Just some kid from the Chicago suburbs that moved to the southwest, went to law school, and ended up confronted with shifting ideals. My thoughts...boring and unedited.

tattoos, snow and attorneys - more useless crap...

i was thinking of getting a tattoo, only i am not a tattoo guy, so i have no idea where or of what. one of my friends from way back got a tattoo of the symbol for pi because he was a dork. always thought that might be the best tattoo ever. suppose i could get the breck symbol...put something on my ass...only then i would be accused of being too feminine by some people. does anyone have any ideas? something tasteful please...

it snowed at taos...an inch. wow. but there should be some big snows next week...guess ullr finally got word that we are dying down here while colorado basks in the most bountiful snowfall on record. i have only one request oh great ullr...hurry the fuck up. skiing is the only thing i have to enjoy about this hellhole, so make it happen.

i was finally getting my car un-rezed out (it's ok...some of my best friends are indian, excuse me, native american...hell, my roommate is...she's the one that told me my car was rezed out in the first place...which reminds me, is that spelled right?). didn't last too long. although i can finally see out of the windshield, with a new windshield and new tires and working brakes i thought the car was missing something. so i backed into a fire hydrant and put a big hole in the bumper (on the passenger side too, because there was no damage over there, it was uneven). now it is bolted on and ducktaped closed...good shit. maybe i'm losing my cracker roots and sliding down towards white trash. and yes, there is a difference.

one of my closest friends is in ireland, my best friend is in peru...i am jealous. maybe it is just the horror of living in the southwest too long, but i've begun to consider leaving the country...never thought i would get to that point.

there are entirely too many attorneys in this country...but not enough working at the public defender's office. maybe we could begin a shift...seeing as how every time some place "cracks down on crime" they inevitably forget about the constitutional requirements that go along with that...things like effective representation, right to speedy trial, the stuff the press likes to refer to as "technicalities"...of course if the "technicality" involved is a different constitutional right, like say freedom of speech...they go fuckin crazy.

but my point is...stop suing damnit. let it go...things happen, it doesnt mean you need to be heard or need to be paid. someone is suing the city of las cruces because there is a cross in it's sign...because that makes a big difference in people's lives...if you are going to waste time and taxpayer money...make it worth it, fight for something important...please. and to members of the bar...stop taking these bullshit cases.

i've been considering a move to private investigator...seems like it could be a fun job...seems defense attorneys go that route, although not sure i want to do anything that may require me to be armed.

is it too late to save this country? is it too late to take back washington from the greedy fuckups that have infested the place? is it too late to right the ship before it goes down like all the others before? do i need to start wishing i was chinese? or maybe life will be better as just another failed superpower...too bad the transition will be in my lifetime. wish i could've made it through the good days...although i won't complain seeing as how most of the rest of the world lives.

the damn sun is out again...if anyone has pictures of a nice grey winter sky...i would appreciate a copy.

when you need directions then i'll be the guide...
