I'm Baaaack!

Writers get writers block; athletes get injuries; celebrities get overdosed on drugs and alcohol and are sent to rehab. What do young inspiring bloggers get? I don’t know but I had it. I’ve had it for almost two years but it has now been miraculously cured like Michael Phelps’ marijuana crisis. My writer’s drive has sprung up faster than Britney’s hair, oh wait; I meant to say faster than Usain Bolt when he broke the 100m world record. I don’t know where my drive went but it is back and I’m ready to work my fingers until the skin on them turn like they’ve been sitting in a bowl of water for hours.

I haven’t lost the ability to write nor have I lost the inspiration. I guess you can say it’s been the laziness bug. My absence has caused my blog to develop virtual spider webs but have no worries fellow blog followers, however low in number you may be because I’m back! I’ve put on my plastic yellow gloves and I've taken out my dusting cloths- all of them being virtual of course- and I’m ready to blog. Now before I start typing at the speed of light and giving you followers something good to indulge in on your free time, I must explain where this sudden inspirational rush came from.
I was sitting around a computer one fine evening (didn’t that sound like the beginning of a fine novel?), conversing with some people about blogging and I uttered “Hey I have a bog!” the words came out of me like a deep rooted spirit that my body could not contain any longer. I felt joy in spitting out those words. Every letter that flowed out touched my lips and it felt good. I needed to rejuvenate my mind with Afrika Today and I am getting my fix through every key I press during this post. After I declared possessing a blog I was subjected to laughter but it wasn’t humiliating. They were amazed that I had a blog. The idea of blogging or being a blogger was entertaining. I’m an entertainer I guess and I like that! I may not be at the level of perezhilton or tmz (I refused to make a link to those cites on purpose- healthy competition, right?) but I’m pretty sure I achieve the same joy that their writers receive when they make their renowned posts.
So I guess it’s safe to say that my inspiration to revive my blogging life came from seeing the smiles that were on the faces of the company I was with as the topic of blogging was discussed. I don’t promise 50 posts a week, that’s just absurd, but I promise more entertainment, more opinions, and more blogging! More post are to come. They’re all lined up in my mind and can’t wait to by typed.
Sincerely
Your favourite blogger:
