Well, with the employment situation slowly getting better (transitioning to freelance is no easy task), I think its time to move on to my next goal in life.. in politics. This week I am beginning the process of getting all the ducks in a row for a Borough Council run. I have a great network of support (thank you Temple Greek Life — who said fraternities and sororities are worthless), which has already brought me an endorsement from the Pennsylvania Young Democrats and the help of an already sitting councilman in Oxford, Pa.
It’s by no means going to be easy. I understand that. But hey I am in a period in my life where I am willing to take some risks for an ultimately bigger reward. Plus, I’m at the point where I’m saying, “hey, you’ve always wanted to do this, go for it!” Thus the whole snowboarding thing — which has been great fun 
Filing the nomination papers begins the week after my birthday, February 17, and runs a month. Then comes the petitions.. and ultimately the casting of lots, which is essentially a lottery for ballot position. This can be important, especially in local primaries. cause people just push buttons for some of those races.. and if you’re first, you just get a bump.
So we’ll see what happens.
