Hey look over there!

I think like everyone else in the entire world it is easy to let distractions distract ones self from the task at hand and consume one's time and thoughts, hence the definition being: a thing that prevents one from giving full attention to something else. But in my state of job-hunting and slowly watching my meager bank account deplete even more, these distractions are almost a bliss to me, my own escape into something undaunting and just plain unimportant. Especially in a time where every decision seems life or death, every action must be judged, and every minute is priceless, it is my glimpse of heaven when I let my mind wander and escape into something so consuming. A good, thorough distraction is sometimes hard to come by though. These days its starting to become harder and harder to completely loose sight of the thought of potential failure that seems to have its jaws locked around the hem of my slacks. It used to be easier to ignore because it started as a small dog, something of the toy variety and has since grown into something like a terrier. I can feel it starting to achieve pit bullish status and I can honestly say I am a little bit afraid. But I guess putting your hope into something so fleeting and flimsy is never a good idea. So focus is going to be my key word today, this week, this month, and this year. Focus on the task at hand, not a distraction. And when I feel these distractions coming on I'll just show them the ferocious rottweiler that will soon be growling at my ankles and it'll turn tail and run.
