ADD: misery and laughter combined

picked up a book a while back: answers to ADD.

Attention Deficit Disorder. Never knew I was so, sooo identifiable to this disorder. Mummy!! I'm klazey!! laaa, no wonder la this blog's named lost man... I'm so lost sometimes you know?

I don't really know if you can call this a disease. After all, it's only popular in the US. The Europeans don't seem to think the disorder exists. Yet so many people can identify to its simptoms.

Extremely forgetful, absent-minded, day-dreaming, unable to complete jobs and jumping from one job to another, are just a few of the things these dudes go through. You don't know how painful these experiences can be until you're and ADDer yourself. Imagine screwing something up day in and day out.

Then again, as with all mental disorders, there are also good things. Sensitivity, flexibility, loyalty (to wife hehe :) ) creativity, and increased intuition are among a few.

Tho I'm not officially diagnosed with the thing yet, I find I can find my way when I'm lost just by relying on my gut feel. Ah, my gut says turn left... ok, now right... then left again... now it's saying stop at that McDonald's, fill me up and ask for directions. haha!! But seriously dude, when it really happens, it's so cool tho.

More on this later. chiao
