And, yes, I DO take it personally

I think I may be done

it's been since this past wednesday that i've posted and i find that i really don't have energy to keep putting them up... i may or i may not continue but, after all, i've been at this since early 2005... i've done it primarily for my own satisfaction but i'm finding that there's less and less of that to be had... things don't seem to be getting any better and i find myself being boringly repetitive on so many subjects that make my blood boil that it seems hardly worthwhile to keep doing it... i will undoubtedly keep close tabs on many of the same topics i've been following - civil liberties, the national security state, the surveillance society, the on-going shredding of the u.s. constitution, the insanity that passes for our foreign policy, assassination without a whisper of due process, etc., etc., and may occasionally put up a post or two, but it won't be with anywhere near the same frequency or diligence that i've worked so hard to maintain in the past... i know i have a few readers out there who have encouraged me to stay the course and i've greatly appreciated it, but times change and so do people... please know that i'll still be out here...

Yes, it's been one of those don't really give a shit periods

seems to happen every few weeks... other than a few more criminal bankers being arrested (see here) - which is always a good thing - there just hasn't been much going on other than the usual shit, and pardon me if i don't give a rat's ass about mitt, barack or the olympics... besides, i've been busy so deal with it...

Ok, ennui was only an excuse on Wednesday

honestly, it was a legit excuse on wednesday...!

however, i had to fly out very early on thursday and, on the return, due to a late arrival which didn't allow me to get home until this afternoon, i had to spend an unanticipated overnight in la last night and -- blah, blah, blah...

anyway, thursday, friday and most of today went by sans posting... them's the breaks...

Oh, man... The ennui just got real bad again...

i had four posts lined up when i was suddenly stricken with mental and emotional nausea over the garbage that's continuing to be strewn about by those who purport to lead us through our collective global experience... now i'm simply too disgusted to put any of 'em up... what's the use...?

Blogger was down all day yesterday (and so was I)

i would have put up some posts yesterday (friday) but blogger was down all day - or at least it said it was down... maybe it had something to do with where i'm accessing it from (afghanistan)... in any case, friday is my one-day weekend here and, given the intense work schedule i've been keeping (roughly 12 hour days, 7 days a week), i was way overdue to simply kick back and veg all day in my room while listening to music and occasionally dozing... (yeah, ok, i did do a couple hours of work, but, hey...!)

anywayz, i'm back and will be putting up an excellent glenn post in about two minutes...

A bit lighter than "light" posting

yes, the posting gaps have been increasing and, yes, part of that is due to the usual ennui... however, more than that has been the intensity of the work i've been doing here in afghanistan... i actually have my hands on one of the biggest, most complex, most challenging, most potentially positively impactful projects i've ever had the opportunity to tackle...

i developed a soft spot in my heart for this country and the afghan people shortly after i started coming here in early 2008 and if i can in any way make a positive contribution on behalf of these lovely people, i will do it - and i think i've been handed that chance...

i'd love to tell you more but it would be inappropriate for me to be telling tales out of school, dontcha know...

meanwhile, i'll keep putting stuff up here as i can... today - friday - is my one day "weekend" so you can look for a least a few things...

Light posting - heading back to Afghanistan

unusually high traffic the past few days at least for this low-traffic site... most of it's been going to the kill team post from last week...

anyway, mostly the same ol' stuff going on and i'm feeling like all i've been doing is repeating myself... however, i'm sure something will wind up kicking me in the nuts that i'll just HAVE to post on...

'till then...!
