I know, I know, I know. I’ve been MIA (again) for a REALLY long time. But this time, it has nothing to do with depression or the oppressive philosophy of Islam. In fact, it has nothing to do with religion at all. I’ve just been WAY too busy.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past year (not counting the innumerable factoids I’ve accumulated about various world religions), it’s that blogging is (or, at least, should be) a full-time job.
I know I should have posted an update when things first got busy, but this is literally the first moment I’ve had to sit and type (at least for an unpaid project) in weeks. I’ve been so crazy busy for both good and bad reasons.
The good reason is that I’ve had a lot of work lately, which gives me a tiny glimmer of hope that the economy is slowly starting to pull itself out of the shit pile (oops—swear word—sorry!) and that things might eventually get better.
The bad reason is that I have to move, so I’ve been spending every available free moment packing and getting organized. Maybe moving doesn’t seem inherently bad to you, but trust me—in my situation, and thanks to some of the unsavory people I’ve been related to (or married to), it just isn’t a great situation.
But even though I haven’t been posting, I assure you that I’ve still been adhering to my latest religion—Judaism. And if there’s one thing Jews are good at, it’s coming back from a really bad situation and kicking some ass (I’m not even going to apologize for that particular bit of profanity).
So, I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking a brief sabbatical for the next couple of weeks so I can finish packing and get settled in my new place—and get ready to kick some ass myself.
After that, I will pick back up with the rest of Judaism (and I just found my book on Kabbalah in the rubble of my basement, so—score!—I’ll be able to cover everything!). After that, I’ll finish out this year (okay, plus a few extra months) of enlightenment with my look at atheism.
So, hold tight—I’ll be back as soon as I can. I really appreciate all the support you’ve all been giving me, and as a special thank-you gift, I’m working on finishing up a free e-book of some of my favorite prayers from the religions I’ve studied over the last year, so that will be coming out, right here, in early December.
I’ll be back soon—writing from a brand-spanking-new address. See you in a couple of weeks!
