What To Do!
I’m sitting here in front of my Mac and I can’t think of a single thing to write, well apart from this thing about how I can’t think of anything to write.
Sometimes it feels like there’s too much to do and I’m paralysed by the choice available to me.
So I’m sitting here listening to Eels and lazily browsing the web.
So often do I end up sitting in stasis, unable to move, not going one way or the other for fear of missing something. Unable to even commit to watching a film, two hours is too much, I might miss something else.
Consequently I miss everything.
This is a mess isn’t it?

That sound so familiar. Somebody one told me that the secret of success was single-mindedness. In that blinding moment I realised I was doomed!
Please insert consonants, as required, in the above post.
Yes it sounds very plausible.
All the millionaires that I know, and I only know two, have a level of focus that could set fire to ants.
I just don’t have it. Or I had it and lost it to drink, or love, or TV, or something.
Whatever way you cut it, it can’t be manufactured, so I’m resigned to being the way I am forever.
I know what I need, I need a muse!
On the other hand all the interesting, fun people I’ve known have been equally unfocused. There is nothing wrong with underachievement so long as you approach it with conviction (or even single-mindedness, I suppose). He, he.
This is a very good point. I just need to relax a bit.
Now, where did I put that gin?
Gin makes a man mean.
Well I’m a mean machine!
I do believe that if I were only more focussed, I’d be pretty unstoppable. And in fact, times where I am forced to focus due to impending crisis (work deadlines, visitors arriving to a bomsite of a house) the results are always top notch. the trick is to impose that sense of urgency on yourself, a skill some have and an uncontrollable trait suffered by others -your driven millionaires. But can they rest when they get there? There are always trade-offs. The ability to have many ideas, probably due to some kind of looseness in the brain cells allowing greater freedom for odd and ever changing connections I’m guessing, unfortunately means I am not so good at other things, like time, reality, that sort of thing. Though I’m fairly hot on space. When I have time. What you need is a boring focussed person to team up with Jon. Or a crisis. And don’t worry about missing things, you miss nearly eveything n th world every second, in those times just go and do something simple. Life happens while you are planning other things y’know. Now, where did I put my keys.
