Short Term Memory

I have something confess. Mind you, this will be the first in a litany of rather over-exxagerated confessions. Which brings me to my first confession. I suffer from short term memory. I could be in the middle of an intense thought when I'm immediately distracted by another. It's a constant battle of which one is going to win my static attention. More often than not, they all win, which is why when I'm listening to somone speak to me, I only absorb 50% of what is coming out of their mouth. And what I do absorb, is usually immediately forgotten or filed away for future purposes. So while my mind is going 100MPH trying to decide which thoughts I'm actually going to process, whatever information I do absorb becomes a short-lived visitor.

Which brings me to the reason why I wrote this. It's not that I'm not listening to you (well, partly). It's more of well, I can't hear you. Too much going on up there, mostly non-sense.
