Disenchantment

One of the reasons accountable for the lousy number of posts in this blog in Jannuary is probably disenchantment.

Let me frame the picture.

For starters I'm not a summer person. I was born and raied in Patagonia, cold is my game. If it is hot I don't function, I can't think, I can  barely react. Air conditioning helps to a certain extent, but it is not 100% effective.

Recent events have also shifted the perspective in which I see many things. My job and my line of work included. I have been sort of forced to re-evaluate priorities, and the result is not that nice for Social Media. There are things far more important than that in my life.

With that in mind and the fact that I'm not too fond of where parts of the Social Media industry (is there such a thing?) are heading builds up my disenchantment.

I am still a believer. Heck! I'm more than a believer I'm a friggin' idealist, thus, chances are, I'll be back to my normal mood soon.

In the meantime I'll pay some attention to my family's needs (which I've neglected way too much) and divert some thoughts to different places to look for inspiration. I need to rest the mind, rethink plenty of stuff and get back to doing breaking ground stuff.

I'll be back, realoaded, and more of a smartass than ever before. Watch out.

(Editors note: bare in mind that disenchantment is not the same as disappointment)

    Recharge the batteries, then back at it. We need to shine a light into dark places. To be there to call out the frigtards. To refuse to accept anything less than the right stuff.

    It’s either that or we just become a pony show at the social media circus.
