| So I'm sitting here, minding my own business watching Scrubs on Comedy Central. I'm happy despite my cold. I'm still buzzing from the reference to the U.S.S. Enterprise on from tonight's episode of Heroes (Hiro's dad, played by Captain Sulu, had a limo with NCC 1701 on its license plate).
Then, POP! and shrapnel. I thought, "what the fuck?" and then I noticed this:
This is first-year torts/products liability in real life!

| It's been a while. I have nothing much to say. I still check my xanga a lot but I rarely think of posting. There was a time not that long ago where I felt compelled to spill my angst out for all to see. I either got tired of that or there's nothing more to spill. Hopefully it's the latter.
Work has been very challenging but also very rewarding (even though I worked during both holiday weekends). I got a new car. I got a new girl. ;) I'm trying to keep everything in balance while still being a generally good guy. I admit it's difficult at times. This profession I'm in-- it's hardened me in a way. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing; it's probably good for me to lose some of my tenderness. In some ways I'm a bit of a country bumpkin. Even living in NYC for seven years couldn't get all of it out of me. But lawyering for a couple months has already made me much more savvy and street-wise.
Last year I wrote about New Year's Themes in place of New Year's Resolutions. Last year's theme was "the Year of Pleasant Surprises," and it was. I'm not saying I can will the year to adhere to my themes, but it primed my mind to notice when things unexpectedly went my way. In the same spirit, I christen this year "the Year of Grace and Prosperity." Now, you might be thinking that those two things aren't really related, and you're probably right. But I know I want both, especially with the way I've been working. I hope I don't get so calloused from work that I lose the good parts of my character that have been so painstakingly instilled in me by my family and, later on (but less effectively), myself. I also hope that all the hours and worry I'm putting into my job this year pays off. ;)
So with that in mind, let me start the new year. I wish all of you the best. May we make wise choices and have the courage to carry them through. | | |

| Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the posts. I've changed a lot in the past few months. You could say I lost my inspiration. Sometimes it felt more like getting the wind knocked out of me.
Lately life has been less painful (except for a pulled muscle that refuses to heal), and I just have more interesting things to do than xanga. I started work two weeks ago and I love it. I am so lucky for having found my firm. It's small in LA but big worldwide, so I can definitely leave a mark here. I noticed that a lot has changed since I worked there two summers ago, and all for the better. The future looks promising. :)
