The Abridged Cripple's Confession
Never breathing a moments unburdened breath, the resulting abomination of my existence seems a rather obvious conclusion. A fleeting moment of introspection might have avoided all this, but they endeavored to create me despite the corruption and inadequacy of their own being. Borne from them was the literal embodiment of irony. A creature unable to thrive but programmed to exist.

this is beautiful and sad... i hope its requited.
Seduced by the constant barrage of e-mails from the SG membership re-enlistment department, I thought I'd come back and take one last look around.
Apparently eveyone I knew has disappeared into the oblivion I just returned from.

Dueling Monologues
Why we insist on living within the comfortable illusion of human intimacy is perhaps existence's most confounding mystery. We engage ourselves in innumerable relationships and interactions, and, of course, what we perceive to be a requisite volley of conversant exchange. Whatever part of us it is that conceives the impossible amalgam of joy, desire, pain, want and pleasure also propagates an explicable need...

and what about you, how are you implicated? are you "divested?"

Memory Alone
I've recently come to terms with the fact that our lives are about action for memory rather than experience. We stumble about the brutal path of existence, falling all over ourselves and each other for even the faintest glimpse of an experience. Of course, we usually redefine or re-quantify our personal holy grails as aspirations, goals and/or dreams, but in the end they...

Thief Steals $75,000 Worth of Bull Semen
WOLFSVILLE, Md. (Nov. 2) - Someone stole $75,000 worth of bull semen from a Frederick County farm, the sheriff's office says. Eric Fleming said the six small canisters of frozen semen taken from a liquid nitrogen tank represented four to five years of collection work.
He said he had planned to sell it and use the proceeds to expand his breeding herd of shorthorn beef cattle.
"I'm so depressed about this that I probably will get out of the cattle business," Fleming said Tuesday.
He said he found the semen missing from an outbuilding on his Stonewood Acres farm in northwestern Frederick County Sunday night.
Fleming said the canisters held the semen of 40 to 50 bulls.
I thought this would make you smile big*
hugs from downtown

On Death
Some would say we are a society preoccupied with death. The fact is we are not nearly as concerned with death as we should be. We live in an almost constant malaise of denial about our mortality. Death becomes like a 30th birthday to a twelve year old--a fate so distant as to approach fiction. Oh, but it is coming my friends. Hard...

The Trespassed Penis
It happened today. Anheiser-Busch finally got me. I always assumed my intellect would serve as the psychological equivalent of an SPF 50 to the constant death-ray of primtive corporate advertising. That is, until about five hours ago.
It was quite sad, really. I saw it happening in what seemed to be slow motion. Car passes Budweiser billboard, eyes look up toward said...

That is a mystery I can't answer for you, although I've noticed the same thing myself (hence my sporadic presence around these parts lately). But then I'm not paying to be here, either.
Finals went... well, they were rough. My worst semester ever, academics-wise, but given everything else I had going on at the time that's not much of a surprise. I'm hoping to pull up the GPA this last year, to salvage my pride come graduation if nothing else.
Re: desire to be a barrister -- yes and no. Do I still want to practice law? Sure. Do I want to be a trial attorney? Less sure. I was told by one guy that he didn't think I had the "meanness" to run a trial, which planted a few doubts in my head. Granted, the guy was a little off on a lot of other things too (broad generalizations about women/minorities that he seemed to think were gospel truth, among other red flags), but it's enough to get me wondering whether I wouldn't really be happier doing something a little more reclusive and bookish. It is true, at least, that I don't particularly enjoy dealing with people, although I can put up a good stage presence when needed.
So, well, we'll see. Keeping options open and trying to interview as broadly as I can this year, both for large firms (which would be as bookish and research-oriented as I could take, I'm sure) and clerkships.
