Writer's Block

Hmm… What can I write about? What can I write about? I’m starting to learn that it’s pretty difficult to come up with something to write about every day. Usually I’ll just write about anything that pops into mind, but seeing as how I’m slightly brain dead right now nothing's really jumping out or grabbing my attention.

I could potentially write about the rugby game (Springboks vs Wallabies) I watched earlier this morning, but seeing as I wrote a little bit about rugby last week and how we lost today I’m not really in the mood to delve too much into the match. I could also potentially write about how I've been successful in my two week break from coffee; and how today I was euphoric to sip on a good Rwandan Musasa from the Origin, the real stuff, with caffeine in - not that fake decaf crap that I've been using as a substitute; but for some reason that’s not really inspiring me either.

I could go into my views with regards to that guy from the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema and his talk about “eliminating” the opposition and how it completely freaks me out, but I don’t really want to tackle a depressing issue, particularly on a chill out day such as this one.

What I really need is something to stir up my creative juices, some sort of inspiration… a muse even; just to break the doldrums of my writer’s block, so that I can actually get going and put some words out there. There’s simply nothing worse than when you can’ think of anything. It’s like driving a car that won’t get out of first gear...

Gosh darn it, I’m just not feeling it. Think Benny, think! What on earth could I write about? I wonder if the great writers of our time such as Ernest Hemingway or Oscar Wilde ever suffered from such lackluster days?

At this rate I’ll be sitting here till tomorrow with absolutely nothing to post…

Hey Coach! Pick Me!

Day 2 and the sun is shining on strong, forgot to mention that it was because a friend of mine Maria who used her extra special super powers, to bring the sun out in the first place ; by performing a sun dance.

Also forgot to mention that I caught the last half of the rugby yesterday; I can’t believe we actually won! Sure being the World Champions is a big deal and all, but the All Blacks are ranked the top team at the moment and to beat them on one of their home grounds in Dunedin, dubbed the “House of Pain”. Where the Springbok’s have never won in the long, rich, 80 odd year old history since their rivalry began. That's quite an achievement.

I’m not sure if anyone has tried to listen to the new Springbok coach, Pieter de Villiers in a post-match interview but I can’t understand a word that guy say;, when he talks he kinda just mumbles. But whatever he is doing or telling (or trying to tell) the team it seems to be working, and with a rather impressive resume, taking our juniors to becoming World Champs. I hope he continues winning us games. As the Aussie commentators would say “You go you good thing!”
