I'm distracted lately. I knew I would be, when I treated myself to Christmas with an Xbox360. Like for instance, right now. I'm making myself write this entry. I'm thinking very much about some virtual violence right about now. But, instead I'm trying to regain some sort of discipline to sit down and continue writing, instead of falling into a non-stop distraction. I guess it really is about self-discipline. Which, at times I tend to have a bit of, others not so much. But, I suppose that's everyone since all of us face similar temptations in this mad media-saturated century. Distractions are prevalanet.
This is an age of distraction, a golden age of man. An age set to implode upon, or be exploded by from unknown forces at any moment. However, it is apparent that we have had to recover from global catastrophes in the past. When mankind likely was at a comparable level of civilization, with a different set of distractions, but all of the same problems of human nature.
I began this blog a few years back to get myself writing on a regular basis. But, it's been greatly hit and miss, often at fulfilling that initial function since I've updated it so sporadic. Not sure whyy that is, just that I've been on a writing hiatus for a couple of years now. Not creating much of anything more than a random scribbling in a notebook I keep, or a scrap of a dream I might have woke up and wanted to remember.
I knew when I finally bought the Xbox360 that it would be another distraction for me on many levels from getting this piece of fiction I've been trying to finish. But, here I am today writing random rants in here. Trying to get warmed up so I can continue the story of Ken Phalanx.
