I have lost the will to blog.
Well, it’s more than that, really. For one thing, I’m beginning the initial stages of my dissertation, which means that I don’t have the time I’d need to come up with worthwhile, insightful posts on a daily basis (or even three or four times a week, actually).
For another, while I’m still just as angry as I ever was about the political direction this country has taken, it feels like I’m wasting my time bitching about it here. There are other blogs that do angry politics better than I do, and some of those are actually able to organize their readers (or at least facilitate that organization) to take, you know, actual action.
In short, I just don’t see the point of this anymore. So forget it. I quit. Thanks for reading.

Well that just sucks. I hate to see one of the better minds pack it in. We all can’t be Kos or Americablog, guess I’m in the every little bit helps crowd. I will regretfully remove your link from my preferred list of blogs. Let me know if you ever return or if you ever want to do a guest post. At least come by for a comment every once in a while.
All the best.

Well, good luck killing the dissertation, then. Personally, I always thought everyone found an outlet for blowing off steam while killing the diss? You may just find that the will may come back to you. :)
And, do take up tiny on the offer to blog Tiny Little Dots. You just never know when it’ll actually be therapeutic — for those days when killing this diss is more than you can bear!

Unfortunately this is the only post I’ve seen on your blog. Tis a shame. But I do understand your reasoning.
I’d certainly not be thrilled about listing the failings of our infamous government. Especially since so much of our land (bible belt) are avid Bush supporters :)
Good luck with future life :) Do something great!

If your no longer interested to blog why not sell it off?.I am pretty much sure that a lot of people would buy it. Anyway if your not interested to sell it just keep it am sure that your just burn out time would come that you will have the courage again to blog so it is much better if you save your blog for future used or perhaps you can get some guest blogger for you.

I think that time will come that you want to blog again. Anyway hope you will have the motivation to do it next time. It happens to a lot of bloggers to have no enthusiasms to either work or blog anyway just travel more and enjoy life more and time will come that you will do blogging again.

We all have a choice in what kind of difference we make while we are here. Good luck to you!
