Lack of concentration
It's not that weird for me to lack focus, but lately I've been seeing it get in the way at work. I got's tons of stuff to do, yet I can't just put my nose to the grind stone and get anything done in a timely manner. Maybe I need a real vacation.
I figure these are the factors contributing to my problem:
- Too much caffeine...must..stop...coffee...consumption
- Not enough caffeine...must...have...coffee
- Not enough sleep
- Not enough relaxation
- I need to get into some reading (haven't touched a book in months!). Luckily some good books are coming out (most importantly, the new G.R.R.M. novel). The last three books I've read were by this dude, and they were all so good (probably some of the best books I've ever read) that it's hard to keep interest when I start reading anything else that pales in comparison.
- I've been doing a lot of fun stuff in my free time, which leaves me feeling void of just laying around and doing nothing. Maybe this weekend I'll drive out to the beach, crack open a book, and just max and relax on my own (since Niki will be on her road trip)
- I've felt musically unsatisfied for a while now too. Going on pitchfork reviews just doesn't cut it. Yesterday I met with some folks at KDVS, and I'm hoping to get a show sometime (either fall or winter quarter). Back when I used to hang out down there, I used to just go through the new arrivals and pull out random stuff to listen to, or check out older stuff that I'd "heard of" but never "heard". I miss those days.
On another note. I saw Rize last night. It was really good and interesting, yet about 15 minutes too long (a lot of random filler at the end). So here is the deal: Krumping stems from Clowning...two different things (but not that different). The main highlight of the movie was the Clowns vs. Kumpers competition. I'm terrible at writing reviews, so click the link or just go see it.
Thirdly. I can't get "The Oldest Dude In The World" out of my head. I'm holding out for the second pressing of Sweet Sounds. For the time being I'm going to make this mp3 my new ring-tone (and anthem).

the whole 'having too much fun' thing happens to me in the summer. i seriously need a four or five day stretch with nothing to do. but i can't pass up activities which hold memory-making promises. i probably shouldn't be going to the desert this weekend but i've already promised a bunch of folks i'd be there. i totally agree with you on the doing nothing front. maybe we should institute a national do nothing day.
oh yeah. and now I just read my comments on my post about "krumping" and I see Becky had already laid it out to me.

Here's the deal, if you're wearing clown makeup you're clownin'. If you're dancing in that style with no silly makeup then you're krumpin'. And yes I am down with the kids I read about this in the NY Times sunday magazine. That's where the kids get all their information. Peace out, yo (that's me using the hot slang)
