ADD

I have come to the conclusion that I suffer from Attention Span ADD.  I do not think I have a true case of actual ADD.  I just think that my attention span has been depleted to the point of non existence over the past few years.  I no longer have the ability to learn something new because I do not have the ability to focus on what I need to learn.  I hate reading instruction guides.  I skim when I read books - jumping to the dialog and ignoring the details. 

I blame this on Cameron.  He's lacked focus for as long as I've known him.  He ignored people when they talked because he didn't have the ability to focus on what they were saying after a few seconds of conversation.  I find myself doing the same thing now.  I actually have to try very hard to stay engaged in someone else's stories - especially Cameron's.  I figure that part is really only fair since he hasn't heard a thing I've said for 25 years. 

I also blame Facebook.  FB is the devil incarnate.  We learn things about people in two sentence or two word snippets.  FB status updates have replaced texting which replaced phone calls and face to face conversations.  It's very sad to realize what an impact this has had on my own mind.  I recognize it has caused and indelible mark on my own brain function but I'm amiss to do anything about it.  Will I give up FB to restore my brain function - nope. 

In other words, I know there is a big problem going on inside my own head but I do not have the attention span to do anything about it.
