The things I want to know are in BOOKS.

I am loosing all of my creativity. I no longer draw, I no longer write and most of all, I no longer read. I spend my time online looking for pictures of cats with poor grammar. I spend my time watching my friend’s videos on vimeo. I spend my time obsessively checking the dashboard of my tumblr. Tonight I tried to sit down and read some Vonnegut but I couldn’t. Tumblr has shorted my attention span when it comes to reading text to the point where I can no longer read novels. I have yet to finish the last Harry Potter even though I am 150 pages in. That is absolute insanity. I mean, seriously, that is INSANE. In college I was a double major (English and Communications, which both had a ridiculous reading load), took 18-20 credits a semester and I worked 25-30 hours a week and I STILL managed to read one novel of my choice per WEEK for pleasure. It’s 1:00 am and I am sitting here tumbling and Vonnegut is sitting next to me face down open to page four because my attention span is so small I can’t get to page five and I am freaking out. Did you make it to the end of this tumble? If so, congratulations. If someone posted something this long I would not have the patience to read it. kthxbai.
