Hmmm. I have not updated my journal in a few days. I do not know what to write about. I could rattle off details of my job and the cases that I handle. Yet, I get tired of doing telling war stories. While I am an attorney, being an attorney is not all of who I am. Fortunately, my family and I are dealing with...

My name will be for now and forever, Bishop Don D. Flash. The Player Appericate page has dubbed me so.

I liked the idea of that place. Sort of cura personalis. They were looking to stem recidivism I suppose. I know I have their material laying around somewhere . . . .
I work with a guy who was a felony trial atty with the pd for a number of years. I sometimes wish I had embarked down that road to earn my stripes, but the place I work will do just fine I suppose. Before that he was the head of the Wisconsin ACLU. I help him on a lot of post-conviction and appellate work. Researching stuff for a brief to the WI Sup. Ct. right now as a matter of fact.

i can't remember whether that's where i went or not. i think it was. it was long ago on some class trip. i haven't fired a gun since i was much younger. and then it was this big ww2 bolt action rifle. it was fun. especially with all the soldiers staring at little me shooting the big noisy gun.

those are really cool.

laputa64:
the extreme lighting on those pictures actually makes it look like you used a red filter on black and white film. very cool
laputa64:
yeah the effect is just too cool when it comes to black and white filter. you can only use it a couple of times on color film without the effect getting old. i love filters though. they are so much easier to afford than lenses and give you an array of possibilities and new tricks to try. i never go without my UV filter and have been really looking for something to use my new soft focus filter on.
The last few days I have not been able to focus. My mind wants to wander just like it did when I was a child. I just want to play. I do not want to work. Is that so wrong?

That is not wrong at all.
To put it simple, work is dumb.

not wrong at all. i thinkl it is all of this nice weather. i find myself wanting to get out more and i get to feeling weird when im at work and keep looking out the windows at all of the sun and stuff
I love when people ask me what I do for a living. When I tell people that I represent the undesirables of the world, I can see the sheer horror in their eyes and it fills me with joy. Also, it is sheer comedy to see people wince when I tell them that I enjoy representing people like a drug trafficker and a kid with...

I love that song you posted in optimistress' journal! It's such a classic.

Let it snow? Damn. I wish I could say that. All I can say is "let it be windy and sunny! Let it be windy and sunny! Let it be....." ah, you get the picture....

Geraldine is so lovely! She has to have put up the classiest set ever.
Hope all is well!

The last few weeks have been stressful for me. I have had to deal with daily court appearances for almost three weeks. If that was not enough, I have to keep up with my current cases; I have to visit clients at the county jail; I have to convince clients and their families that I am not a social welfare agency; and I have to...

vent! sorry things are so stressfull for you.
mccaslin1977:
wouldn't it be unethical for a judge to say something like that to an attorney? their job is to pass judgement on defendants, not the people representing them. good luck with all that though.
but venting is what this little board is all about. if i didn't have SG, i would be yelling at a wall in my room. but that's just me.

bad day? hope you're feeling better now!
While most people will be trying to spend Valentine's Day with someone, I am proud to say that I am spending it with no one. I have spent too many years of my life trying to avoid this holiday. I am happy with my life, and there is not a damn thing anyone can do to make me change my mind.

The week has been strange. None of my four cases set for trial went to trial. On the first case, the State caved and gave my client a sweetheart deal. The second wanted a trial, but failed to appear for his trial. He was arrested and promptly blamed me. The third pled out. The fourth was continued because we ran out of potential jurors. And...

How do you blame your counsel for your failure to appear in court? Sheesh.

I want to hear your war stories, dammit! I know you're probably sick of telling them, but I came to law school with a clear idea that I wanted to be a prosecutor. I still do, but public defense work has intrigued me more and more lately. I'd love to hear the stories, if you ever feel like spilling...
I linked to your past journal entries too. I wish I could say something like I understand how you feel, but I don't. I think very few people do. I have nieces and nephews. It would absolutely destroy me if that happened. Hang in there, man.
The law is a jealous mistress. Its hard not to talk about it all the time. Anyway, I want to hear what 50% of the world hates you and why.
