I get very strong, random urges occassionally. I'll decide to do something life-altering, and in less than two minutes, I'm already trying to prepare for it and learn as much about it as possible.
This has happened many times with the guitar. I'll be watching a YouTube video, or something, and then I suddenly decide that I'm going to learn how to play the guitar. I'll bring up many webpages: instructional sites, places to buy guitars, etc. I will then grab my turquoise 3/4 guitar (named Dreama) and practice playing. I'll remember that Dreama hasn't been in tune for 3 years, and then bring up a website that teaches you how to tune your guitar. I'll do that for about 45 minutes, and then question why I ever wanted to play guitar in the first place.
It sounds insane, but you'd be surprised at how often this happens.
Like, just ten minutes ago, I was watching some old Mike Lombardo videos, and I suddenly decide that I want to learn how to play piano. The process above pretty much insued, except I don't have a piano, so I never got around to the playing part. But I seriously started planning out where I'd put said piano, and also what I would have to sell/get rid of in order to get enough money.
I eventually came to my senses and relaxed myself through writing this blog post.
I'm now starting to wonder if I have ADD, because, seriously, I'm really starting to act like it. I can never pay attention for very long anymore, and obviously, the strange and sudden impulses.
So, I should never be given a credit card, because I'm pretty sure that I'd be in debt pretty easily. I would've ordered a keyboard piano from Amazon if I had the money. But I don't. And that's a good thing.
My impulses aren't always as bad/stupid as the instrument problem that keeps popping up, however. They're probably the things that made me start my life online, including creating this blog. I can't say the same thing about my YouTube channel, because I've been planning that out for about a year and a half. I'm pretty sure that I impulsively chose to be a Nerdfighter* as well. Oh, and the fact that I started a wizard rock band called RavenLove.
I have no real ending for this post... So... Erm... PUPPY DISTRACTION.

*Just wondering, does anyone else capitalize "Nerdfighter?" I do if I remember to.
**That is an example of a short term random impulse. That song has nothing to do with anything, but in my mind it makes sense.
I decided to go buy a guitar today so I could start a wrock band. Then I realized that I was broke xDD
