How I get by
I’m hesitant to even entertain the possibility that I have some sort of attention deficit disorder, but I am confident that there are far too many distractions in my room. Various civilian activities take up valuable minutes that could be spend coating the inside of my skull with one of the densest books I’ve ever read (Bruce Trigger’s Understanding Ancient Civilizations) or vomiting highlighter ink on articles about political economy and state formation. So goes my quiet Friday evening in: all the distractions of the outside world are drowned out in favor of my computer, the internet, blog reading, music downloads, television (i.e. Law & Order: SVU), and books (i.e. NOT Bruce Trigger). As the caffeine wears off I start to consider watching a movie, listening to my trusty iPod, or hanging upside down by my ankles for a few minutes to make room for more information.
