going through the motions


to go through your everyday life in a mechanical manner, as in:
waking up,
going to work,
getting back home,
watching tv,
going to sleep,
repeat.

after an amount of time, it becomes really annoying and boring.
makes you wanna kill yourself or start using drugs.

also, an awesome song from “once more, with feeling”.

maybe i should get some pot.
to go through the motions – to make a feeble effort to do something; to do something insincerely or in cursory fashion; to do something because you are expected to do it and not because you want to; to do something without believing it is important
