So this is my new blog. A while back, I had one with a friend, Mike. You can still see it here. The gimmick was that we were great friends from a long ways back, and he was liberal and I was conservative. It was actually pretty good for a while; you could find some funny, clever, original-ish stuff there, if you were willing to dig for a bit (but why would you?). I'm confident in saying that at one point, our readership hit at least the low teens. But then, we both became impossibly busy, and I became very much a moderate, which isn't nearly as entertaining. So it died. It's been dead for a good long time now.
But it was, in its time, a great way to waste time. And now Mike has started his own blog, here, and he's clearly wasted an enormous amount of time on it, and it reminded me of how great that was, the time wasting. And now that I'm a third-year law student in my second semester, I imagine I'll be looking to waste a lot of time over the next two months. And thus, I expect that I'll be wasting a great deal of that time right here.
This time I'm going gimmickless. I imagine I'll talk a lot about the last days of law school, and then a lot about the first days of lawyerliness. Every now and then I'll make up a word, like "lawyerliness," that doesn't even really fit the context in which I'm using it. I'll make numerous attempts at humor, and share a lot of things I find funny that I can't take any credit for. I'll talk a little bit--but roughly as little as possible--about news and politics and the like. My favorite topics at the other place were baseball and movies, and I expect there'll be a little of both of those too.
It's also possible that I'll completely neglect this and never do any of the above. Our futures are all a mystery, etc.
Just so you can see how dumb I truly do look, here's a picture of my beautiful wife and me at the Barrister's Ball a week ago:
FIN.
