Lately I've noticed myself to be quite the scatter-brain. My attention span has shrunk from the size of jean pocket lint to the size of a Luna Bar crumb. (Huh?) I'd be engrossed in conversation and then 4 minutes later I find myself with no idea about what is going on and what has been said. I can't complete my thoughts...hell, I can hardly complete my sentences. Shoot...it's taken me 10 minutes (!) to write this much of this entry! This is ridiculous! I don't like it one bit. When I drive, I end up taking the scenic route because I keep missing my turns. And this past weekend I ran a red light! What? How does that happen? I just completely ran the light. It wasn't yellow, almost red...it was solid red. Although it's a usually busy intersection, I was lucky...extremely lucky...that at that moment, it was not its usual hustle-bustle. I think I've just got way too much on my mind. But about what? Everything. I don't know why but just lately I've been thinking way too much about everything: how I'm never going to finish my holiday shopping, how I need to start running again, what I am going to do with my life, what is important to me, what is the meaning of life...you know, simple things like that. I don't know why I'm letting all this heaviness in...letting it all weigh down on me, but for some reason, it is. And it's making me the most flighty person this holiday season.

We all remain focu... what was I saying. Ah, forget it. I'm not going to finish this... i've got a suicide scheduled for three o'clock.
