I prefer the sincere "I'm bored" explanation than the all the other stuff, which just seems like a cop-out, baby. Was hoping to convey the "full potential" notion to you, but i guess it didn't make it.
Edit: i appologise if that seems rude. I just look at all that black around him, and feel empty inside. I feel this could be much, much better with a proper "techniquely innovating, broodingly mood" environment.
