‘The Block’. Not featuring Waz & Gav, but my brain.

In my perfect world my job title would be writer. Ok it would actually be “mum”, but for all intents and purposes today I would like it to be writer.

So I’m a writer with writer’s block. Well writer’s block on anything other than having writer’s block. Are you following?

Since starting this blog back at the beginning of the year this is only the second time I have experienced The Block. I have opinion’s on anything and everything sure, but sometimes I can’t seem to find the part of my brain that tells my fingers what to type and how to get those damn words out of my head.

And so I thought I would share with you that frustration, because well, at the moment I ain’t got nothing else to write!

It’s quite a strange feeling, not being able to sit down and bash out a rant via the keyboard. I get frustrated and a little bit ancy really. Like a professional althete who needs to go for a run, or an artist who can’t think of anything to draw. It’s like I’ve lost my writing mojo! And trying desperately to think of something to write, only makes things worse.

So why does this happen? Well I’m not quite sure actually, it could be a range of things. From deciding to take on a different role with different hours at work, to trying to organise flights and things for our overseas trip, my brain has been full of my own goings on that I’ve forgotten to take in the outside world and all that has been happening!

So one can only hope that this is a temporary block that will soon be unblocked in a non sewerage kinda way.

Fun Friday: Baby Elephant

So first we had the panda sneezing! You can watch that HERE. Now we’ve got the baby elephant!

Happy Friday!

Free as a bird.

There aren’t many things that make my blood boil. Ok, maybe there’s a few, and today’s story on Greg Bird is one of them. Apparently now it was all an accident and Katie Milligan, Greg Bird’s girlfriend “didn’t believe anybody would believe it was an accident – here’s a guy who everyone wants to believe is an aggressive footballer,” she told the court.

One word: Bullshit.

If it were an accident as they are now maintaining, and a judge has also believed, quashing Bird’s conviction, then why the hell did they not say this in first place and fight his innocence with the truth, instead of initially blaming it on a flat mate that wasn’t even within the vicinity.

So here we have another footballer ‘getting off’. What kind of example are we setting for those that look up to these people? Regardless now of whether he did or did not ‘glass’ his girlfriend, they have both lied to police and lied to the courts.

I simply just don’t have any more words to say about this other than UGH.
