Last

Why I Do
I got into the Law because, frankly, injustice pisses me off. No, injustice is not “bad guys going free” and injustice is not “bad guys getting death sentences.” Injustice is three things (pers...

Apparently, I have a lot on my mind today. Which is good as there is a lot I want to get done today. But… of course… we’ll see how much (if any) I actually get done. Fingers crossed it is at l...

Briefly; But Not Too Briefly

Gr and Umph
I know my Wife hates her job and by extension the majority of her life but sometimes… damn. My wife turned 37 on Friday. This Sunday is Father’s Day. Wife works all weekend. This has upset her...
Impending Doom
This may be ridiculously inappropriate and I do not wish to become some Doom Sayer Depressing Man but.... I have the very clear, very unpleasant feeling that Michael J Fox is going to die soon. ...
This happens sometimes. Strangely more often, it happens in the summer months. But have you ever just felt… something come over you? A different identity? LIKE… perhaps you are just walking al...
Split Second
This morning… bah. Just today… bah. Didn’t want to go into work so I didn’t show up until 9. Still beat the bosses there by an hour. Did a lot but just… chicken with head cut off stuff. Got 3 ...
Chickaboom
So… I got into the office today at 7:45 Did a few paperwork things that each counted as .1 on the time sheet. Waited for White Boss’ client to no show which counted as 1 on the time sheet. Then… ...
Chilibow
Back to the Monday. And I agreed to cover a hearing for White Boss. Which means I was in the office around 7:45; in Court around 8:10. Luckily, my back has healed well. Still have the incisio...
Bits and Bits
I had a surgery on Friday morning to remove two lipoma’s from my back. The surgery was okay; the lipoma were very thick. But the doctor said I had very thick skin; so I suppose that makes sense...
Statistics, Doggos, and Mansplaining
Statistics: Cracked.com did a good Reader Submitted Photo Entry about how relationships in Hollywood are different from relationships in real life. Of course, they bring up the one I (tend) to f...

I’m not the only person here that feels like life is just chasing after illusory and ill-defined concepts until you die unfulfilled am I? Granted, that is a depressing concept but… if other peop...
Muppets & Fraggles
My sleep is all jacked up. So, previously… I’ve been waking up a lot in the night. Last night, I didn’t even get that far. I did not fall asleep until 3 a.m. This is not good! Just one more t...

Randomly writing because I am in the Satellite Office today. Good news of it is: No random unpaid bullshit. Bad news of it is: That means I only have my own client work to work on Worse news of i...
Sing My Favorite Phrase
Not at all surprised and not at all happy. I woke up several times through the night. Once at 2 am. Once at 4:30 am. Then finally at 5:45 am. At that point, I figured… fuck it. Got out of be...
Mixed Nuts
(1) Has anyone seen this movie (Mixed Nuts)? Steve Martin and a list of other celebrities. I loved this movie growing up. Which… may explain a lot. It isn’t exactly “Sponge Bob Goes to the Ma...
Hoops and Jumps
Sometimes… things go crazy. Lawyers are the kinds of people who (allegedly) are the ones that can find or MacGyver solutions when things go crazy. Not sure if we’re worthy of that distinction. ...
Random Blurb
Last week was tough. Thursday was a 15 hour day. I had to work all day Saturday. And… Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were… dead days. Thursday: 15 hours on one client. Friday and Saturday: al...
