Some Thoughts
I grew up on an island. No mall, one movie at the movie theater, 12 TV channels (10 of them sucked), no internet until I was 15-ish. And I am one of the only people I know who can be bored without being frustrated by it! I get so focused when I read that often my name is the only thing that will break me out.

I can’t talk on my cell phone and walk at the same time.

And I read this article while I was supposed to be working.

Ironic!
