Distraction

Dec 12, 2011 23:46

When I listen to some really good music, and I don't mean pop music and all that jazz (no pun intended), but really good music, like He Mele No Lilo or Summer, I can't help but feel inspired to do something. And then I remember that I'm pretty much confined to my small university because I can't drive and none of my friends have cars. Except for one, but his car is tiny and stuffed.

So then I feel like I should write, or draw, or even sit down and read one of those books I told myself I would. Except I don't because I get side tracked by the music and the awesomeness that is the internet. Then I tell myself I should check out some of the communities I joined on lj since I haven't been on the site for ages. But, like usual, I get sidetracked.

Sometimes I feel like if I make a list of what I should do daily this wouldn't happen. And then I remember that even with a list I have a tendency to get sidetracked. It's like going onto Wikipedia or TvTropes and clicking on a link that leads me to clicking on a bunch of other links, and by the time I sit back and realise that two hours have already passed since I got on the website, I'm on a page that has absolutely nothing to do with the original topic I was researching.

Sometimes I wish the internet weren't so addictive.

But most of the time I wish I weren't so easily sidetracked. I swear, one day I'm going to get into a very dangerous or uncomfortable situation because I get so easily distracted. I fear that one day I'm going to click on a bunch of links and somehow end up on a porn site because one of those links was an evil, evil little scam, and someone is going to walk in on me before I have the chance to delete it and grab the brain bleach.

Horrible, horrible fear. I don't know what I fear more: the situation above, or spiders. Possibly spiders. But it would be extremely awkward if that situation ever occurred.

Right. I should go browse those communities now.

Ciao!

rant, random update, fear
