Focus

The average attention span of a human is only 8.25 seconds. That's less than the goldfish's 9 second attention span!
If thats true, I just posted the first thing presented to me... that agreed with what I was about to post about, so I could pervasively persuade you?
Im a victim of this lack of focus, and it got so bad that I have been fighting back. My generation is a hybrid of this newschool , digitalized era of "flash focusing" ( i just coined that phrase...) Before my generation, the highlight of entertainment was to roll a fatty and put on a record... and listen to it , not just in completion, but until the vinyl grooves wore the fuck out. I had a discman, and a collection of cds, that I had to keep hidden... while i backpacked my skateboard around riding a BMX bike...
It was the IPOD! that ruined listening to an album. our favorite mixes took over listening to an entire cd... I produced mix tape style cds with the Napster...
I dont remember the first time i stared at my phone, and im thinking hard about it right now... i guess it would have been the first time i downloaded instagram. before that, we didnt have smart phones with apps, it was just a phone, or a walkie talkie.
the idea of watching a clip of skiing on insta verse an entire efforts worth of an edit on NS is gone. Even when im watching top rated videos, on my computer!, im usually distracted by something... so if its a kids 60 view edit video, it probably doesnt stand a chance of more than 10 seconds of absolute attention payings.
so there you sit on the NS app, with tiktok flashing clips faster than you can comprehend, waiting to flush the toilet... lol

With all that brainrot spewed... I have been fighting back...

I have a collection of really good cds, worth listening to in completion, and when i drive, i pay attention to the road with no phone distractions... and enjoy the ride with good tunes and scenery. no stop and go traffic; billboards...
I write this, with the blizzard of ahhhhss in the background, mostly to keep my stoke factor at the highest level, but I should have turned it off and enjoyed writing this even more... my dog needed some attention, and is now sleeping soundly in her bed, so no matter what, im potentially always distracted by her well being. when i finish this post, i will reset, and pick a really good movie to focus on and enjoy in its entirety without distractions of ebay, FB, CL, insta; any digital distractions.

Maybe , just maybe, Ill read a book, or play my guitar tonight...

(nah, this wasnt bus stop jargon...)
