Getting Bored

Maybe because I've already repeated my favorite songs for like more than 200 times, I started scrolling down the list of Top Singles (songs) and Genius list of iTunes store now. But the more I try on hearing from them, the more I feel like... what the hell...

Why are every song sounds the same? It almost feels like I can recreate the melody of all of them out of some simple, mediocre templates. Why are the artists today so keen on repeating a same feeling again and again and again? Aren't they ever bored of it? Well, I am.

Somehow, it reminds me of the old days back in high school when I finally got sick of the peoms(lyric, more precisely) of the Song Dynasty. Back then I was crazily in love with poems. I read them; I recite them. And more than occasionally, I write them. And after being marvelled by some of the great lyrics written by people in Song Dynasty. I decided to buy a book and satiate myself with the whole world of beauty lying in that elegant rhythmic form. And then, I don't really remember if I had ever been satiated... But I was surely bored after reading some tens of them... Of all those lyrics I read, eight out of ten are about a girl or woman or... whatever, missing her long gone husband, wishing their return in some slightly different manners. And of the rest 20 percent of the lyrics I read which finally shows some real variances, half of those are still about a girl or woman or... whatever again, feeling thrilled by the company of their loving husband or mate or lover or some type of one night stand or... again, whatever. I mean, dude! I know love is a great thing and probably everybody would spent some time everyday to feel or wonder how it's like. But nine out ten lyrics are about it? And in such a similar manner? Seriously! HAVE YOU NEVER GOT BORED OF IT? Well, I was.

Or maybe, I'm just too easy to get bored... Just like now, I'm bored of writing I'm bored... After all, no matter how much more I still have to say about it, writing a thousand lines on how bored I am certainly won't really help on anything. So, about that, it might be better if I just  carry on and do something I'm not so bored with, giving myself some fresh push. Now speaking of something I'm not so bored with, what could that be...
