Attention...Span

I never seem to Write anything here, these days. Have I got nothing to vent about? Or have I become too complacent with my faults that I no longer care about them anymore? Maybe it has something to do with my decreasing attention span. There was a time when I can do a thing for a long time, without my attention wavering towards another. But that was then, now I can hardly have my mind at one thing for more than a few seconds. Perhaps this has something to do with how I have been living my life, always on the edge, not knowing what is going to happen the next second, always ready to jump to the vantage point at any instance ... etc. Etc. is such a nice word, one can use it whenever one runs out of ideas. But I digress. Oh, yes, attention span.

A mail notification! I must shift my mind on that and come back here after that...wait, there is a instant message too, asking for help in one of the online games I play. This won't take long, will come back to continue this writing.

Ah, that was quick; the mail was quite uninformative and tediously long, and I helped in one of the deathrune seige of one of my gaming friend in that facebook game. And now I am finally able to return to my writi...ng. Is that someone knocking on my door or is it the neighbour's? Who might it be, so late in the night?

It was my neighbour knocking on my door. Someone dropped him a book and asked him to gave it to me. Is that my phone vibrating. Ah... give me a moment...
It is only a message. Nothing important.

Now is it my fault that I could not write this piece of blog in one go? That I could not give my whole attention to write a piece of my mind because my attention span is as much as that of a goldfish?

What book it is that is on the table? I have this terrible urge to read it. I must fight back the instinct to jump on it...
...
It is hard to tear my eyes away from that temptation of the devil and now here again... must writing this.

Will these never cease? Another temptation runs through my head, should I write this later and watch that new episode of "Accidentally on purpose"? Ah, choices, choices and choices. At this moment I want to pray, "Oh Lord, lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil." But I won't.

Is it just me, or is my headache getting more serious. Perhaps my eyes are getting tired with staring at this screen for the past... uncountable number of hours. Maybe I should write this later on, maybe tomorrow morning.

Oh, but wait, I have not checked orkut today! So I must rush there to check the messages and stuffs.
That was fun, I replied to a few messages, and I am back here again. But wait, an invitation to read a new blog, how nice... give me two minutes...

...
That was much more than two minutes. Perhaps I should not have written the comment, but how could I have resisted when it was so blatantly wrong! And it was not a good thing that all while I was getting distracted by million other things as well!

Ah, before I could be interrupted again, I shall end my internal monologue here. Now... should I read that book or should I watch that episode. Choices, choices, choices.
