Distractions...I've had a few

It has been a long while since I last posted anything on here. Sure, I have busy, but that is such a terrible excuse for lack of work. In all honesty, I have frequently, much too frequently than I care to, succumbed to the seductive trance of everyday distractions. My whole world seems filled with them. It is brimming at the edge with one distraction after another. It is so hard to pull myself from their call. First, there is my phone, and then the computer, television, my bass, my CD's, books. It seems that wherever I go, there is some sort of distraction calling my name, like a child calling out for his lost puppy, and I just can't seem to shake it. Maybe it is a kind of addiction to the technological advance that have supposedly enhanced our lives. Like most addictions, the first step in recovery is to admit that you have a problem. The next step is to deal with it. That is what I have chosen to do. No more television. No more mindless surfing of random pages on my smartphone. No more suckling on election coverage. No more distractions. I have got to get back to me. I have got to return to that happy little center devoid of the technological temptress. I have got to get back to living my life.
