So, bummin. What is it? It's that shit you do when you got nothin' to do. No place to go, nothing important on your mind. Nothing of important.
Bummin' goes by many other code words; chillin, relaxing, shootin' the breeze, and many more. But really? You're just bummin 'round.

If you're doing something with ANY purpose, it's a worthwhile activity. You wanted to watch that movie? You watchin flicks. Want to beat a game? Gamin'. Etc etc. But if you're just watching Deep Blue Sea for the 50th time cause it's on TBS, you're bummin.
See what I'm saying?

Aight, so, there are some things you actually do need to know 'bout bummin. Bummin is actually very dangerous is done improperly. Incorrect bumming can cause you to, well, become a damn bum when done frequently. Being a bum is bad because you waste a ridiculous amount of time on bs. You dont learn anything, you don't enjoy anything, and you really just sit around like a vegetable waiting for something of interest to actually spark your mind.
Don't #1 of Bummin: Don't bum in your "sweet spot".
ya know, your favorite chair, that imprinted spot on the sofa? Dont bum there. Why? If you bum there, you're liable to bum the entire day away. Go to a place that "could be better". That why, it'll cross your mind that you could be in a better spot, and you'll move. The assumption is that, while moving, you'll actually think of something to do.
Don't #2 of Bummin: Don't do that thing "You can do forever".
that wack ass book you can read again and again? That game that's "so tight it'll never get old?" Nah dawg. That's how you get trapped. If you gon' bum, you better bum on something that's not uBer. Get that game that's kool till that one part, or that cd that has like... 7 trash tracks in the middle of it. Same idea, you dont want to bum till the end of time.
There are plenty more Don't of Bummin', but fuck 'em. You get the idea. You dont want to trap yourself in an everlasting state of bummage.

On the flip side, there are some things you can do to make your bummin' experience a safe, pleasnt one.
Do #1 of Bummin': Eat.
Why? Simple. No matter what you eat, when you eat, or how you eat, you're gunna stop. Like, even if you're Cartman, you're gunna f'n stop. Or you're gunna die. So raid the fridge when you're tryin to bum.
Do #2 of Bummin': Don't Do Anything.
Like, seriously. Stare at the ceiling, go watch grass grow, literally dont do anything. You might not be able to think of anything to do, but if you watch cars go by long enough, you'll get pissed and find something to do. Nothing is an acceptable bum tactic.
Do #3 of Bummin': Bum towards a Time Limit.
It's scary to bum with no end in sight, but if you have something you MUST do in the future, then you're OK to bum till then. It's perfectly fine to be wrapped up in your favorite show or chick if you have to get up and pick somebody up. So, if you got a deadline or time event of some shape, form, or fashion, go crazy.

And that, in short, is bummin. Yeah, I know it's not a great lesson, but there's not alot to it. The main thing you need to know is that you dont want to be trapped. Being trapped in a bum state is worse than catching the itis. Fighting the itis isnt so bad, but fighting bum tier?
Oh man, some people never make it out of bum tier, and then they wind up on teh sides of roads beggin for money.
-shakes head-
And that's the lesson for today.
