Mind Like A Steel Trap... or A Wet Waffle?

I don't think I am rocking anyone's world when I say we live in a fast-paced, multitasking, get more done in less time world. Every new form of technology that is first sold as "making things easier" or "providing flexibility" seems to inevitably create a new way for work and the world to follow you pretty much everywhere (and yes, I'm talking to all of you Crackberry users who need information hits like heroin junkies). Personally, I find all of this to be a real brain drain for me. Now, some people chalk this up to getting older (and have you ever noticed people chalk a lot of things up to getting older?) and I don't buy it. Not at age 35 anyway.

I think it's an unfortunate consequence of trying to do so many things at once that I've found myself being pretty bad at focusing on just doing one thing at a time. It's like a fuzz has built up on my brain. OK, think of it this way: Imagine you just ate about four Krispy Kreme doughnuts and the sugar crash is beginning to kick in. Then, you turn on those God-awful presidential debates and try to figure out what the hell any of them are talking about since they all lack the ability to answer any question directly. Got that image? Yeah, that's how I was feeling for a bit. Just... muddled.

To combat that, I picked up for myself a nice little Nintendo DS Lite with the game Brain Age 2. So, instead of me rambling endlessly with more written words, you can enjoy my rambling in video format. Seriously, how much better did your life just become?

Oh and my apologies for the lighting in the video. I am still a bit new to this kind of thing so the production values are a wee bit on the low end of the spectrum. Mea culpa.
