Blank White Paper


Procrastination / artist block; simply sitting down to write this has given me an anxious uneasy tension, in so much as to look at the key pad I am typing on and have insatiable urge to clean it. Well it is covered in charcoal dust and paint splatter, maybe I should give it a quick little wipe over. NO!!!! I know if I do that it won't be just a little wipe, but instead I'll have unplugged the thing and attacked it with cotton tipped buds and three different types of cleaning agents, then only to realise I do not need to have all this crap on my desk.

A dozen CD's half without a casees, a tape measure, a T squared ruler on the top of three unopened magazines still in their clear cellophane wrap, amidst all these flyers and wires. Flyers from past exhibitions, wires from headset for the computer speakers, wires for extra speakers, iPOD wires with iPOD accessories, mobile phone cables that connect to my computer and ther's radio cable for my mobile next to a 9V battery I got for the transistor radio I can not find so I could listen to the footy or was that for a race, and by the way where is my mobile phone??? (no distractions remeber, it is down stairs)

From the seven odd pens on this desk you'd think one of them would work and yes there is a clear corner on one of many scrap bits of paper on this heap. Note to oneself: I really must clean that shelf above the computer.
