I wasn't sure if this was too silly to be posted in the philosophy section, so if it's not, feel free to move this....
So I'm talking with a friend of mine on IM.
He asks what I'm doing.
I tell him, "nothing."
He asks if I'm bored.
-"Nope."
Him: "Then you must be doing
something."
Me: "I'm browsing (msg brd name here)."
Him: "So you
are doing something."
Me: "Don't go turning this into some kinda philosophical conversation!"
Him: "Why not? It'd be fun!"
So, okay, here we go.... and all over me browsing a msg board...
I'm probably not making any sense with what I say further in this conversation, but pretend you understand anyway.

Libragrrldotcom: [/philosophical statement]
: but just because you consider it nothing doesn't mean it's nothing
Libragrrldotcom: But to me it is ;-)
: nothing
: 2: a nonexistent thing [syn: {nonentity}]
: but checking out ***.com is an existant thing :-D
Libragrrldotcom: Dude, my mind has nothing in it. Inside my mind, it's nonexistant b/c I'm not thinking about anything. I'm browsing ***.com mindlessly. So to be, it's nonexistant. :-D
Libragrrldotcom: to *me
: lol
: sue
Libragrrldotcom: hehehehe
: you just told me you have no mind
: lol
: :-D
Libragrrldotcom: I know!! LMAO
: hehehe
: you're not smoking pot are you?
: LOL :-D
Libragrrldotcom: lol no
Libragrrldotcom: I'm not

So the question remains...
Can you do nothing, when others consider it something, and not be bored?
Or, are you really doing "something," which
could be nothing, and still not be bored?
"
Are you pondering what I'm pondering Pinky?"
