.: I lack focus.
This is no surprise to me, and probably not to anyone else who has spent more than fifteen minutes with me. But every so often, something gives me a little smack on my bearded cheek to remind me of this. Today, it's Raisin Bran.
My dear friend SleepJunky has recently written a post on the subject (well, the post wasn't so much about the raisin bran but read it for yourself, I linked it), not of substantial length or anything. Not an essay, but a blog post. And this post (like most of her posts) is pretty much what one should expect from a blog post about the pop culture of life in America in 2008 (this is a compliment, by the way. Reading that sentence over, I thought it could be taken that way, but I won't change it, because I think that SleepJunky will see it as such).
And they make me a little jealous, because she can do something I seem to have forgotten to even try to do, and that's write a short post about something that's focused enough to be considered a 'piece' of sorts. And (still complimenting) it's about a focused event in the day of SleepJunky. Whether it's about her father and the Raisin Bran, or holding her friends car–as well as her own shoe–together with duct tape, she manages to write a few paragraphs on a subject and stick to it.
I ramble. And bounce. To the point that I even devised for myself (without realizing what I was really doing) a symbol to mark the random switch-up from one topic to another in my posts.
.:If you see the 'dot-colon' at the begining of this paragraph, you should know that I've changed gears. But not really at this time. I was just demonstrating my point.
So that's a new goal for AngryBob for March. A post a day that isn't a rambling mess of coulda woulda shoulda. A short period of time in which I will remain focused on something long enough to say something substantial, rather than just making excuses for why the new Jedi Jesus strip isn't finished and why I haven't released the ill-literates WordPress theme yet.
.:Jedi Jesus should be done by wednesday.
.:Ill-Literates theme friday, if I have the time to pound a little more code to clean it up.
.:Shit. I did it again.

Eh! How can I live up to the pressure now? I read this actually after I wrote Day 61 in which I muddled the central theme…Sometimes, though, there just isn’t a theme. and I think there’s something in that, too. If you know what i mean? I think I know what I meant but as I reread this, I’m not certain anymore…
Anywho, I’m just honored you read my blog.
