Yeah, yeah... I know that I've been shirking my duties of blog mistress but to be honest, I haven't really felt like (a) I've anything that interesting to share and, (b) wondering if time is better spent writing something that would show some semblence of a book or other masterpiece.
Now that I'm doing this on my weekends because I have no other time to do it, I find myself thinking that I should be putting thoughts down on paper and creating something more cohesive. Be it music or written work or photography or, god forbid, painting, I keep thinking that there are better ways to spend my time hanging out in my favourite restaurant accomplishing nothing. I'm still thinking it through and promise not to abandon my readers however, some serious thought has to be put into this...
What has inspired this train of thought?
Well, I suppose that it was the inspiration of a few hours spent on a little island off of Sidney in which my soul was freed from the shackles of tediousness. It was a place that had no "civilization" and void of cars and supermarkets and drunken idiots and of course work. I returned with the taste of salt on my lips, skin "sandblasted" by the ocean air and a whole new lease on life. It's amazing what inspiration came out of this journey if only because I wasn't being barraged by the stresses of life.
The one downside to this was that the couple of hours that my friend and I spent there was only enough to open the portal for me. Life back on my regular island closed it as quickly as it had been opened although there was a residual effect.
I must admit that I didn't manage to hold on to the inspiration much past the day that I went. The ocean air calmed me so much that I was barely able to stay awake until I got home. I felt a little guilty but then again, the inspiration to write still fills my brain.
Anyway, I'd better sign off. It appears that one of those annoying distractions that I mentioned above has taken shape in this internet cafe. I hope that you all keep on creating! Ciao!
