How my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down
I'm supposed to be editing an article for work. I haven't blogged for awhile. My knee hurts. I think I did something to it playing tennis yesterday.
I think I have an attention disorder. Seriously. I can't read a page without staring off for a few minutes to think. I can't edit a paragraph without finding a different song to listen to. I can't start a project and finish it, before starting a different one. I can't sit for long periods of time and focus on what's going on around me. A lot of the time I'm in my own world of ideas and thoughts, even when someone's talking to me. Who do I blame? What do I blame? Was I always like this? I'd like to think it's a recent development. You know, I think it's Facebook's fault. Facebook fueled Egyptian frustrations and helped overthrow their leader. That seems positive, despite the casualties. Has Facebook done anything positive for me?
I think it's destroying my brain cells. Actually as I was writing this sentence I checked Facebook.
Help! Why is my attention span so short? Why am I always thinking about tomorrow and not living today? Why am I a dreamer, but not a doer? The late-afternoon sunlight is seeping through the office window. I'll be going home soon. My evening will pass like so many others.
