While my new episode of Season 2 of Gossip Girl downloads on itunes - I thought I would take a second to update you on what has been happening in my life since the last post.
hmmmmmmmmmm not much really.
Well, I guess that's it. Wait no - actually there is something that I would like to say..
I miss last year. I miss that last year at this time there was an election going on and I was getting involved. Last year I felt this passion that I had not felt before in my life. I don't know where it came from and it was really an amazing experience. I miss that. I feel like last year was an important year for me because of my growth as a person. Campaigning for Hillary and Obama really changed my life in a way that I didn't realize until it was all gone. If you know me you know that time was an awesome time. That's all I talked about ( and sometimes still do ) I met some amazing people and had some unforgettable experiences. Knocking on all those doors as far as South Dakota talking to voters - hearing their stories - telling them mine...
So what does all this mean? I am trying to figure all of that out. What do I do next? Friends are telling me that I need to work for a campaign or something like that but is that what I really want to do? I feel like I am finally getting settled into a steady career.
I just got back from Upstate NY. I knocked on doors for Scott Murphy who is trying to win Kirsten Gillibrand congressional seat. ( she replaced Hillary in the Senate ) I was among people that were around my age and who obviously shared my passion about trying to make a difference in our country. Have you ever had that experience? Where you are around a group of people that share the same passion and drive for something? It's fucking amazing - and I didn't feel this for the first time until last year during the election.
( just checked my download of Gossip Girl, 10 minutes left )
( gulp of my merlot )
What do I do? When do I do it? More importantly - do I do it?
