It has been some time since I posted here or really even visited, which is a shame because I really enjoyed the time I did spend on here.  The unfortunate thing is, I never really felt like I had a vision for the site, it always seems to be a jumble of different things.  I knew that in order to grow the site I needed to find a unified theme, something to tie all of the posts together.  Well, needless to say, I still don’t know what that is.  You see, one day I decided to do something, and that something ended up consuming a significant amount of my time.  I spent hours reading, listening, and trying to piece together as many fragments as I could.  I feel like I opened pandoras box.  What did I do?  Well, I decided to pay attention this election cycle.  I decided to watch the Republican debates, to follow the primaries.  I decided I was going to do my due diligence as an American and be informed.  The result of this process has been called many things; going down the rabbit hole or taking the red pill.  I think the Planet of the Apes is a better analogy; I was asleep for a long time, and when I woke up, I realized the planet I was on is the same one I left, but fundamentally different.  I have spent the last several months stripping away the layers, trying to understand what our politicians have been doing all of these years.  Needless to say it has been quite a ride.  I am not going to delve into my political views right now, but I feel as though I have worked my way through a major life changing event, a quarter-life crisis if you will.  The result has caused me to view my world in a different light.  My previous hobbies are not a large part of my life.  I am eating better than I ever have before, and in two months I have lost over 20 lbs.  I look forward to the coming months, to see how the world shapes itself.  I will be back soon to write about what ever comes to mind, first, I have to finish unpacking.  I really do hate moving…
