Guitar Hero or Adderall – which one is a better cure for ADHD?

It took everything I had to pull myself away from playing Guitar Hero 3. For some people that doesn’t seem like an outlandish concept but for me it’s OUTRAGEOUS! I’m a 33 year old stand up comedian. I spend at least 12 hours a day working on my material, new sketch ideas, [...]
