Yes, it's Latin, no I'm not translating it. Haven't written anything here in about a year, and just when I was thinking of getting back into it, I decided to fuck it and call it a day. I started out writing this blog to provide an intelligent, educated perspective on a lot of political, social and/or philosophical issues. I keep trying to write this and I keep deleting it because I end up disagreeing with myself. There were a lot of times I loved doing this, but now I don't think anyone really cares. yes, I've been away for a year and that'll kill anyone's interest, but honestly, people were more interested in arguing with themselves or each other on the last few posts rather than thinking about the posts themselves. People saying I can't have an opinion on some things since I'm male, and I can't complain about THAT since some other fucking thing. I mean, I loved doing this, but I can't find a reason to keep going. Hell, I can't find a reason to thinking about anything political really: I only get upset and piss off friends. I'm not even preaching to converted, I'm screaming at the apathetic. More often than not, I'm ranting at people actively don't want to care. I hoped this arena would be different, but has proven not to be. All my ideas, there's no point in giving them a voice. It's gotten to a point where many of my ideas are so far in the minority people don't want to have discussion about them, they just want to ignore them. and they sure as hell don't want to read them.
Maybe I'm wrong, which is actually my premise for giving up this blog. If people actually do want to read this stuff, let me know. Otherwise, this is it. Or hell, I might come back, delete this point and pretend it never happened, Soviet revisionism style. No guarantees on the future, and no country for old bloggers.
So it is written, so do I see it.
PS Thanks to all of you who read this over the years, left comments and were at least a little amused by it. It's been fun and many of you made it all a little better.
