I want to listen to some music. Oh no... does that mean... I should use my laptop? I cannot listen to music anywhere else. Oh man. Time to get angry.
I carefully press the power button. Let's hope no bug or glitch happens. I know, I know, I should do something else in the meanwhile, just not to get bored. I'm hungry, so I eat some beans. They're delicious! After 5 minutes, the screen is still dark.
14:05
The screen is still dark, so I take a short walk outside. I like being in the open air, I find it relaxing. After 5 minutes, I head back home.
14:10
While I was outside, a bug occurred. It says:"Cannot find file youareanidiot.dll. Restart the computer". I restart the computer and take a walk outside again. I walk for 10 minutes but then I'm getting bored. You might be asking. "Do you have a mobile phone?". I have a very old mobile phone that doesn't let me watch videos nor listen to music. I have to buy a new one. I head back home again.
14:20
YES! It actually started this time! It says "Loading, please wait". I'm so excited! This is much faster than usual! I might be listening to some music today! That's a miracle! As it's loading, I try to sleep on the couch. I would need some relaxing music, but I have to wait for that.
14:24
Wow, it has finished loading, now I just have to be patient and try to open my browser. Here I go. As soon as I click on the icon, the screen turns white. I'll wait some more.
14:28
The screen turned normal again, but the browser hasn't opened. I click on it again, and the screen is painted in a dark blue color.
14:32
I click on my browser's icon again, and it looks like it's going to open anytime soon. I just have to wait and not to click anywhere else in the meanwhile. The screen has become white, and the browser still hasn't opened. I walk inside my house, thinking about what I can do. There's nothing much to do, to be honest, I don't even have something I can write a story on, well, except my laptop. I start to dance and sing out of boredom.
14:44
Still nothing. The screen is normal but the browser hasn't opened. I decide not to click on it and wait a few more minutes. In the meanwhile, I dance and sing.
Hey! I'm writing a song
But it won't be too long
You don't want to talk
Hey! I'm lonely as...
14:45
As I was singing, my laptop crashed, and it has to be restarted. And I'm getting tired of dancing and singing random words. What can I do not to get bored? Do I really need a physical object or a person to have fun? I don't think so, I can have fun myself. I roll on the floor for a few second, and then decide it's too boring to keep doing that. I jump, and then have a conversation with myself.
"Hello"
"Hello there, what do you want to talk about?"
"Music"
"Ohh... which kind of music do you listen to?"
"I listen to..."
Okay, it feels uncomfortable. Talking to myself, really? A monologue is way better. Well, that's what I'm doing, these thoughts inside my mind can be considered a monologue.
14:47
So, my hypothesis is: in order to have fun, you must have a physical object with you, or another person (that is not you). In order to prove myself wrong, I want to try have fun without any tool or person. I make funny faces, jump, think, sleep, and a few other things. No, I'm not having that much fun.
14:53
My laptop is ready. I click on my browser's icon, and the screen turns white as usual. I run in the hallway, but that's not so much fun. I'm waiting for the screen to turn normal again, so I can listen to some music.
14:57
The screen is now okay, I click on my browser's icon, and for a strange reason, it looks like it's working now. Maybe I can listen to a song today. Today I want to listen to some post-rock, if my computer is okay with that.
15:00
Finally, the browser has opened, but I must not click anywhere for at least 10 minutes, else it will freeze. I dance, but doing it without listening to any music is a bit awkward.
15:10
It looks like the home page has finished loading, so I try to type the url but the characters are not being typed. One more click, and the screen is white again. Damn! I'm waiting for my PC to get operative again.
15:30
My computer's screen is still white, so I hold the power button to turn it off. I restart it.
15:45
I don't know what to do to keep myself entertained, I don't even have a TV. I sleep on the couch and caress my own hair, but since it doesn't feel good, I stop. This boredom is frustrating, so I'm twiddling my thumbs. I exhale. It looks like I can't have any fun.
15:50
"Cannot find file youarethedumbestpersonever.sys. Please restart the computer"
Oh, okay. I restart the computer and wait.
16:00
"Loading, please wait"
Let's hope.
16:05
I'm jumping while pretending to be in a thrash metal live concert. I can't hear the music, but it's playing within my thoughts. I can have fun, after all. I sing random words.
DESTRUCTION! VIOLENCE DESTROYS OUR SOULS
ANNIHILATION! WAR AND CHAOS WILL BE BROUGHT
KNEEL BEFORE THE IMPENDING APOCALYPSE WE CREATED
THE SEEDS OF DOOM AND DESPAIR WILL BE SOUGHT
TO KILL AND SHOW NO MERCY IS OUR CALL
Now, an epic solo is playing.
TRAPPED INSIDE AN ABBACINATING BLAZING CHAMBER
YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE YOUR ETERNAL TORMENT
ABANDON ALL HOPES, FOR YOU ARE LIVING ON EARTH
I've jumped so much I can't breathe anymore, but it was worth it. I'm feeling different now. Better. Is that the so-called runner's high? I check my computer.
16:15
Still "Loading, please wait". I really hate my computer. I drink some water and sleep on the couch.
17:15
I've slept for an hour, but my computer is ready to be used now. I'm happy. I try to click on the browser's icon, but it just doesn't work, it won't open. This time, however, it's not crashing or anything, so I guess I'm pretty lucky.
17:20
Still not working. I think I'm going to eat some eggs later. I love eggs. They are a really rich food. I love eggs. I think I'm going to eat some eggs later. Still not working.
Am I becoming crazy?
I love music. I can't live without music. Still not working.
I suppose I'm not going to listen to any music today but I can hope for it to happen because sometimes my computer can become relatively fast, I mean, faster than the snail it usually is. This boredom is killing me, I wish I could have an instrument, but that would mean I would be having fun by using a tool, and that's what I'm trying to avoid, since I want to prove I can have fun without using anything. Not that I have anything fun to do. Not that I know people who want to talk with me. I'm so bored I can't even think properly.
17:30
I click on the desktop, but my computer freezes. Hopefully, it won't crash again. Starting over is a bit frustrating. What did people do in ancient Rome to have fun? I guess they had some olympics or something like that, but other than that? Did they have fun? I suppose life was pretty boring back then, so I shouldn't complain. Did the Romans complain about boredom, anyway?
18:00
The browser has just opened, but I know for experience that I shouldn't click anywhere for the next 20 minutes, so I take this chance to cook some eggs. I slowly eat those eggs. They're delicious! I drink some freshly made lemon juice that tastes really good. What else can I do? I had fun eating those eggs, but they were physical objects, so that didn't count.
18:20
I successfully typed the url of the (legal) music streaming website, now I click enter and... well, the screen turns white. I wait. What can I do while I'm waiting? I don't know, eat something again? Jump? Dance? Roll on the floor? Make funny faces? Sing? Well, I'm going to take a shower.
18:40
I'm as clean as ever now. Strangely, the website has loaded. I'm so excited now. I try to click on the site's inputbox, but it's already starting to freeze.
18:45
It stopped freezing, therefore I type the name of the song I want to listen to, I click on enter, and the screen turns blue. ****! It's a very bad sign.
18:50
"Loading, please wait"
Here we are again.
19:00
What? It restarted? I'm losing my temper.
19:10
I'm exhausted. I try to click on my browser but an error message appeared.
"This type of file is not supported"
After that, my computer freezes.
19:15
I click on it again, and wait.
19:20
It finally opens, but I'm waiting 20 minutes before clicking on anything.
19:40
I enter the url.
19:42
The site loads.
19:45
I enter the name of the song.
19:50
I click on the song. WOW! IT'S ABOUT TO START!
19:55
My computer freezes.
20:00
The song has started, and I feel relieved. This music is so relaxing. It took me 6 hours to listen to this song, but it was totally worth it! After 2 minutes, my computer freezes, but the song still keeps playing. Listening to this masterpiece is simply heavenly. After 10 minutes, the song is over, and I want to listen to it again, but my computer is inactive.
20:15
I turn my computer off by holding the power button, and decide I will never use it again. I'm going to buy another one, definitely.
September 25, 2021. 16:00
I go to the store and buy a new computer. I go back home and, wow, it's extremely fast.
16:30:00
I turn it on.
16:30:05
It loads.
16:30:10
I click on my browser, which immediately opens.
16:30:15
I enter the url of the music streaming website.
16:30:20
I enter the name of that song.
16:30:21
I click on that song and it immediately plays.
21 seconds. And to think it took me 6 hours to do it on my old computer. I have wasted my life, but this is a good ending, after all. Now I can do everything I want. I feel happy.
I spent the whole evening watching videos, listening to music and playing games with my new computer. This is the end of half of my pain, but now, I should find someone to share these moments with. Unfortunately, everyone is unkind, and nobody wants to stay with me. They should open some recreational centers where you can talk with someone else or something like that, it would be really useful, but, uhm, right now I cannot talk with anyone. Not every story is a full good ending, but I'm wondering whether people should accept unfair things in life.
