With all apologies to Eddie Hinton, who probably doesn't care.
I haven't written in a while. I made the decision about a month ago that writing about politics four times a week was fine but trying (and usually failing) to come up with that might not always be politics was a drag, man. Sometimes it came, most time it didn't, and it was starting to not be fun anymore. If I'm not getting paid, I better be having fun. I see no reason to stick around for neither.
And, for the most part, it's worked. I've been in a weird headspace for the last couple of months. Best way I can describe it is my own self-loathing is so severe that I'm not sure I should be taken seriously about anything. In any event, there's always some goofy shit going on somewhere in the halls of power and mankind will never not be a good story waiting.
That being said, I don't give a shit and I'm starting to get tired of it. I need a break, something to shake loose the blues. A new perspective, that sort of thing. This is why I need to get stoned at least once a day and trip at least twice a year. New perspectives, I'm in favor. You might be imagining all this.
