From Last Day of my Life, one of the BEST Blogs out there....

2005-05-24 Hello, people. I know I haven't updated. I have come down with what is known as Ted Barlow disease. I have become burned-out on blogging. I have been doing this since 2001, back when I was writing about my life and a homeless blogger was unheard of. These days - most of the people that read this site merely know me as a political blogger. Which is fine by me. I didn't want to be known as an internet freakshow novelty.

The truth is that I just haven't felt like updating and it turns out that I didn't miss blogging one bit. I didn't plan retirement or to make some big announcement about how I didn't want to blog, anymore. I always felt that people that did that were full of themselves. The truth is the lack of updates just sort of happened without any planning.

Strangely, this all came about after I had successful runs guestblogging for Roxanne Cooper and David Scott Anderson. So the whole blogging thing was actually going well and I was gaining new readers.

The truth is I have tuned out the news and I have no idea what's going on right now. Which makes me like most Americans that are oblivious to the world around them. And I found out I like it. It's more addictive than nicotine.

Wow, the deficit really doesn't exist if I don't think about it. Cool!

I'd like to say I don't get it. Or Mike, say it aint so! Or some shit like that, but I do get it. After these assholes lost my blog, and I saw two years of my work go down the drain, I considered hanging it up.

I get frustrated when I see our President time and time again manage to escape responsibility and accountability... And I seriously wonder if it is worth it to put so much of myself into this blog. I used to enjoy it... Now it sometimes just seems a chore. So Yeah Michael I hear you Brother.

But I hope you change your mind, cause there are a lot of us out here who love you, and who love your work....

DA
