White Trash, High City Living and Ms. Spears

If I was Britney Spears' attorney I would quit because you would have an idiot for a client. Her equally disfunctional soon to be ex-husband has sought custody of her kids and what does she do to demonstrate she is a good mother, she goes out to all hours.

What responsible parents and to top it all off, she is caught without wearing any undewear. You would think a person use to the papparazi would know that everything she does would be photographed and scrutinized. I had to write this once I saw the money shot. Unbelievable, I really don't know how the judge will rule what is in the best interest of the children. Hopefully, he will give custody to maybe the grandparents, however that is highly unlikely.

My Trip To The Big Apple

One word, Gluttony.

More Words: It was good to see some of my friends while others our schedules did not match up. I now realize why I have a policy when the temperature goes below sixty I will not run outside. It is because the cold air kills my lungs and causes me to build up mucus. Although I have this policy, my friend go me to run around Central Park and do sprints with him after. After I felt I had a cold pit in my throat not to mention the next day I felt sick and did not want to work out after work. However, instead I proceeded to do shots with the head honchos that lead to an awesome dinner.

The other thing I realized is this world is truly small. If you are in a certain field or reached a certain position in life you start meeting so many people. While I was up in NYC, I meet people that know some of my friends and vice versa.

Not All Texans Are Gentlemen!!!!

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my friend's house. He prepared an awesome feast, while, switched back and forth from the football games and the James Bond Marathon on Spike. Friday I had a big smile at work and everyone was asking why. I had no response, but deep inside I knew something was confirmed on Wednesday. A calm fell over me after a long difficult stormy game was played. It all came to a head Wednesday when I was nearly jumped because some self absorbed, inconsiderate, and insecure Texan mentioned he was going to have some guys beat me up. I don't know if the two aholes that tried to jump me did so on the Texan's suggestion, but I don't believe in coincidences. Just as Don Corelone, said in the Godfather when he was making sure Michael returned home safely, "If something should happen to my son, I'm going to blame some of the people in this room." Just as what happened to me I don't believe it was an accident and the Texan in the room certainly revealed his true self. The question is do I seek revenge or just let it go. I'm leaning towards just letting it go.

Unwelcomed Guests

By far a clip from one of my favorite shows:

Hail to the Victors Valiant....

Hail to the Conquering hereos....GO BLUE!!! Kick Brutus' Ass.

You Ever Have Those Days.....

that all of sudden, you say to yourself what the "hell" am I doing. As I lie here in my bed looking out my window wondering when the last red leaf will fall, I asked myself what do I want to do in life. Ever since I was a little kid everyone knew I was going to be a lawyer. I always wanted to be prosecutor, but the economics of the situation changed and so did my desire to be a slave to my work. It is interesting at the times in which we find ourselves reflecting on our lives.

For me it was a week ago that I was with my high school friends at on e of the last weddings of the group. It was great seeing all of them and the success they have in their lives and the expansion of their families. Great seeing their friends from college, especially the one that was on the front page of the Wall St Journal (Let's just say his wife might want to move from their town after I was talking and I do mean their town) As I was sitting at my table while most were on the dance floor, a sense of joy and sadness emerged. The joy was because of the above knowing my friends were happy in their lives and the sadness...... well I will keep that to myself. I've already heard enough about it.

So, twice in a span of week I now question the path I have set out for myself. Will I obtain my goals. My very nature is cautious as evidence that a lawyer never asks a question he does not already know the answer to. Is it time for me to take chances in order to be were I want to be in life. I'm already in my early thirties and I feel I need to accelerate certain things in my life. I just have to take the risk. No, I know I have to take the risk and invest some of my capital. Yes, the post is cryptic but then again I'm not the easy to follow.

P.S. Why does it seem that I always meet people from Texas? And why are most them hot and nice? I think they were raised to proper southern gentlemen.

So I voted today

I voted for the Republicans because I fear the Democratic policies will weaken our resolve to fight terror and the economy. I also voted against the Marriage Amendment because it banned absolutely any government entity within Virginia from recognizing a union that would give the benefits of marriage to same sex couples.

Interesting that 4 years ago when I was taking my bar exam a similar questioned came up. Back then I followed what the law stated, today I'm attempting to change the hearts and mines of the majority of Virginians.
