Well, folks this is the final Cheetos Boredom Buster on the Indy Mogul Blog, so I'm gonna lay a real treat on you: The Works of David Seger. Whoa, what? The works of David Seger? Aren't I Dave Seger? Isn't that a little bit cheap? Not if you value having your boredom busted, bucko! Here I am, writing all these blogs trying to point you towards entertainment and joy when all I have to do is stick my thumb backwards at my head to point to the guy who busts my boredom the most: Me. Here's the real lesson, class: the ultimate way to bust that boredom is to get creative. Make some art. Doodle a picture. Write a short story. Record a Facebook wall video. Build a chair. Rename the categories to your AIM buddy list. Play around. Have fun. The best way to wash away boredom is to stay active and discover something about yourself.

Making videos has been a big part of my life. A source of experimentation and happiness. Here are some highlights from my video catalog:


Irrational Fears
A short one to start, Irrational Fears is one of my favorite videos. It's about a minute long, was easy and fun to shoot, and I got to play around in the desert. Sometimes the video-making experience is as simple as getting an idea out of your system. I had this idea bouncing around for six months before I finally returned to Vasquez Rocks National Park and made sure to get it shot.

Barrel of Monkeys
I honed my craft working on shows for my college cable station. This Barrel of Monkeys video was produced for an episode of a sketch comedy I was doing called A-OK Sketch Comedy in 2006. It was a lot of fun, and I've always appreciated how this video turned out. The experiment of compositing our faces on toys was totally new to me.

Campus Fun Now - Episode #2
Campus Fun Now is another experiment from my college TV days. I love creating a narrative, and usually tell stories, so when a friend of mine asked me to create a non-fiction segment for his TV show about causing fun around on campus, I was excited to figure out how to make it interesting. Tom and Mr. Drew were some great hosts, and it ended up being one of my favorite things I created as an student.

My Inanimate Object Video - Dove Burnfish
It's all about challenging yourself to do new things and setting deadlines. This video is called the "Inanimate Object Video" because that was the challenge my friends and I posed to each other for our weekly "Movie Night." We were going to watch Batteries Not Included, so we told everyone to make a movie where "an inanimate object helps out the hero." That's what happens here. I combined my own desire to make a musical in the same style as Flight of the Conchords with the criteria to have an inanimate object help out. Check out the Movie Night site for more weird challenges and executions.

But that's it -- I mean, I have more to show you, but you can dig for it. I have a blog, I have a Vimeo page. I like entertaining people, so I hope you were entertained these past few weeks during the Cheetos Boredom Buster. Six little portals of entertainment. Keep your eye on places like Indy Mogul and you're bound to find more things to bust your boredom online. Come on, it's the internet! Thanks everybody.
