You know Jacque Barzun was on cspan2 talking about his book today- From Dawn to Decadence. It's an interesting book- I don't agree with him completely, but it sure is interesting. Anyway, he has a theory about boredom- that it is an integral part to decadence. I'm not sure we are in decadence, or that boredom is as pandemic as Barzun thinks it is, but your comment made me think of it.

I certainly am not bored. If anything I am frustrated by the number of things I want to learn, to see, to do, and the small amount of time I am given to do everything in. On the other hand, if I had eternity, I am sure I would get nothing done. I need something more than what I get but something less than eternity. Now who do I speak to about that?
