Whirling Dervish.

I've been unemployed lately, and so I've had the chance to watch myself go against no imaginary structure whatsoever. And having been more aware of my AD/HD lately, I thought I'd make a quick post listing some of the rapid cycling 'phases' or 'obsessions' I've gone through in the past six weeks (off the top of my head of course):

• Writing a series of science fiction films.
• Writing a sitcom series.
• Python programming.
• Front end and back end website design.
• Blogging.
• C programming.
• Assembly programming.
• Hacking and reverse engineering.
• Mobile phone application development.
• Augmented reality software and hardware.
• Teaching English in other countries.
• Stand-up comedy.
• Cooking.
• Writing short films.
• Lighting for cameras.
• Photography with models (recently recurring).
• Shooting things in HDV.
• Sound mixing.
• Job hunting (this one has been the most consistent, but it ties in with most of the others).
• AD/HD itself (recurring). 
• AD/HD treatments (recurring).
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
• The share market.
• Iaido and Japanese swords (semi-recurring).
• Martial arts and self defense.
• Zen (frequently recurring).
• Writing in general.
• Symbian S60 3rd Edition.
• Fedora Linux (Ubuntu seemed too mainstream...)
• Reading.
• Watching British sitcoms.
• Postmodernist anime (thats a new one).
• Acting.
• I'm too tired to continue...

What's interesting is that if I were employed, the list probably wouldn't be that much shorter. What's also interesting is that I have fragments of tangible things I've got from each item of the list except for two. Lately I haven't really been hyperfocusing on anything for longer than a day or so. I guess that might have something to do with stress from money and family and so on. And my medication needs to be re-calibrated.

I've read at least one reference book cover to cover on most of the topics I've listed. Mostly titles from the For Dummies series (by the way, C All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies is one of the best computer reference books I've ever half-read. My girlfriend is actually putting the effort in to make me finish it.)

Well, I suppose the AD/HD stuff has been the consistent thing lately. Its a shame I can't get a job for that. Maybe I should go sign up for a psychology course...
