concentration

[Blue]

I really does sound like ADD or ADHD. I have it too, I will be reading and it ends up in my brain something like:

The rebuilding of New Orelans was going well, business and homeowners were [hmm, should I work on my boat, or my new gun shop, or maybe go get a pizza. Hey I could....] with the arrival of Hurricane [oh, I need to do a quest in my game, or check the forums.] but today, New Orleans {[oh, interesting new topic on GaySpeak.]

And by morning that article will be nothing but "blah, blah, blahbitty, blah." in my brain.

Now get me in my playroom, discussing things I know or care about, playing a game I am into, etc... and I'm the most focused person you've probably ever known. And I am a fantastic mufti tasker that will remember every detail when there are two or more things that interest me going on at once. Like now, I am focused on interesting topics here and, the coverage of Hurricane Isaac. I am interested in this forum and, that hurricane that will probably be hitting my home around noon to 6 pm tomorrow.

That's how ADD/ADHD works, if it doesn't interest us, our minds go off to the million or so things we can think of that do interest us but, if it interests us, we are there 150%.
