My horse is amazing, performs like a fucking champion...only when he's interested in the task.

Otherwise my horse is a real ass.

This sounds like me to a T. If there is something I TRULY want to work on, I will be laser focused, but otherwise my brain is all over the place. No wonder I always have 8 instances of chrome open at a time with 40 tabs each. When I go back through them I just think to myself, how the fuck did I get from landscaping to the best southern bbq rib rub.

Maybe I should go see a doctor and get something for this. I always just feel like I'll be dismissed rather than have the doctor actually consider I may actually have ADHD.

I couldn't focus worth a shit in university unless it was a subject I cared about. I leave work until the last minute even though I know better than that by now (I'm 35 now). And I can't sit down and read a book because 10 pages in I realize I haven't been paying attention to the book because my mind is elsewhere but my eyes just kept on going.

I realize this isn't your point, but let me see...

Landscaping > Lawn Care > Lawn Furniture > Grills > Best Grilling Techniques > Best BBQ Rub > Best Southern BBQ Rub

That said, I tried that out because I'm the same way. Don't get me started on Wikipedia...

LOL.......yeah that seems about how that went. I also took a detour in there on how to try and fix my car door and how to get a good solid TIG weld upside down.
