I'm so Bored that I watched a movie.

So, today I am so incredibly Bored that I actually have yet to get out of bed. Yes, it is noon, and I am sitting in bed writing a blog post.  All of my favorite TV shows have all ended their seasons with incredibly boring finales.  In one, the main character continued to get up every morning, brush his teeth, and go to work.  In the evenings, he continued to eat dinner, read the newspaper, shower, and go to bed.  That was about the most exciting plot line Boredom has seen this year.  Anyway, this morning, I had no TV to watch, and I was Bored, so I watched The Invention of Lying, a movie so horrendous that Xfinity will let you watch it online for free.  Since when does "not lying" equal "always being mean"? Without ever lying, I can not say things which are mean unless provoked.  Yes, I understand answering direct questions.  "How are you today?" "I'm really Bored."  That makes sense, if I cannot lie.  However, there is absolutely no reason why a homeless man's sign cannot read "I'm hungry. Please give me money"  instead of "I don't understand why you're not homeless and I am."  You do not have to grab every person that goes by and tell them your innermost thoughts.  It does not require deceit to keep things to yourself sometimes.  That being said, I don't understand how society in this movie claims to have evolved the same way and to the same point without any deception.  There simply would not be big business.  Also, the movie treats religion as if it is obviously a lie, and this is an utterly unfair assessment.  (Notice though, that the preacher in the chapel wears a cross around his neck...) Regardless of the validity of religion, (which I will not attempt to discuss in this blog, since this blog is primarily for fun and to relieve the tediousness of Boredom) religion molded society to its present condition.  Without Christianity, many scientific and educational advancements never happen.  It is literally impossible that society could evolve to the present age without any deception. The movie is so unbelievable that I am even more Bored now than I was before I watched it.  I defy you to offer me a reasonable back-story for The Invention of Lying.  If I'm going to live in Boredom, I at least want some decent entertainment.
