Bramble Tamble

I am taking an indefinite hiatus from Bramble Tamble. Not that this place has been a hive of activity as of late.

Don't fret. I know that I've put thousands of words toward this endeavor the last couple of years, so to up and walk away from it (though it's obvious that my passion for BT has ebbed considerably in the last year) might raise some eyebrows and cause some worries among what few friends who might visit. There are no serious underlying reasons why I'm stepping away (i.e., health issues, etc.) - just a complete lack of interest, time and ambition on my part.

My [pending] deletion of my MySpace and Twitter accounts can also be attributed to this. I've burned myself out on blogging and twittering every last inanity of my life, to the point where it bores even me shitless.

I've also realized as of late that "internet stuff" is taking up way too much of my time, time that I've already devoted to my family as well as my job, the latter of which is taking ever-increasing chunks of my mental energy.

Lastly, and almost as importantly, It doesn't help that I feel like I've run out of things to say at this time. Case in point: I'd hoped to have at least 10,000 words posted since the election on why I fear that the majority of the electorate checked its wisdom at the door on Election Day, and I can't even muster anything beyond the first part of this sentence. For someone who's as politically minded as I am, the lack of righteous indignation from these quarters is inexcusable - another impetus for dropping the charade that BT still exists and holds some level of importance for me.

So, for the forseeable future, I will be nothing more than a disconnected, passive observer. Maybe the time away will reignite whatever passion has disappeared. Who knows.

I don't have anything further to add other than that the archives are over to the right. All the best to everyone, and thanks for your time..
