my first blog...

Dedicated to my blogging inspirations: Heidi and Shereen

Gloomy weather outside, the wind whistling through the third floor windows. The pounding rain reminding of the hours that still remain at this desk. Piles of work surrounding me; i look for something to distract. Just a couple minutes of rest, thats all i need. A couple minutes to take my mind off of marking and planning for tomorrow.

With little thought, check my email... nothing. With greater hopes... I log into my myspace... nothing. My technical world that once brought me satisfaction fails miserably. That's when i recall a conversation i had over a couple glasses of wine... with a person that claimed to be my Best Interenet Friend. I quickly look up her site... only to find my face right there staring back at me and an article about my birthday, speaking loudly of an internet friendship that i have yet laid claim to. A friendship that began giving before I ever recieved or returned.

Now when the rain crashes, and the wind whistles, i take a sip of my warm coffee, feeling no dread of how i might take my mind of my work for a couple minutes. I click on Heidi and Shereen's blogs... and with their creative help, i forget... briefly... that i'm surrounded by piles of work!

Hopefully... i can do the same for you:)

It's actually been a long time since a post made me laugh outloud. This does, it might be to my special mention.
