Seriously, it's a distraction and annoying. Sure, the ads pay for this site and keep it running, but it's a nuisance to be advertised to when I am not interested.

Since this is my first blog, I figured I would write raw, without constraint. If I jump around and discuss different topics it's because my mind is swirling with thoughts all over the spectrum and I have a hard time focusing on one issue. Maybe, the process of blogging will allow me to sort through the myriad of thoughts and ideas and help me to focus on one idea at a time.

As I type, I am distracted by the little smiley faces expressing emotions on the right side and the "ask a psychiatrist" banner on the left. I guess, I'll have to get used to it if I plan to continue blogging.
