Focus!

Edited:

Hi, Scrappers. Did you come here for anything in particular?

I have lost focus, people. I’m getting sucked in like shit down a toilet. I am supposed to be learning some great stuff and getting a degree so I can start my own business so I can make enough money to buy some acreage and stay home with the munchkin. (How’s that for a run on?) But noooo. I keep finding interesting Internet drama to keep me from the learning. Ok, well, it might not be interesting to you, but I love a good soap opera. Ya know?^*

And really, why would anyone think that a blog on a public domain is actually private and shouldn’t be visited by anyone unless those anyone’s are invited? HUH? Isn’t the point of writing on a public domain, with public access, having blogs listed in Technorati and leaving comments that include links back to our own spot to bring people to our blogs? Private blogs keep the public out. Otherwise, no invitation needed. You know? I read a blog not too long ago that didn’t allow comments, for whatever reason, but they wanted people to mail in responses to their posts. Why? What the hell are people thinking? I don’t get it.

Then today I was doing my weekly project for Web Tech and don’t you know, the book was wrong about something this time. Honestly, it made me want to cry. How am I supposed to learn? Huh? Then I found out the book wasn’t necessarily wrong, it was just giving us depreciated tags- again. I emailed Prof but haven’t heard back. I’m sure he’s blocked my email addy. I wouldn’t even bother with this fucked up class if I didn’t need it for my degree. Really. I’m so annoyed with it that I can’t even find anything fun about it. What the fuck is up with that shit?

So, as I was cleaning up yet another dog/kid mess I realized that I need to get back on the fucking ball. I need to keep my eyes on the prize and all those other clichés that I can’t think of right now. Politics is a little dry for me and Internet noobs are funny, but not productive. I’ve lost focus and must get it back, people! How do I do that? Only one way. Get off the ‘Net. Close my browser. Get back to the books.

I’m taking a break for the next week. I will do whatever I can to stay offline for that long (except for research purposes and to work). I’m going to plug my nose, close my eyes, and hope this works.
Focus, focus, focus… I’m on a mission here and I’ve got to get back on track.

Feel free to take over my comment areas, though. I don’t mind.
