I’m officially taking a blog/news/social networking break for at least two days. I’ve really let my work fall behind and I won’t be able to write any more indignantly eloquent pieces in the dark if the power gets shut off. Not that I’m there yet, but if I don’t reign in my compulsion to read all day it will soon be the death of me.
Besides, I have a pattern in my life of always getting too focused and intensified on one area of interest to the detriment of all others, only to get so burned out on it that I step away completely for a long time. Previous examples include music, photography, and improv. Now I’m sure I’ll continue to pursue all of these, much as I will political engagement, but the times we live in right now are far too dark for me to stay silent for too long.
So I’ll see ya again on Friday, Internet! I’m off to work for the Man.
