After I improved (greatly) using my tactics, I would speak half English and half Italian to make myself laugh. That and the fact that you know another language makes you feel cool. The thing with WordReference is that you have to translate word by word BUT it REALLY REALLY REALLY is accurate. The conjugations, endings, and the tenses are clear. But to know what the tenses are, you have to look it up somewhere else.
I'll break it down.
Say in English you wanted to say.
I used to like that singer.
You can't say.
Io piaciuto quello cantato.
You need to say
Io piac
evo quello cantato.
You need to use imperfecto (imperfect) instead of pasato (past) because imperfect is implying that you
used to like/do something. Past is just something that happened in the past. But way back in the past like years ago would be trapassato remoto. I learned this
all by listening to a artist's song, getting the lyrics, and translating word by word.
Going to work is another past time, find a job that you like. Finding a job for the $$$ will make you miserable. If you say, "Shit, gotta wake up again," Instead of "Alright, ready for work today!" then change jobs. That or stop being emo.
Try building something too. Make a giant catapult or a mini buggy. (Don't do go-karts, they're just a piece of metal and wheels that go fast. Buggys have suspension.) Don't just be simple be as imaginative as you can be. Don't build a buggy that just goes forward, one that has a reverse. Shit, might as well go with 3-speed manual or something. (Manual over Automatic
any day.)
Just be creative. Wait for an inspiration. Like when I watch TVs shows on how they build stuff, I always get inspired to do something.
I don't know. I really can't tell you anything else because we don't have the same thoughts or perspective on such things.
Off topic, I found a script way back ago called Teh Cow Killer. We were supposed to work on it but it was like barely started. It said AwkwardSaw and JunkJ at the top. I smiled and was like, damn.
Anyways, I hope you get an inspiration to do something. I'm bored as well, too.
