I am 47 now. what move me at 37, 27, 17 no longer hold my favor. I mean the world has changed and so have I. I have children now. I have 4 children that requires shuttling them all from here to there. I used to be married and now I am divorced. My everyday life has no room for political mess.
There was a time when I was in love with politics…drunk with it. I even ran for office and won. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to be the difference. Life and the business of living can change you. It’s time for me to let those that still love politics have at it.
I still think Barack Obama was a good choice for America. I think Sarah Palin is an idiot. I think the GOP is out of touch with America. I think the Democrats are out of touch with Americans. There is a difference. No one is listening and a whole lot of folks are suffering.
Federal Bail-outs ought to have been for folks who own homes and needed to catch a break…myself included. I stand to lose my home too. I am not bitter, just tired. Fighting is hard work. Trying to make sense of it all is exhausting. We are all scared.
When will it get better and what do we mean when we say that? I used to be interested in politics…but now?
Happy New Year! It’s 2011 and what will it mean?
