I started reading blogs back in 2003, right after Rich Santorum uttered his famous term "man on dog." Then, there was the obviously deteriorating mess that is still Iraq. All in all, there were many issues to voice out about. But, after last night's victory for Obama, I am wonder "what for?"
My novel continues on at a reasonable pace, considering I have a full-time job and a family. I also believe I've lost the passion. I do not enjoy blogging like I use to. I am really thinking it's time to close the old Rant down. I would like to say I've achieved what I set out to do with this blog, but in reality, I never really had a set goal to achieve, other than to post my rants.
Well, I grew tired of posting rants a while ago. I also grew tired of writing about life. I am busy living it, I find it redundant to then write about it.
Now, I know better than to announce a hiatus, because I never actually last more than 24 hours. I go longer when I just say nothing. What I am debating, is whether or not to shut down this blog permanently. In the great scheme of things, I am but a small microbe on the ass of a flea. Visions of grandeur and greatness are tiring and require a level of denial I am loath to continue.
I do appreciate those few loyal readers that occasionally leave comments for me. And I am aware of my rather unreliable response; that is, I usually don't feel moved to respond to comments. Unless, of course, you piss me off. But than, none of my regulars ever have pissed me off.
Anyway, I am not sure what the hell I am trying to say. It just seems that Rook's Rant does not have a place in the approaching social and political changes of this country.
I have much to contemplate. But than, I think the whole nation does.
I wonder if anyone really is aware of the incredible level of change that has occurred, and that life as we knew it is about to radically change? I don't think any of us do. The initial amount of energy required to overcome stasis is always greater than what is necessary to continue momentum. Yet, from the look of things, there is still a lot of energy in this nation. I hope Barack Hussein Obama has the strength and ability to guide that energy towards positive and uplifting change.

This isn't a job or a commitment, it's an outlet. If you an obligation to it, it isn't fun any more and you should cut it loose.
There's no requirement to represent anything other than yourself and your opinion.
The last time I checked, no one was taking attendance. Only do it when you feel like it. There's no guilt attached to not doing it.
There is always a diary with your name on it at the agonist :) I bet you could find some members to play chess with too when you feel like it. Actually that might be interesting to watch. I won't play you, I'm more of a scrabulous kinda gal. Or just take a break until your muse comes back.
