Mood:

My entire life is filled with distractions. So much so that I have forgotten the point. I remember smiling about something but I don't remember what it was. It was a really awesome smile though, it lasted for about 18 years. Then high school ended and I got distracted. Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I will follow the first shiny object to be thrown across my line of sight. I really had my work cut out for me when I exited the high school world and entered the real world. There are so many things to keep you from achieving any goal that you set that its next to impossible to get anywhere without being distracted constantly. Think I'm wrong? then why is it everyone chuckles when someone who uses some sort of PA system or paging device says "can you hear me now?" The point is we have gotten so well at incorporating this commercialized sense of being into our everyday lives that we have forgotten the value of family, the truth about Role models, and the real reason for being. We are all so super saturated with this commercial culture that its easy to get lost in it. I know that I am guilty of becoming lost in this fog of advertisement and distraction. Luckily I have a decent set of parents and some good friends that keep me in check. And if I ever expect to get to where I aspire to be, then I hope that the distraction process is reversible, because I will basically have to unplug from everything if I expect to get anywhere. I hope that everyone out there is not as easily distracted as me, otherwise we are doomed. OK, my show is back on, gotta run...
