Super cool things done when attention spans wane

Many interruptions can lead to a low attention span, so I’m trying to see if I can offset the high number of interruptions I’m experiencing by paying better attention.

It could work, right, because stranger things have happened.

But who locks themselves in a room so they can go on the Internet uninterrupted?

Isn’t the Internet the most extraordinary interruption, disruption, and low attention span creating invention of all time?

I better embrace distraction fully by finally going all-in on the Internet–by way of saying I’m signing up for it.

Remember when you had to sign up for stuff? Petitions come to mind.

A petition to become more confused by using the Internet regularly also comes to mind.

It’s been years coming, I’ve avoided it so far to date, but now it’s time to see if I should be spending more time on the Internet.

Nah, the answer to that is no. I will not be spending more time on the Internet, as my focus drifts from one thing to the next without having the digital space contributing to my increased lack of attention span.

I like other things besides the Internet, such as lamps that attract mosquitoes and zap them into non-existence.

Ironically, I do not own an actual electric bug zapper, but I do have a lamp right next to me sporting halogen bulbs that do the job equally as nicely.

Mosquitoes like me too much, so much so that even in winter, I can get bit by one that is somehow still alive in cold weather–the proverbial bug on steroids.

Shifting gears

I remember when the word “cool” was adequate and didn’t get used as commonly as today.

The word “cool” has been used for going on decades.

However, the trend of saying, “Super cool” bugs me as much as mosquitoes in winter, which is quite a lot.

Cool has worked well on its own.

Super cool somehow diminishes cool in my view.

I saw a headline on a story about Super Cool Plants.

We should not describe plants as super cool unless they wrap themselves around swarms of mosquitoes in either summer or winter.

Plants should also not be described as super cool unless they wrap around said swarms like a boa constrictor and its victim (until the super cool plant squeezes the object of its desire into total submission).

I think a plant on the old Addams Family show did something along the lines of occasionally wrapping itself around objects, but I digress.

The 400 Mark

Many blog posts’ quality becomes outstanding once the reader or writer reaches the 400-word point.

The 400 Mark is a critical time for blog sites like this that feature on average 500-word posts.

It’s just interesting to just me, maybe.

But, I’ve found when reading other blogs, I tend to lose interest at the 500-word point and often opt to go on to something else.

I typically finish reading books, but unless blog posts interest me, I can quickly stop in midstream and go to the following article whose interruption of a headline piques my interest.

And now we’re at the 500-word mark, actually just a little bit over, so you know what this means:

The End.
