Hyperactive

Ever since I grew up and actually started actively "dating" here in Chicago (if you call drinking at bars/houses/parks, "dates"), I have noticed many things.

Beyond the obvious, such as all the good ones are taken and almost everyone here is from Michigan and thus knows everyone else, I have discovered something that most men share in common.
It's an epidemic, really.

If you can find a man between the ages of 19 and 35 in this city that does not actively have ADD or ADHD, then I will give you $5 (hey, it's tough times and all that.)


I'm starting to believe that the government put something in the water back in the day because every boy I am meeting has major issues with ADD. And usually, they are not on any pills and believe that marijuana is the answer. And this is why so many 20's year olds are potheads. Obviously.

Or perhaps, video games are to blame. Video games came out right around when these boys were growing up. With that much flashing lights who knows what it did to their heads. I mean shit, Pac-Man is trippy as fuck!

All I know is that when I look back at not only my dating history, but my messing around history, a good 70% of the boys were unfocused potheads. And maybe the others were hiding it. They probably were or I just didn't know them long enough to find out.

And my family wonders why I haven't found a nice boy to settle down with.
And my friends wonder why I would rather use them and lose them.

It's because I end up being a babysitter or turning into my mother when I spend too much time with these schizoids.

But the search will continue.
But I guess maybe I'm a bit ADD.
Since I honestly don't want to settle down.
But I use alcohol, not pot, to help my "illness."
