How long did you say a giraffe's tongue was?

Here I sit; staring at a laptop screen. The stark contrast of the dark screen and the bright sunlight reflected by the concrete driveway are beginning to strain my eyes. It’s a Sunday afternoon and that can only mean one thing. Monday is fast approaching and as always I’m not even close to ready. There’s homework to be done, musical instruments to be practised before the next lesson and blog entries to be done. Wait... Did I just say blog entries? Now that’s a good idea! Why don’t I simply write about what I see at this exact moment and use it as a blog entry! It sure makes my life a lot easier and will give me something to write about.

So what do I see? Well, I see a desk covered in school books, sheet music, forms to be filled out and various items of stationery. On my right I see a half eaten packet of salt and vinegar crinkle cut chips, a flash drive and a calculator. On my left I see a mobile phone, and iPod that happens to be connected to my head via a pair of earphones, a notebook mouse, a glasses case and a pair of glasses that are folded on a book I borrowed from the library more than two weeks ago. Yes, that means it should have been brought back a while ago.

That’s just what I see on my desk. I could also tell you what I see in my room, or even throughout the whole house. Do you need to know what I see though? Probably not, but if you’re reading this it means you probably wouldn’t mind hearing. Am I going to tell you? No, because if I did, I wouldn’t be able to write about it in a future entry. You see, it’s all about getting people to come back to your blog. Pouring out your life story in one entry will make for a good read; but once you’ve done that, you won’t have a lot to write about. People will lose interest and your blog will join about 4 million other blogs that almost no one reads. What I’m writing is not an advertising ploy intended to entice you to visit my page daily, but rather a favour you could do for me by coming back every now and then. Who knows? You might just find something that does interest you. Unfortunately I’m getting a bit hungry and those chips look awfully good, so this will have to be it for today. Oh, and apparently a giraffe’s tongue is 53cm long. It says so on the back of the chips packet.
