So, I got an email from Melissa asking Why I Blog...

I blog for a few reasons. The main reason is simply that there are some things that happen in my life that I want to share and talk about but I don't have anyone to share the information with. I have lots of friends but sometimes there needs to be a line between what you share with friends and what you don't. If you make your friends your counselors it can change the relationship. Sometimes I just need to talk things through and write them out so that I can really address the issues in my own way. Its like an acceptance module. But not all of my blogging is me having counseling meetings with myself. Sometimes, I just have realizations about the nature of the world and want to share them. Other times I want to bounce around a theory on the world. Other times I just find things funny and want to share them. Part of the beauty of a blog is that one is not really aware of ones audience. Anytime I write something I have no way of knowing whether no one will read it or if dozens of people will read it. While I aspire for my blog to be a witty insightful view on life with thoughtful pieces, it just isn't that way for a few reasons. First, if I only blogged when I had something to say intelligent, I would fall out of practice of blogging. Blogging is something you have to be dedicated to lest one only publish like 3 times a year. Second, I need my blog to be more personal than that. The thoughtful retrospective pieces seem a little to detached. Lastly, I don't have the patience for that. When something occurs to me, I am either at the computer writing it out quickly, or I have this masterful plan thought out and I just blow it when it comes time to blog. Anyway, this is why I blog.

The Matrix has me Went to see it last night. Might I suggest that you see it twice? First year philosophy to the nth degree. I got lost in complexity of the concepts. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I will just say this: If you watch it and understand the scene with the Architect write me and let me know what you think it is all about. All I can say is that the action scenes kicked ass and that the special effects were really good (except the scene where Neo fights the horde of Smith's with the pole which you have seen bits of on TV). Anyway, go see it, then go see it again.

Limited Travels Being as I am hip-high in PMBR, I haven't been able to cruise too much. But, I did find these little tidbits....

The Hosemonster has named me an honorary hosemonster. Mr. Pule has made a disturbing prediction regarding the safety of living in So. Cal. And finally, the Hater is in PMBR too (and doing about as well as can be expected.)

I wish I had a writing sample. You'd think 3 years of law school and 2 years of work would have produced ONE non-embarrassing writing sample. I am thinking of submitting my law poetry. That should impress.

PMBR It's almost 9am and the begining of 3 months of bar review courses. I don't feel good about that. Grades haven't come out yet, and I am a bit apprehensive about those. I drove to Bend this Saturday to mow my moms yard for mothers day. She wasn't there when I arrived, but she got home at like 3 am. I then made her breakfast in bed the next day. I had also made her a cheesy web page earlier in the week, but being as I have no HTML ability what-so-ever it is as good as it gets. Had a fun game of Ultimate on Sunday, but we lost a close one. My legs were dead tired at the end of the night. Oh well, the PMBR guy is starting his spiel. Gotta run.
