I had the most relaxing weekend ever. I took my dog to the park, played some records, went rock climbing, caught up on some cleaning, it was great. Most of my days off consist of running around, seeing everyone I promised to see that week, and getting shit done. So needless to say it was nice to sleep in and relax for a change.

This week is going to be quite hectic however. I have to record yet another set for my CD. I have a friend coming to visit for the week so I'll have to entertain him. I have to pick up my new headphones. I'm playing a radio show on Saturday morning at 2:00am on CHRW 94.9FM. Then after I go home and have a nap, I'm going to Toronto for the rest of the weekend.

I prefer my life to be busy, otherwise I think I'd be really boring.

Climbing is my summer sport. Snowboarding season is just around the corner! YAY!

Personal Need #9 - Keeping busy

Because of the type of person I am, I need to be constantly occupied. Not only do I need to be occupied, I need to be doing something fun, interesting, even worthwhile. I get bored very easily doing things that require little to no physical activity like watching TV. I always need to be doing something hands on. I can do the occasional movie, but even then I get fidgety and am always moving around during the film.

Along with this I find I am only able to concentrate on one thing at a time. This is how Ray explains my condition:

"When Wendy Law is on the decks, you could be trying to call her name four or five times and you get no response. Then, out of the blue, four or five minutes later, once she's processed that she's heard something earlier, she'll be like 'What?'"

All the more reason to believe I've developed a condition called 'Adult ADD'....

Complete and utter concentration on the task at hand. Nothing else matters.
