Ah, the life of the dilettante...

For those who are unaware, here is the definition (courtesy of Merriam-Webster ):

dil·et·tante \n\: 1: an admirer or lover of the arts. 2: a person having a superficial interest in an art or a branch of knowledge.

Anyone who knows me would suggest that both are appropriate. I love the arts and humanities, and have currently been dabbling in several: history, dancing, acting, women. ;^)

Add to that my obsession with music, movies, pop culture... with so much information, how can anyone be satisfied just pursuing one field?

However, I've reached a point in my college career where I need to specialize. My capstone project is looming.

I'd never considered specializing. I've always wanted to know everything... in fact, one could say I'm addicted to the idea of knowing everything.

I've mentioned the doomed FOX show John Doe before. If I could cherry-pick my super-hero power, that's what I'd choose. A trip to the spiritual plane where all the universe's questions are answered and back.

Access to all knowledge.

Of course, then I would give the best massages.

Oh wait, I already do! =^P

Seriously though, my mind just flits from thing to thing... and it's not boredom or ADD... I'm truly interested in everything, I just can't focus on one thing without attempting to multi-task.

So, my question is, am I alone? Is this something that is typical and I just have to learn to regain my focus.

Do I just have to learn to be less of a dilettante?

In addition to the history, the dancing, the acting, the women... no wonder I'm so busy!
