Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor Skate Expectations So I come home to my beloved TiVo after hosting Adult Trivia into the wee hours of another Atlanta night to find some Colbert comedy awaiting me.  Look, Stephen Colbert and Jon  Stewart ARE FUNNY.  I love them and always have.  But the masses assume that they are smart enough to be the news authorities.  Often, they are no more correct than those they mock.  True, recent weather doesn't disprove the trend showing global warming. Also true is that this "trend" does not prove man has anything to do with BILLIONS of years of weather cycles on Earth.  Show me in 50,000 years who was right and who was wrong.     Now, let us talk about the very real crisis of Global Pollution without that marketable label of "Man-Made Global Warming."  Al Gore and the like are just as greedy capitalist-minded but their industry will be "green" dollars so it is moral and just (insert question mark here please)

It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy

It is rather mind boggling when you are told by a therapist, (we will call him Therapist 6), that he has determined you to be both OCD and ADHD. Combined. Like that works. Apparently, it does. This means that I am easily distracted but when I do find myself focused on something usually meaningless, I can hone in on it like dog on his favorite leg.

After years of living with this knowledge, I believe I am no more in control of it than when I found out.  How often does one need to repeat himself in conversation just to make sure that he framed his point in exactly the right way...even after he did a fairly decent presentation the  first time?  Typically, I find that the number of  repeated conversations also seem to coincide with the ounces of alcohol consumed beforehand.  But, no matter, it is just one little example of my apparent OCD.  It is not on par with Nicholson in "As Good As It Gets", but it is rather annoying just the same. 

As for Adult ADHD, well now that is as commonplace these days as owning an iPod.  Therefore, I feel rather accepted and natural with this bit of diagnosis.  Besides, I find that I am so easily distracted these days that...that...well, that I have restarted this post three times between watching LOST on Hulu and checking on my crops in Farmville!

So, as I chronicle my ridonkulous exploits, just remember the seven letters that create most of my behavioral patterns. O-C-D...A-D... ehh the rest of it
