Upon commencement of this collection of random thoughts, a friend of mine remarked that I seemed to have a talent for writing. Kind words indeed. I believe that's exactly what I said to her. And while it is nice to get a pat on the back and a good job (get your mind out of the gutter!), I usually find it difficult to accept compliments. And I'm not doing this for any other reason than the joy of writing. And to make millions of dollars so that I may, one day, put my plans of exterminating mankind into motion.
But don't you worry your pretty little heads about that.
The reason I bring this up?
Part of the discussion centered around the north (where I happen to live). Most folk in the south haven't a sweet clue how things function here.....if they do function at all. Whether we live in igloos (we don't), whether we have electricity (we do) and, of course the most popular, how cold it gets.
The answer?
Cold.
Very Cold.
In truth, there are a plethora of blogs who all discuss life in the north ad nauseum. Each with a different perspective. The cold being a unifying factor. Oh, and there's snow, don't forget the snow.
At some point, I imagine I'll weigh in on the goings on around these parts. For now you'll have to content yourselves with my offerings of cold and snow.
With that said, I encourage you all to make a trek (not here, I don't want to talk to you) to the arctic and experience it for yourself. And depending on the time of year, I also may encourage you to wear a hat.
On a side note......
How awesome is the boss who randomly brings you a ginormous slice of chocolate cake? A little piece of goodness in what has been a pretty damn awesome sauce (and delicious) week.
I love this! The whole thing is full of mini-tangents; so very Nik. I could hear your voice narrating in my head as I read it. A very eerie sensation I must say.
ReplyDeleteSurprise chocolate cake is awesome, but I hate the un-word 'ginormous' so that sort-of ruined it for me.
Stories about the cold are boring.
