It's Official...

Yes, it's official...I'm a freak...

I was going to use the "It's Official" title for a post this summer when I got my final grades and officially graduated from law school...

However, there was that Bar thing that took up almost all of my time this summer, so I never got around to taking a 15-minute break to post that I had officially graduated...

Instead, I will be using the "It's Official" title to point out the fact that I'm a freak, after having trouble sleeping last night--a Wednesday--due to my unbalanced anticipation for the start of college football...

And considering that my two favorite teams--Ohio State and Rice (in alphabetical order, of course)--don't debut until Saturday, it appears that I may be forced to drink a bottle of red wine the next two nights if I plan on sleeping at all...

Well, at least that bottle of red wine trick seems to work for Teen Wolf from time to time...And drinking both a bottle of red wine as well as a bottle of white (cue the Billy Joel song) certainly did the trick for me on the night of my last law school final...

I guess we'll have to wait and see...I'll keep you posted...

All Suffering Soon to End!

Or something like that...

That was the title of the pamphlet that two Jehovas Witness women gave me when they showed up at our front door yesterday morning (perhaps I can blog more about this encounter some other time)...

Yet, the suffering that I'm referring to is these last few weeks of August that we've suffered through, waiting for college football to start...

And now, the first games of the 2006 season will kick-off in less than two hours, beginning a full holiday weekend of games...

So yes, all suffering is soon to end...Have a great holiday weekend everyone...

Losing Control...

After the Yankees' five-game sweep in Boston this past weekend, it would be hard to argue that anyone had a worse performance than the Red Sox this past weekend...

However, I think I may have found something even worse...Actually, I'm pretty confident that this is one of the worst performances that I've ever had the pleasure of viewing...

This past Sunday night, Teen Wolf and I tivo'd the Teen Choice Awards (or something like that) on Fox and we checked out the show's closing act soon after we watched Entourage...You see, the closing act was the world debut of the next great rapper, the one-and-only K-Fed...

Introduced by his pregnant wife--who yet again showed us how tacky she can be by visibly and annoyingly chewing gum as she made the introduction--Kevin Federline treated us to a performance of his new jam "Lose Control" (check it out here on YouTube)...

It's hard to explain my immediate reaction to K-Fed's performance...In fact, I looked over at Teen Wolf and neither one of us could had anything to say...To be honest, I think it was one of those rare moments--at least for Teen Wolf and I--where we both were speechless...

Granted, I was pretty tired and I had a lot on my mind--and not necessarily things you enjoy thinking about--so maybe that had an effect on my reaction to K-Fed's premiere...But still, the only thing I could say was "Awful," and then I walked out of the room...

Oh well, I'm sure I could keep going on this topic, but instead I think I should stop here before I lose control...

I look forward to seeing what's next from K-Fed, and I'll do my best to keep you posted...

I'd recently discussed with some friends the idea of putting together a list of the 'Top 5 Worst Places to Shart Yourself,' as I was pretty sure that I could come up with one or two definites for the list...Yet, I think that list is gonna have to wait a little while longer...

In the meantime, another list I've been considering is 'Top 5 Things I'd Rather Not Do Upon Returning from a Weekend at the River'...I don't necessarily know if I could come up with 5, but I'm pretty sure I could think of 3...

One of those three things would definitely be: 'Cleaning Out My Car (in the middle of the afternoon when the temperature was in the high 90s)'...This is especially true considering I had my fair share of Busch Lights the day--as well as night--before (among other things), and really just wanted to just lay on the couch and maybe catch up on some sleep after a fun weekend at the river...

Yet, you see, as I was being dropped off at home upon our return to Houston, we noticed that my trunk was wide open, and--upon further inspection--one of my car windows had been busted out...

So really I had no choice in this situation but to clean out my car, especially since it had been raining some already that day and the forecasts predicted more rain throughout the evening...

After cleaning out all the broken glass that I could get to, I then focused on all crap in the backseat of my car, including a random assortment of empty water and coke bottles that accumulated during my bar exam preparations, as well as a few pairs of shoes, a couple hats, and some other random junk...(I was planning on posting a photo of some of the glass that I had collected in one of the empty Starbucks cups in my backseat, but I think Teen Wolf threw it away before I could take the photo, thus preventing us from preserving this wonderful memory for all of eternity)...

After collecting all of the trash, my next step was to go through all of the stuff that was in my console and glovebox, and then hopefully assess the damage as to what exactly was missing...And this is the part that pisses me off the most...

You see, I don't think they took anything...I could be wrong of course, but I couldn't think of anything that was missing after cleaning out my car and going through all of its contents...

Basically, the jerkoff(s) busted out my window, probably saw that I had no cash/checks in the glovebox or console--and no laptop in the trunk--and so they then took off, leaving my trunk open for the rest of the night...

I'm sure the guys could have been scared off by a neighbor or maybe my ghetto car alarm was actually going off...I really don't know, however, as I've only been able to talk to one neighbor so far, and he didn't hear or see anything...All he saw was my trunk was wide open all of Sunday morning while he pruned his trees...

Since then, I've also managed to check with my bank, but no strange activity has occurred so far, although I should probably check again...

I also checked with another bank regarding an account that I rarely used, but I don't think they would've been able to access that account, as I've since found out that account has escheated to the state and I need to reclaim that 'abandoned property,' which is a whole 'nother story and whole 'nother blog...

Anyway, I was well aware that I needed to clean out my car soon...But still, I would've preferred not to have to pay $180 for a new window in the process...

Just in Case...

I don't know if I made it clear in my earlier post, but the term 'worst experience of my life' was the best way I could sum up and describe the over two months of preparation, mental challenges, endurance tests, rough sleep, stress, strains, and so on (and so on) that is involved when studying for--and eventually taking--the Texas Bar Exam..

And so on...

Worst Experience of My Life...

Considering it's been over two months since my last post, I really wish I could've titled this something along the lines of "Where You Been?" to help me explain my absence from this blog...

Yet--unfortunately--that was the title I used for my last post just over two months ago, when I attempted to blame my nearly three-week absence on finishing finals, starting Bar preview, and dealing with graduation...

So, yes, I needed to think of a fitting title for my first post in months, as I attempt to catch up with anyone who ever actually reads this...And the best thing I could come up with is "Worst Experience of My Life"...

Anyway, hopefully this is a good way to start things off, and then hopefully explain myself a little better over the next few weeks...I also hope to share some of the random things that are constantly floating around 'upstairs,' some that may or may not deal with current events...
