I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.
Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...
Don't you dare! I feel that way sometimes and then I think about how much pleasure I get from exchanges with my blogger friends. Take a little break if you must, but don't quit. You did that already and we missed you greatly. Now where the heck is that Jesus post I was going to comment on?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Doug B. Take a break. The one I just took did wonders for me.
ReplyDeleteD-Ro,
ReplyDeleteI'll e-mail you and try to talk some sense into you. Don't even think about leaving us hanging...AGAIN!
I just started coming and was looking forward to reading more. I didn't know if when you said you'd answer my questions the other day if you meant on here or on Rain's site so I kept checking here too.
ReplyDeleteWhat bores you about it?
Before, when I quit, it was not by choice. This time it is, though. I really am so unfocused anymore, I kind of get overwhelmed with what I want to say. So I end up with 14 draft posts I never finish, and I'm not used to that. Touching Jesus was funny, though, don't know why I deleted that, except that it was just another example of re-blogging because I can't any longer post for myself!
ReplyDeleteAnd you were missed, btw. Glad you're back. Where else might have found meatless meatballs? :) Maybe it's just a break I need to get more focused again. We'll see, but meantime I'm still there with you all.
ReplyDeleteAGAIN .. like I said wasn't by choice last time. For now, though, as David Gates of Bread would say, "it don't matter me." :D I know you get that.
ReplyDeleteAll right, I confess I missed the questions, even though I flagged it to follow up. I'll do one more to answer, fr what it's worth. At least I'll have something to focus on, I might be able to complete something for a rare change lately.
ReplyDeleteHey D.R.! I hope you still comment with us on the other blogs, even if you're not posting on your own blog. You sound down and I know what that's like but just remember your funk will pass. I enjoy reading your writing, even your comments, so I hope you stick around cuz "Baby, I'm-a want you" to -ha. More Bread talk for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat about doing impromptu free-flow podcasts sometimes when the mood strikes? It might eliminate your ennui problem and you have a great speaking voice.

I was shocked at the news, and my heart aches for him and his family. He's constantly on my mind and in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteDoug, I've been out of the loop for a while. I came on your blog by chance to see if you were up and running again. So sorry to hear about your stroke. My sis, only 37, had a stroke a few months ago. Scary times for sure. I do hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well and recovery is chugging along.
