My Brain is mush and the cat has a star

I honestly am in shock right now,I'm wondering what in the hell took my attention away from the world for me to miss so much recently.
I missed the earthquake in New Zealand only catching up with the fact it happened 48hrs after the event. Today I miss Japan,earthquake,tidal wave and giant whirlpool.

Up until 6 months ago I watch the news every night sometimes even twice, now though I'm struggling with current events. It's not like I have anything happening in my life that would or should drag my attention away from these things. No bright lights in the sky coming down with little green men to visit me, a loved one terminally ill or even a torrid love affair.

I'm starting to feel like my brain cells are just packing up and abandoning the sinking ship lately, and after today I can't say I blame them I'm embarrassed so I can just imagine how the smart parts of me feel.

I know I have been studying but it was only a 10 page essay nothing that would cause the world to stop. 
It's not just world events I seem to be forgetting friends need my attention too.So a huge sorry to the few friends I even talk to these days but have neglected. I never though much of it before but today I've truly noticed that life seems to be passing me by and I seem to be letting it. I think I do my clearest thinking late at night when I'm trying to sleep but am to busy wishing I had a person to talk to about anything and I do mean anything.

Yes I know I live with 3 people but hey I can only talk so much about why the cats butt looks like a star, why one kid is allowed to go to a disco while the other is grounded or how do you spell "Melmacian" yeah as in an alien from the planet Melmac. 
I know your off to check out a cats butt to see if it really is a star,but let me save you the trouble the cat star exists.
No wonder my brain is mush. Where is my knight on a white horse to save me from the weird stuff that is my life?Alright maybe I'm willing to settle for a white pick up truck,cos it has the no horse shit thing going for it, and the knight can I trade him for a friend,knights just expect to much from people that aren't princess's.
