Floating!

So is this writers block? When you start, pause, start, refrain, cursor blinking at you, muster the courage to write a few words, mumble words as you type them feverishly before your mind goes blank again?
you stare stupidly at the screen, and then your gaze wanders, you descend in a stupor, looking like an irish milking cow.
You then listen to this jazz-rock band, and the guy, in pure American jazz style intones some gibberish: "i just watched Pink Panther last night so i am trying desperately to be funny...."
You visit the New Vision or monitor websites to find something remotely interesting to comment on in your blog, and all you stumble across is this story about 'National Medical Stores and how they plan to start doing a delivery of drugs to districts without prior orders from respective health units', and then further down come across the part where they talk about 'this working towards avoiding expiry of drugs in NMS stores' you guffaw and wonder then why hospitals and health centers across the country cry of drug scarcity problems and here the drugs are rotting in NMS stores!

You drift on and look at other bloggers work (by the way, is wordpress.com the new bloggers haven?) if so i am going. You hear about BHH an acronym that stands for Bloggers Happy Hour and wonder when the next meet will be, here in Kampala...
Some of the bloggers whose blog sites you have visited like Afrogay give you a lesson in humility as you observe how beautifully they weave their words, you are then jostled back to reality when your Outlook reminder goes off "Your next meeting starts in 5 minutes" Fleeting gratitude that this is not an editorial meet, and that writing doesn't pay your rent floods through your bloodstream, and you happily trot off to your next 'Health Unit Mapping exercise meeting" Whew! lucky i am a techie!
