I am sure you have noticed that my posting has been a bit light as of late.
There is a reason.
For one, my laptop keyboard was not working properly; this has been fixed, the keyboard was replaced. Never thought that the damn “N” key was so vital to one’s ability to communicate properly. Thank God for extended warranties.
Another thing is; I am just getting bored of it all. There’s nothing really worth writing about anymore. Politics is beginning to sound like a broken record anymore. Hits are down, as are clicks on ads.
I’m not saying that I am shutting down, at least not yet. I am just either burning out or just getting quite jaded.
It’s the cynic in me. I’m just become cynical of the whole lot and wonder if this is what I want to continue to write about.
Writing is a wonderful thing; Computers have made it so much easier for me to do. But writing about things that you honestly give two shits about helps too. It all means nothing if you are cynical about the subject that you are writing about.
It was never my intention to become a politico. It was just what was happening at the time and I wanted to add my voice to the discussion. But now, that discussion has changed course; some for the bad, some for the good. Most of it is more of the same. Do not get me wrong; spiking Liberals and Obama for their stupidity is fun. But when the stupidity becomes routine, it just gets old. Eventually the novelty wears off.
Which is where I am now. The novelty of blogging was worn off; and now I feel like I am having to drag myself to even write about anything anymore. What is also compounding this is the fact is, that there are just no returns for the amount of time that I am investing in the blog. I mean, I am not exactly a money grubbing person. But a little payment for my effort would be nice… and quite bluntly, I am not getting anything at all out of this. Sorry, but $179 and pocket change is not what I call a huge return for over four years worth of writing.
So, at this point, I really do not know what I want to do. I may just take a break. Then again, something huge might break and I might be back in the trenches. But as of right now. I am thinking of just not writing anything, unless it is huge. I need the break.
Anyhow… Hopefully I will be around. I will inform everyone, if I decide to open another blog or something. But for now, I think I just need to relax and get away from the politico stuff for a few days.
