CHHHHHIEFS

Well ladies and gentlemen, after a long wait, football season is finally upon us. How can it take so long?

But here we are, with the Chiefs ready to take the field for their first (fake) game of the season. Sadly I cannot watch it on TV, as the evil cable programmers are conspiring against me. Such is the life of a future world ruler.

It was a good weekend and it only seems to be getting better. After a midnight dip in the La Jolla cove and an afternoon meeting with the Deputy District Attorney, we've got the Chiefs tonight as well as Billy Idol. Wednesday night is the Death Cab for Cutie concert and Friday I leave for Vegas.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday night and beyond...


GO CHIEFS!

All I see
Are dark grey clouds
In the distance
Moving closer with every hour
So when you'd ask
Is something wrong
I'd think you're damn right there is
But we can't talk about it now

The Bar Exam Archives

I was finally putting the rest of my "bar gear" away and came across some of my scribblings and whatnot. I found a few poems I wanted to share:

Coffee and Easements
Hot Bubbles of Caffiene
Keep the Mind Awake



If I were a cat
I most certainly
Would still eat
Carne asada burritos



He dove into black water
With Confidence
Rocks can move when stormy
His sea has been long calm
*by Buzzy Trusiani



If I was God
I'd give Everyone
A giant Pinata
Filled with Jelly Beans
and Gummy Bears

the child at the restaurant
al fresco
she stares into
the shiny spoon
her reflection faces her
laughter flows like water
she is happy

Oh Heartbeat City Here We Come

Hello peeps:

What's new you ask?

Well first of all, can you name the band that the title references? (The answer can be found beginning tomorrow in the comments section.) This question is a new wrinkle to thememowriter. Hope you enjoy it.

Right now, I'm staring at the window, looking at my broken Jeep. Suddenly it won't start. A friend of mine is on the way over to try jumping it. Please please PLEASE work!

Today, I've been canvassing the job market, sending e-mails and letters to employers all over the place. I enjoy making contact with people, new and old. It's fun to have your name out there, and to have messages coming in, whether positive or negative.

HEARTBEAT CITY HERE WE COME: The first annual thememowriter trip to Vegas is only 2 weeks away. 84% of our readers voted that the trip would be an "absolute blast" while 14% were undecided. The details of the trip are yet to be completely determined, but the preliminaries look good:

Hotel: (Undisclosed, but it's gonna be nice and have a great view)
Transportation: Navigator limo, loaded with tasty spirits & lots & lots of ice
Dining: Who cares, as long as there are hot chicas to hit on
Entertainment: Lounges, casinos, nightclubs, swimming pools...you get the idea
Poker: You know I'm going to be playing a ton of poker. Watch out tourists!


To all of you out there...hang in there. We all have our good days and our bad days, but there's too much possibility out there to live with regret. Be comfortable with the decisions of the past, enjoy the present as much as you can, and look forward to the future.

Best wishes!

Stockholm

The past few days have been a bit strange. After all the time spent stressing over the bar exam, I've felt a bit of emptiness since it ended. Am I suffering from Stockholm syndrome?

I suppose in some ways it makes sense. If I had been starting a job right away, I probably wouldn't have had time to think about this. But because I have some time off, I have been wandering around in a daze. Preparing for the bar gave me a sense of direction. Now that direction is gone.

For now, I haven't decided what to replace it with. More on that to come.
