Of course the cliche answer will be "I'm never bored with the Bible" lol...truthfully though reading the Bible is good but I can't read the Bible for hours upon hours (or much of anything for hours upon hours) ....

so here is what I do:

Listen to music/play piano
surf the web, read important news and websites (not facebook or other celeb news which are both useless imo)
play video games for 1hr to relax (not more than 1 hr all day)
argue (cough) I mean discuss on CC....:)

These things usually dissipate any boredom i would have....

Try to learn a new word or two in Gaelic (with my memory it will take me the rest of my life to learn enough to ever use it)

When my students tell me that they're bored, I respond with, "That just means you're not intelligent enough to entertain yourself." *smirk*

I spend the time thinking of something fun to do, knowing that, in most cases, there is none and if there was, I'd either be too lazy to get it done or find out that it's not really that fun at all, and by the time I realize that, my boredom is already over, and I go to sleep.

One of these days you'll get a genius with a psycho streak in there and that statement will tip them over the edge and make them throw themselves into their hitherto half-hearted world domination plans and you'll be responsible for killing us all.
Well done. ^u^

Mankind is the only creature God gave enough intelligence to be bored.

I take a cue from my dog. If there's nothing to do, don't do it. Take a nap instead. Then when life gets interesting again you'll have plenty of energy to take advantage of it. ;)

Or I read a book or play a game or make something to eat or....

Sorry, I'm not the best person to ask what to do when you're bored because I don't have a lot of experience with being bored. There's just too many interesting things to do.

If you're bored try learning to play the piano. Because if you can play a piano you can connect your keyboard to your computer and do stuff like this.

Or something like this:

[video=youtube;2suyguH9Pqc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2suyguH9Pqc[/video]

Or you can make soundtracks for songs you (or someone else) want to sing at church, like I've made.
https://app.box.com/shared/ibk9qmzl0s
"Chasing after You" was the track I think I did the best on. "Jesus is a Rock" is the easiest one I ever did. I made "Jesus is a Rock" for the kids at church to sing with. Anything labeled "Soundtrack" is what I made. Anything labeled "Demo" is the song I heard that I wanted to make a soundtrack for.
