long time coming

i can't think of why i can't write anything anymore. the best i can do is speculate about my own frame of mind because frankly, i am way too distracted and absent-minded to think of what i did or what i am doing from one moment to the next.

 it is what they say "the burden of the multi-tasking mind". we end up as slaves to the shortened short term memory thus making us appear as airheaded and unfocused. it is in some degrees true. the multi-tasking brain is not focused on a single, clear goal but is set upon a multitude of scattered and incoherent tasks.

i semi-desperately try to rein in my mind. i try and focus on a single task, a single thing even. i find it hard, maybe because i have been trained and my senses have been honed to attend to the stimuli in my environment. i am able to read the tv caption and watch the program at the same time, listen to music, sing in my mind and do a crossword puzzle effectively at the same time. it is, i believe, a blessing and a curse.

---------------------------------------

on a much lighter note, i heard paris hilton's album is about to be available for public dis/pleasure... so tell me, is our society still on the path of developing high quality art as started in the renaissance?  i fear for our society's future.

My new 'home'

I've decided to shake things up a bit and finally do the move from blogger to tabulas. It was time. As of now, my thoughts will call this journal 'home' in space.

 Until the next post. Ciao.
