The End At 500

It was a good run. If you've read all posts on this blog to this point you've endured 500 chapters of my insanity. I held off writing this post for want of a miracle to give new life within me to continue with the direction this blog was heading. However, lacking such an epiphany post 500 is the end. Time to go down memory lane on this one.

I started the blog to vent my insane observations of the world and educate others. Somewhere along the way I became standard bearer for the Republican Party and a humanitarian defender of human rights pleading for all to stand up for the people of Iran, Honduras, Western Sahara, Pakistan, so on and so forth. Then I mixed in local Maine politics and had opportunities presented to me that I never thought possible. Politics in Maine became more exciting than I thought it could be. Politics in Maine, despite the heightened excitement I had for a time, had little true impact.

That is the key to why I am ending my efforts on this blog. The people of Iran are still brutally oppressed, we have problems here in Maine and platitudes instead of solutions from our self-described leaders. An organization of political thought has betrayed its own values locally and nationally to such an extent that I'm alienated from the entire process. Therefore this blog's topics are stale in my heart when simply reporting the proceedings.

What is not stale for my interests right now? I'm writing a book guest starring three archeologists, two terrorists, a Russian, and a pissed off 8 year old. I'm placing much effort to my college and finding a new career calling considering my major was cut in the budget this year. What was once the love of my life is no more yet my heart has found better.

At the beginning this blog was my life and since my life has grown exponentially beyond the boundaries these posts could ever reveal. I studied the world and went to events not as myself but as a worker for my blog. My efforts were not my own, but the blogger within me. Yet, I've moved past realizing I don't need to use a status anymore (I know "blogger" is a low and unofficial title, but the mind plays tricks sometimes).

I bid you farewell at 500. Thank you for reading. Meow.
