Just A Rant and a Rave

Slack ain’t the word to describe my writing habits these past few days. There wasn’t any!. At least not that much. I could always lay the blame on numerous happenings like Perth being inundated with massive storms, floods and the ilk, but it never occurred – just the incessant heat and humidity. That’s it!...I perspired too much and my perspiration streamed from my fingertips onto the keyboard and blew the mother board to smitherinees. Nah, doesn’t seem plausible. But, it has been bloody hot with temperatures hovering viciously in the vicinity of 40c. This causes thought. Why is the weather pattern such as it is?.

Environmentalists scream global warming, and I agree, but what is being done about it?. Nothing, zilch, denada and sweet FA. Sure, numerous countries globally have cleaned up their act as well as signed the Kyoto Treaty. But what of the two big instigators of pollution in this world. Yep, the good ‘ol U.S of A and its bum buddy Australia neither of whom see any sense in signing this treaty, and yet, they proclaim ‘to have made steps in the right direction’. Bollocks!. It takes unity, global unity and dedication to alleviate this f’ing mess we are in on this planet.

But, I have digressed from the original and that being my slackness for not scribing. Actually it is quite simple. My trip to Indonesia is only seven days away and I have been flat out like a lizard drinking organising all ‘n sunder. At least my bags are almost packed!. I rang Candika in Java this morning who promptly informs me that she will be arriving in Bali on an earlier flight. After I finish telling her I cannot make my plane go any faster so that it arrives the same time as hers, she politely tells me that she will pick me up at the airport after getting settled in our digs.

The writing?. Yes, well I have been keeping the fingertips on the keyboard and averaging my usual 4500 words per day. It has just been my posting on this blog that’s been slack. I haven’t made any submissions or sent proposals to any mags. Of course I have been note-jotting as well. I simply do tons of that. Now this brings to point, how will I perform (writing wise) when I arrive in Bali. All those distractions: a cool swimming pool, fabulous and delightful people, my friends living there in Bali, spectacular scenery, and of course not forgetting Candika. Simple, very simple – I’ll blog from Bali!.
