So, I have to confess: I can’t find my Muse. Yes, I’m sick and tired over some RL crap that won’t go away, but it’s deeper than that. And I’m not sure exactly why. I keep driving back the little voice, that is so loud and obnoxious sometimes when I’m doing the standard political surfing. She says, “you know you just don’t care about this shit anymore.”
It may come from the horrible primary bullshit that won’t die. It may come from my inability to find affordable health care. It may come from the crushing burden of caring for those for whom no one else will care for, and which my moral values demand that I do. I guess I’m just not sure. Old Timers: is this normal? In the midst of a “hot” political season like we’re having now? All I seem to want to think about is sex with Jewish grrls and my flowers. I feel guilty, lazy, untalented, stoopid, etc.
I think most of you here grok it, even if you express it differently. HRC wasn’t my choice, but I can share with all of you my many fears about what a BHO admin will really mean, bring, create, destroy, etc. Just as I have disdain for his supporters who can’t call- no, I won’t go there. So where should the energy go, or rather, where is it to be found so I can get it back? I crapped out of supporting Harry and Nancy shortly after our Glorious Victory of 06, and I haven’t been sorry about that, those lying fuckwads. These days, my answer to ennui over national politics is “local, local, local.” It’s working, but at the same time, not as satisfying. Anyway, I’m rambling as I’m on the verge of a major migraine and about to go to sleep to fight it off. But I’m wondering, am I alone? So much of what I read on today’s intertubes seems so transient, so fake, so much not of the moment that matters to people who eat food and breathe air. Or, it could just be summer. What do you think?

when you find the answer let me know
I have been feeling the same way for months.
heh, DCB. thanks.
just as long as i know it’s not “just me” i’m ok. thanks again for your health care posts, trust me when i say, some of us are dying to read about it. i guess burnout is just a phase we have to accept.
I'm definitely getting more focused on RL
I really want to find time to continue my Bible studies, but I’m so freakin’ busy, which is mostly a good feeling.
Now that the primaries are over, I’m just looking for signs that BHO is actually going to notice the millions of Democrats who would avidly support him if he’d truly “ask for our votes,” which (from where I sit) more than anything consists of him admitting today’s political realities.
This should be a great year for Dems, but so far it’s not panning out that way.
This country’s hurtin’ in a lot of ways, and I wish I knew what the heck he really wants to do, something tangible that would get me ridin’ on a Unity

I can understand it from vast left's
point of view, and mine.
Our hopes of getting a Democrat in the WH are dashed, our respect for fellow Democrats and democracy and bloggersphere media pushback very shaken…although it led me to discover some terrific voices here and elsewhere.
It is interesting seeing my old dailykos these days - there seems to be no celebration of his illgotten win that kossacks turned out to be willing to “say or do anything” ;~) to get.
But, judging from your nahgah happen post about the inner workings of the DNC, maybe you just know too much…enjoy your summer and flowers, maybe its all we can hope for now.
Some balloons pop
some just loose their air slowly. I’m one of the popped balloons.
Damnable rain ain’t helpin’ matters!
S’alright, it’s baseball season!

from grinding my teeth, I think.
I guess that makes me objectively pro-McCain.

I feel your pain, Lambert. That’s how I spent all of 2007.

A cold, wet spring
has dampend my enthusiasm for many things. Without sufficient exposure to sun I lose my energy, become non-communicative, just generally depressed.
Winter can be hard, but a bad spring is even worse.
MJS: thanks! um, i think... Feral, i hear ya
that could be it. now that it’s warm, i’m just waiting for my head to adjust to the constant barometric changes we’ve been experiencing here; they tend to give me awful migraines.
MJS- you are very silly. that is all. except: i love you for it.
