New Year’s Reflections: Let’s Paint the Town (Red and Black)

My twenties begin with the end of Battle For Settle, 9-11, and marriage and ended with divorce, expatriation to East Asia, and occupy wall street.  At thirty-one, I feel like the new normal’s prolonged adolescence is finally over.  This year I have spent dating, traveling East Asia, and protesting.  Sounds glamorous, but in reality in is slog better left to de-romanticization instead of the travel writing of discovery that leads to such tripe as “Eat, Pray, Love.”  I have also been deeply studying Marxist and Anarchist theory as well as history of fascism and neo-paganism. There are interviews on Marxist Economics, Reconstructionist Paganism, Critical Theory, and Marxian Anarchism coming to the blog.  Oddly, the first part and the second part of this paragraph are related.

This year, for me, it is time to start building both the theory and the action: Times they are a-changing, and like the book-ends of my twenties, we’re going to change with them.
