I actually like it - for me it is better than a background that faded to nothing and is just one colour - which still has its place in image making - but I'd rather SEE the bokeh than not...no matter how busy or nervous it may be.

Trying fulfill your hopes for bokeh, here's a slight modified image that was originally posted on a different thread because I hesitated to post here as an example of bokeh.
