photo Some how I lost a lot of the zeal and passion I had for writing and keeping up with all things progressive. I am still an elected officer, a chair in a local committee and member of the DNC but I feel so overwhelmed by every political story that crosses the wire that writing became too painful. On top of this it has been a helluva year. Losing our jobs, rebuilding our lives, starting a new company that is still losing money (though trending better.) It seems that everything is too much. So I slowly am starting to look at and sort out my feelings about it all.
About Barack; well, I knew he would not be some uber lefty progressive that would save us, and I do think he has done some great stuff in a year and a half. BUT, I am dismayed that the corporatists seem to have a foot hold in the westwing and I am scared about what Nov. will bring. the tea baggers are no joke to me, I find the embracing of stupidity and lies horrifying.
BUT I miss the netroots, I miss the challenge and the passion, I miss the feeling of trying to make things better- so I am sticking a toe back in the water and seeing if there is still anyone here in our little pool?
I will make a point of catching up. And seeing what is what again.
I will be missing netroots this weekend, no money. :-( but hopefully will get there next year. Depends on life, which has had a habit of being like a roller coaster in the last year. But I am here on the intertubes. Are you still out there?
