Two Years to the Left of College Station

It has been two years since I first began blogging about political and social thought to the Left of College Station. Over these last two years the blog, like myself, has evolved. My views and opinions have been refined and redefined. These two years have seen barriers broken, milestones reached, and triumph and tragedy. The political landscape has shifted and shifted again.

During the month of June I will be taking a hiatus from blogging. I am taking a month to refocus and to reshape, to revitalize and rejuvenate. During the next month I will be spending time reading and researching, focusing on the long term development of both myself and the blog. When Left of College Station returns there will be even more in depth coverage of local and state politics, and there will be even more in depth commentary on social issues.

While Left of College Station is on hiatus, there are several blogs that I would recommend reading. The Texas Kaos and the Burnt Orange Report are both blogs to which I have been a contributor, and they both have excellent content and insight into Texas political and social issues. I highly recommend reading my fellow 89.1FM KEOS community radio talk show host’s blog Fair & Feminist. During her time in Palestine with Project Hope I recommend reading Texas A&M graduate student Kate Calle’s blog. Also, I recommend any and all of the blogs on my blog rolls, especially those that are members of the Texas Progressive Alliance.

Left of College Station will return on July 1st with more political analysis and social commentary, and in depth research and investigations. Also, if you would like to be a contributor to Left of College Station I would like to hear from you, send me an email and tell me what political and social thought you could add to Left of College Station.

Thank you to everyone that has supported this blog. Thank you to everyone that has commented on a blog post or subscribed to the blog feed. Thank you to my fellow bloggers who have linked to my blog post or put this blog on your blog rolls. I look forward towards spending another two years blogging about political and social thought to the Left of College Station.
