Blame A.D.D.

July 31, 2007

Since a lot of parents are so quick to take the easy, lazy way out, I'm going to blame the lack of organization in my life on A.D.D. I've always had issues focusing on the many things in my life like finances, clothes, my schedule, friends, etc. Basically, I'm always a mess.

But it can't be real A.D.D. because I'm so good at focusing on one thing, that I forget about all the other things. It's always all or nothing with whatever my current passion is. If my passion is a particular girl, I lose focus everywhere else; my friends suffer, I forget to pay bills, etc. Crazy, eh? It's like "reverse A.D.D." or something. I focus so much one one thing, I lose focus in the long run.

I guess this "reverse A.D.D." makes me special. People should work around me. If I fail in life, my job, etc it's got to be because people aren't give me the "right" opportunities. That's right! They're holding me back!

I don't need to conform to the world's need for schedules and organization. I should be deemed "special" or something. I should get equal opportunities because it's only fair. Regardless to whether I'm lazy or never learned how to organize myself. It can't be my fault.

Yeah! And you know what?!? We should start a law that could be called "No Adult Left Behind." Then when I forget to pay a bill or show up for work (or worse: just not do my work) I can get a pat on the back and my boss can say, "that's ok Mark, at least you're here. You're special!" With a nice grin. Because, after all...the world isn't about survival of the fittest. It's not about competition. It's about everyone, regardless of skills, disabilities, race, etc. getting an equal playing field and a pre-determined excuse for when things don't work out when they don't try or improve.

Then I'll feel like I belong!
