In search of direction

Am I the only one, or are the seasons in our lives when we simply have too many things to do and can't seem to focus on getting that list started? I must say this is one of those times in my life when focus seems a bit blurry, like my eyes in the morning. I have searched through other blogs for over an hour now, thought about getting my lesson started, and then had a miserable time remembering where in the world I go to begin typing. Such is the life of a teacher who is used to driving in the fast lane, but has a different road to travel in the summer.
I found it a bit creepy when I went to Google reader, only to find it had so much information of my own in it already. I checked my slow-working mental file, trying to remember if I had been on it before, but certainly think it is simply a reflection of technology and how interlinked it is, even before we give it permission! I am stalked by computer chips all over the world! If only that made me feel popular instead of back in eighth grade when Elmer would call me and tell me how much he loved me and that he would die if I didn't want to go out with him. Since we didn't drive, and there was NO WAY I would even want my parents to take me to him, I assumed we were to meet at the playground? Yes, those computer chips are already at the swing set, pumping their legs high, seeing me way off in the distance. I'm trying to get to the park, Chip! Just don't tell Elmer!
Onto other issues at hand. While I have let the rumor go for more than a week now, and allowed your assumptions to entertain me, I must finally fess up to all of you. It is not me on the drums! You could hear me play, and on a good day I might get a beat going, I wouldn't likely be someone you would ever go see in concert. I'll leave the who in the picture as a secret but thank you sincerely for giving me so much joy as you allowed me to be thought of as someone so young!
Now that I have diverted yet again from the assignment, I will press on and be obedient with the task at hand. To those who return to read this, I thank you!
