The Art of Excusing

Truly, we never run out of excuses to sit down and think rigorously. I can't write now. I can write now because I still have backlogs, or an early gig tomorrow, work later, running behind on chores and responsibilities, running behind on running.

Because of these and similar threads in our stories, our thought-processes are slowly being grinded into bite-sized pieces of new media such as tweets and status messages. It's no wonder how nowadays people can only afford a short attention span. It's also no surprise that nowadays people (or people like me) begin to think in bullets, instead of metaphors or figures of speech.

And for now, since I can't afford genuine thought, what I have are these generalizations and excuses. At least you can't fit this in a tweet.
