Are You Bored?

Are you under stress? Is your brain fried in the wake of mid-terms, and constantly set on longings for Thanksgiving break? Are you bored? If you're looking for something to do while actually doing nothing, YouTube is the answer to your prayers.

I was introduced to YouTube when my sister sent me an e-mail from work. It's a clip of Michelle, from Destiny's Child, hitting the deck at the beginning of a performance. It's always hilarious to see professionals screw up, but this was extra special because of Beyonce's reaction to the fall-- absolutely nothing. Kelly at least looked to see if she was o.k. Wicked hilarious, see for yourself!
~Michelle's Fall!~

The usefullness, at least for my purposes, of the information on YouTube is that the information is useless. The founder's original concept was to share videos with his family via the Internet. In eighteen months, the site has now grown so that everyone is allowed to post clips. The site is simple and user-friendly, not at all overwhelming. There is a good search feature and the site is organized by content, genre, and topics. Any given clip may come from almost any user of site. I however, do not post videos and choose to use the site strictly for entertainment.

Yet another, equally wonderful, procrastination device is Bored.com. This site needs no introduction, the name is expilicit enough. However, a notable point, Bored.com is a superior site because it offers more variety. It has links to other sites for all topics: Humor, Sports, Trivia, Romance, Music, etc. Again, it's all explicit in the title. Bored? Go to Bored.com.
