Been Slacking Lately

I’ve been slacking lately in my posting to this site. I’ve been busy with other things, and nothing in the news really brings out the debator in me. Nothing seems interesting. It’s the same old crap in politics. However, I find it hilarious how many different ways the Dems have painted their ass-kicking in California as really a blow against Bush. It’s quite funny. I don’t remember a time when the Dems seemed so disjointed, so paranoid or so all out whacked as they seem now. Some of what I read is bordering on frothy-mouth hatred.
But even this doesn’t make me want to write anything in rebuttal. I think they’re doing a great job of shooting themselves in the foot every day. No need for me to say or do anything.
Bush’s cabinet is also looking a tad-bit shaky these last few weeks too. I know there are good things going on over in Iraq, and that the majority (by far) of Iraqis want us there, but it still seems like things are on the verge of spinning out of control. What I don’t understand is why the international community isn’t doing more to help bring stability to a free Iraq. Isn’t that what the world wants is more stable, free countries? I’m also worried about how Iraq will pay the US back for all those billions of dollars we’re giving/loaning them.
I see some signs that the economy is beginning to recover, but times are still hard. I’m barely making the bills as it is. Does anyone need any work done? What’s kind of scary is that I’m think I’m losing the creative spark when it comes to Web development. I no longer have that burning desire to constantly create cool new features and designs. I’m not sure what I want to do besides that though. Ugh. Am I already hitting my mid-life crisis, but way too early?
Anyway… I’m through rambling now.

Hang in there Chris. We all lose our creative edge from time to time. This past year has been especially difficult for me too. Business is up, business is down, some days I don’t feel like looking at work, some days are great. In the last 12 months, I’ve been to the doctor for tension headaches and I have been treated for depression.
If I can pull out of all that and still be happy, I’m sure a young guy like you can too.
Maybe a good religious or political debate is needed to get the heart pumping, and then the creative juices will start flowing again.
