ADD- Attention Deficit Disorder (aka THE LAWLZ OF HUMANITY)
Many people tend to think of those who have this "Disorder" as being stupid, hyper, annoying idiots who can't sit down for a moment and are sedated with medication to be lulled into a state of "Normalcy". But to those who have it, or know a loved one who "suffers" from it, they know that this stereotype, is indeed, only an empty stereotype.
Most people who have ADD are just normal people that have different ways of thinking, interperating their surroundings and interacting with their environments. It's not a bad thing at all, but it can be hell to put up with, if the person cannot channel their thoughts properly and are too quick to act without thinking things through.
The mind in the person that has ADD moves so much faster then the average person, but we have trouble grasping what it is we're thinking without a little bit of time to figure out what the hell just went through our heads. It's like a tv that is constantly changing channels and we have little control over what we want to watch because it keeps on changing at a rapid pace. But with this rate of change and proper control over it, their minds become a gold mine of creativity and ideas because of this different way of thinking.
I wish to demonstrate what it's like to be a musician with this so called "Disorder" and bring you into my world of rapidly changing melodies and show you that even a person with ADD can become so much more then what a silly stereotype will tell you.
So listen and feel.

I don't think that any stereotypes are really 100% true. I have a friend who has ADD. She actually seems pretty normal (by my standards) most of the time but can become uncontrollable if you set her off on something. And she needs to walk around the classroom every now and then because she can't sit still for very long periods of time.
And how do I know that I don't have it? I've never had the patience to actually get tested. I wonder how many people are like that.
But lets see..
I can have random and sometimes funny ideas and images pop into my head every few seconds. Some stay there for a few minutes depending on how long I try to hang onto them. It is usually how I get my more random and funny drawings.
It's hard for me to concentrate on stuff I find boring.(like homework)I start thinking of more random stuff and get all fidgety.
I can't sit still when I'm even a little excited over something. When I watch my anime stuff I can't help doing running leaps onto my bed. Which sometimes results in injury.
But anywhys the music is cool.

I've noticed something about ADD and ADHD, it's actually quite opposite the stereotype when it comes to intelligence. Most of the kids I've met with it have been exceptionally bright and capable of amazing things once they learn to kind of gentle their own thought patterns a little and put the chaos to work for them.
I'm fairly certain I've had ADHD all my life, but when I was a kid, it didn't exist as a "disorder". They just chalked it up to me being a "smart kid"; my IQ always tested high and I was reading collegiate level in third grade. But to this day I can't clean the living room without being distracted at least twenty times from the simple chore just by carrying something to another room to put it away and going off on a tangent straightening the cabinet it goes in or whatever. It can be frustrating when I know I'm "tweaking" and can't seem to stop it. I feel like I get nothing done sometimes until my fiance points out all the little pieces of something I got done in my bouncing around.
I think you kind of captured what goes on in my head on an average day.

This was nice enough, but the plain drums of FPC sort of put me off
