i was elluding to the amount of "shinys" (distractions) in modern life these days. it makes it hard to concentrate on singular goals.
shinys arn't exactly just trivial distractions, they are things that just come up. in particular i'm talking about things that you'd like to just drop everything and get involved in. this is all good and well, everyone needs shinys to chase, but it's a problem when shinys are popping up all the time. you can go from shiny to shiny like some attention deficit butterfly, never accomplishing anything.
i bet a few centuries ago great novelists didn't have to put up with this. shinys didn't grow on trees, they were starved for them and had to go out and find their own shinys, search hard for them.
thesedays shinys are everywhere, we are bombarded with them.

I'm sure they did. Read some of thier personal writings and you will see. Life "back then" had its own share of distractions. They were different is all. Women. for example, have ALWAYS been a distraction/"shiny" thing.

i envy their different, lower quality shinys (and less of them). news wasn't shoved in your face back then, you had to listen to the breeze. thesedays it's all "OMG SHINYSHINY HERE HAVE SHINY I HAVE MORE OMG YOU MUST TAKE MY SHINY IT'S THE BEST TAKE TAKE!@!@ HOW CAN YOU THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE WHILE CONFRONTED WITH SUCH IMACULATE SHINYNESS"Duper wrote:roid wrote: i bet a few centuries ago great novelists didn't have to put up with this. shinys didn't grow on trees, they were starved for them and had to go out and find their own shinys, search hard for them.

Welcome to 21st Century advertising. This is where self-dicipline comes into practice. We have to bear in mind what is emotional and what is factual.
Just remember: That no matter how many millions of dollars you spend on advertising at the Super Bowl, It's Still Just Beer.
I think it's ludicus that a carbonated alcholic drink is promoted as something bigger than life. .pppth.
and most is mediocure at best.

i'm not actually talking about purchasable products.
i'm talking about things that keep your interest in the news. ie: for me, new technologys. you can just read about something, and it's so cool that you must know more, and then you can read and read and read, soaking it all up... then something else comes along, that you must equally "find out everything about it" coz it's ramifications for the future are so exciting.
so shiny.
and always just as exciting as the last shiny.
also shiny things i can't help but "GWAAAAAAH *drool-drool*" over are interesting and ever emerging personal (well, & profesional of course) theorys of psychology and sociology that people have.
some may call what i have here (from my perceptions), a personal heaven... but it's not, it's overstimulating.
