Always Saying Too Much

December 30, 2003 (Tue)

Unspecified Male Friend: So, do you want to do her? Kevin: Nah, it’s not like that. Anyway, she has a boyfriend. Unspecified Male Friend: So? What does that change? Kevin: Yeah, I know what you mean.

Nobody’s Fault But My Own

December 24, 2003 (Wed)

Right now as I’m typing this entry, I could have been out with my work friends, watching Return of the King for the second time. That film, by the way, nearly had me in tears, it was so moving. Or, instead of a movie, I could have been out drinking with J (my Brett Ashley, [...]

Checking In

December 16, 2003 (Tue)

There hasn’t been much to say lately. The one thing that I’m supposed to be writing (a personal statement for law school applications) just isn’t flowing the way that it should.

More About Moore

November 13, 2003 (Thu)

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore got the boot today for his refusal to remove a monument honoring the Ten Commandments from the lobby of the state courthouse. When I first mentioned Moore in my blog, I was visibly irritated and admittedly antagonistic. But now that Moore is out of work, I can’t help but feel [...]

Thought I’d Something More to Say

November 5, 2003 (Wed)

Today I stumbled across an old, forgotten watch while cleaning my room. It’s one of those cheap plastic stopwatches with a rope to hang around your neck. I know it’s a time-keeping device and all that, but I was surprised to see that the lousy thing was still, well, on time (discounting the end of [...]
