Lost for words…


I.

No.

Today, we.

No.

Look,

Aaargh!

I have no inspiration this evening. I started to write something about the colour red earlier, but then I realised it was reminding me of my nose, so I have temporarily scrapped that post.

I then looked at the Postaday2011 topic for today, “What can’t you say no to?” And I was thinking about my nos, which made me think about my nose, and I was in exactly the same boat as before. So, I have scrapped that post too!

I simply have to post something, once a day at least. I started the year with two posts a day, but only because I had set myself a little mini-challenge within the Postaday challenge, but by February that challenge was done. Mission accomplished (or nearly, anyway!)

So, on the First of March, I find myself in this rather strange predicament. Tears are streaming down my face – no, not because I am upset by the lack of waffle-worthy thoughts, but because of my cold. Yes, I still have it. Yes, my nose is still red. And yes, I’m still breathing fire. With heat vision to boot.

Not being one to moan about such things, I have just enjoyed a nice, warm, soothing hot lemon and honey drink, and decided that in desperate times, desperate measures are called for. A quick post about nothing, and an early closedown.

Well, it isn’t as though I haven’t written about nothing in the past – it’s quite an interesting thought actually, nothing. Try to think of nothing for five minutes… just sit there and ‘be’… do nothing and think nothing. Your mind will probably wander. It’s good to just sit and chill at times, so try it anyway!

So, there we have it. My latest post about nothing.

Hopefully, inspiration will return for tomorrow’s exciting hot-off-the-press edition.

Aquatom1968 and the whole team apologise for this rather unexpected turn of events.

Or, as Willow once kind of sang in the musical version of ‘Buffy, The Vampire Slayer’, “I think this one’s mostly filler!”

But, a filler with a test card. I knew this would come in handy one day! Well, my blog needs a few more pictures anyway…AQT TESTCARD1

    I know what you’re saying Aquatom, I was in exactly the same position a few hours ago. I did manage to rustle up something out of the “What can’t you say no to?” theme set by the WordPress team. It’s a very different entry to my normal wafflings though.

    Take is easy Aquatom, I hope you feel better and more inspired tomorrow

      Thanks again, Trevor. I think I’m feeling better but I’m not counting my chickens just yet. As for inspiration… I’m not sure yet, but hopefully I’ll write about something tonight…

      ah, all is clear now, my mobile (cell phone) doesn’t hold enuff memory for piccies, so I only saw a red block…with an ‘x’ on it… and my smiley face didn’t work ‘cos I spaced it wrong…The Sir Aquatom test card….Great idea…Normal service will be resumed… type of stuff…
      Can I ask a question? Whats normal ? then I can gauge everything from your answer… 😉 xx

        Pen, your question has me baffled. What’s normal? Is it the things that we don’t need to question, or the things that we do? Is real life more normal than a dream? Am I normal or not because I prefer orange to yellow – but only just? Is everything normal, and if so, what about everything else? Sorry, I’ll have to think about this and get back to you… I’ve just read your excellent “Existence…” by the way, and I’m having a bit of a think anyway!

        The test card was something to fill the void in my mind… it will probably be used again…

          um, don’t think too much, once I’d finished that poem I thought a lot, and am thinking still…Normality is a perceived idea by persons who see themselves as normal? so, when you’re mad you still think of yourself as normal and everyone around you ‘out of sync’ , whereas vice-versa they say if you think you’re mad you’re not? … can I lie down? thanks…xx

            It ‘hurts’ when you get into the realms of normality… I love my surreal reality more I think. It feels somewhat cushioned!

            Oh, and Pen, please feel free to lie down…! 🙂
