the oddity of multitasking...

i must have always had an adhd prone personality... or at least an abstract immersionist... yeah, don't ask... this of course is a good thing for someone who is supposed to be doing a billion different thing all at once... which ironically is what i do everyday... go figure that one... but... and this one is a big but... there are drawbacks... you see i can't just enjoy myself with doing one thing at home... i mean right now, (hey it's your tomorrow!) i am writing this blog (duh!), playing a game of mahjong solitaire (ugh! addictions suck!), found the song i've just heard on the show 'dead like me,' which leads me to the obvious one which is watching the show 'dead like me' that my tivo record for me... such a nice little fellow for doing that i know... and now, the song 'right now' by van halen popped in my head because i said right now, so i had to look up an appropriate lyric to put after the phrase "right now," but ultimately just went with what i thought of orginally... now, i'm looking up the lyrics to 'boom boom ba' by métisse which is what the song was called... oh, and hey, i just remember to try to download the song 'mad world' by gary jules... you get the point... i'm all over the freakin' place... and enjoying it... so, when i go and do something that's supposed to be immersion into another world, such as reading or playing a video game, i get bored... this had lead to some strange mental associations... indulge me just a little further... i'm a great fan of the myst series... for those who went to dragoncon this past week, you can skip this part... for the rest of you, these are games where you immerse yourself into another universe... the graphics, music, and general terrain of the game is well... just play it, damn it! it's amazing... but travis can't just play the game... no, when 'riven the sequel to myst' came out, i had to have the tv on... and on the tv was 'petticoat junction!' tvland was the bomb back in the day... so, i will forever link 'riven' to 'petticoat junction.' to find this the least bit amusing, you have to know about both... sorry... look it... the other, nine inch nails... yes... nine inch nails... hey, i saw you slap your forehead there in anticipation of something even crazier than 'petticoat junction!' anyway, i will forever associate nine inch nail's 'the downward spiral' with 'the cronical of narnia' the book series... yes, i used to read... a lot... yeah, that was my reaction when i realized that those two are linked in my head... crazy... so, it is my blessing... it is my curse... but i wouldn't have it any other way... unless i got on some good prescription drugs... hehe...
