Anthony can't read

"Have you ever been reading an article and the shit just gets out in front of you? A few pages in you are completely blank."



"I can't say."



"I mean I am reading about this man who has apotemnophilia. Do you understand that?"



"I can't say I...."



"He has a compulsion to have a perfectly good limb amputated. This is what this means. He stares down at one of his legs and says to himself 'I need to cut this motherfucka' off' Can you comprehend that?"



"I don't think I have had an opportunity so far."



"Do you see how an article like that can draw you in?



"I add new words to my vernacular through comic books."



"So I'm reading about this neurologist; this dude or gentleman



"Yes of course gentleman."



"Well this dude is trying to understand the inner workings of this problem and many others, right? But check this out; after a few pages I'm blank. I'm completely fucking blank. I'm day dreaming or lost or whatever."



"What?"



"I'm reading this article, almost enthralled and then I am completely..."



"Fucking."



"Blank. All of a sudden after about two pages I am not able to retain shit. I had to go all the way back to the first paragraph and start all over."



"So what. I do that while I'm driving. What's your point?"



"I don't have a point." He said surprisingly quick. "That's what I'm saying."



"Huh?"



"Well now I would like to add you. I think we got some neurological problems. Is it the Internet? the TV? We are losing our ability to concentrate."



"What?"



"Huh?"
