Hellllo Bidneites! I may be spending less time on here....

[Eurobabe]

I've done some thinking lately, and if I added up the amount of time I've spent in the past 7 years on DU, I would probably be appalled!

It's time for me to pull back a bit, I'll check in here from time to time, but I need to get back to my German studies so I can find a fulfilling job. DU will not really change, at least the GD forums: I see it beginning today, the progressive whiners are out in force, all pissed because of Obama's cabinet choices. Some people just need something to be unhappy about, and I don't need to be dragged down. IMHO, I trust Barack and Joe, that's why I voted for them. I am really tired of the armchair quarterbacks, the negative nellies, those who would jump all over you because you are not as smart as they think they are (LOL)...so, outside of the Photography group and my good friends here in JBSG, I am going on a 'DU fast' - we're talking 10 minutes on the egg timer and your off kind of thing. :rofl:

I need a break from politics, this has been an especially long two year run, yet I feel deeply fulfilled and positive knowing our guys are running the show. I need to get back into my photography, and ski season begins soon. Every chance I get, I want to ride my bike, become more fit.

Does anyone else feel like their life has been absorbed by DU and they need to break off, to savor the moment? :shrug:

Edit, DU crashed on me: I wanted to post this yesterday and show you how beautiful it was here, almost 68F, unheard of weather in November. Today it is gray and foggy, typical. I went out for a long bike ride and sat in the sun with my cat, thinking about Joe and Barack and how great it is to have them as our leaders. Everything felt right with the world yesterday. Many of my German friends said they stayed up until 2-3am to make sure Obama was elected, people are positively ecstatic over here. :D
