Why hello, everyone!
It's great to see how active this place still is, after all these years, and to see so many familiar names still active on here and pushing that boulder uphill (heh!). It's also very sad to see some of the names that I very distinctly remember from my days here, up on the Memorial Forum. Those were some good, smart folks that are up there... it's very special that you guys have a space for that and it really hit me when I saw it.
Some of you still here probably remember me, but I'm sure there are a *lot* of other people who don't, or simply don't care, which is of course fine. I haven't been here on RPF posting in the forums or blogging, here, for quite a while, now, obviously. Loved the time I was here, the discussions I had, and the people that helped me grow, along with the people I hopefully helped grow. Basically, after a while, I started to see how much debating and discussing these issues on RPF, Facebook, and G+ along with real activism in the real world had taken a lot of my time over. Being a Ron Paul caucus-goer in D6, MA in the 2012 election (which I may at some point post all of the details about in my blog) really drained me good, especially with the tactics of the Romney and GOP campaigns colluding here in MA and arbitrarily dismissing our democratically elected delegates -- so that was that. So to both satisfy my political, economic, and philosophical curiosity and need to discuss, while also freeing up a lot of my time for other pursuits in life, I took to more blogging to just 'get this stuff out', and on to some medium. It's cathartic, and I've minimized my social media time as well, particularly in social network communities or forums.
As it stands, I've moved my primary blogging space to its own site, at a place I call 'A Sisyphean Revolt', where I talk about politics, economics, philosophy, culture, and entertainment. My internet 'nym can be found under 'Steve Lolyouwish' at my blog and elsewhere on the 'net (Google Plus, Reddit, Twitter, etc). If you're at all interested to catch up on my posts, you can find them at http://asisypheanrevolt.blogspot.com.
I may stop by every now and then to either share a blog post or engage with you guys again to satisfy that need, etc, but again, it's been cut down to a minimum. But after stopping by I wanted to say 'hi' and just catch anyone who cared up on what's been going on, and that I'm still kickin', I still love good ole grandpa Ron Paul (that's really what he feels like to me, haha), and no one comes close. We should cherish every moment he's still around and for everything he's done, which really is a lot. AT least for me -- philosophically, politically, intellectually, maturely, etc.
Keep on believing in liberty!
Sincerely,
-- Steve
