Why I Haven’t Been Blogging As Much Lately
I want to take a brief moment to explain why this blog has been relatively listless lately, because i feel as if I’m letting some of you down with my lack of postings.
I articulated it fairly well in this post:
I’m just tired of everything. I’m tired of writing, tired of being broke, tired of working, tired of owning a house, tired of being a parent, tired of people, almost (but not quite) tired of music and definitely tired of playing music in Philadelphia, tired of not touring, tired of politics, tired to death of grants, tired of the East Coast and the US in general.
I’m at a point in my life where i simply don’t have any interest in engaging the stupid in debates about why they’re stupid. Oh, I get myself suckered in once in awhile, but I’m not interested in navigating the web of lies that right-wingers surround themselves with to prevent serious debate. These people are idiots, and utterly incapable of absorbing anything that challenges their worldview. why bother?
why bother, for that matter, writing about politics when you’re in the grip of an entrenched two-party duopoly who’s political message is “vote for us no matter what stupid shit we do because we’re not that other awful party.” It gets boring, ya know, to defend people who make promises they never intend to keep.
My life continues to be in a holding pattern: I was accepted to Drexel University to earn my teaching certificate, but declined due to the expense. I’m in the process of applying to Temple for Fall 2011, because it’s a LOT cheaper. At the same time, I really want to get into brewing professionally, but need to figure out the way forward.
So yeah, basically not a lot to write about right now. Wake me up when the world regains a semblance of sanity.

Keep your chin up camper. I just found out my spouse has been having an affair for the last two years and there are $6,000 in charges on our credit card that I didn’t have the fortune to enjoy.
and I was happy.
FUCK ME RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!
