I looked at this piece on The Atlantic in which Ta-Nehisi Coates is responding to the question of whether he still plays D & D or not. I can identity with what he's saying about not having the time or energy to participate in gaming,comic book etc. I still engage in these activities but I don't have a lot of the same passion for them like I once did it seems to have waned a bit as I focus on other endeavors. Gaming and those other interest still do matter to me and I consider them important and have made great friends because of them,but as time goes on it gets harder to manage everything you'd like to do with what you need to do. Sometimes I feel I spend too much time on games and such and other times I feel that I'd like more time for those activities. Ultimately I'm just trying to find a balance between work & play.
On a different note indie musician Adam WarRock released a free track titled "Ta-Nehisi"
named after Coates a more serious track than the ones he's most talked about. WarRock also included a post talking about his struggle with racial identity.
