DAILY DOSE: "My Head is Giving Me Life or Death-- but I Can't Choose."
Welcome to a brand new era-- and this time, I mean it.
I'm writing to you from my spanking new digs, the Pimp Shaq known as "2107 (three times, three times, three times better than 707," as I present to you the first Honest-to-God legit posting since Bar Prep began.
Ahh, how it feels to have my brain getting back to normal. I never expected the Bar process to so totally melt my brain, and so utterly destroy whatever vestiges of creativity I was able to escape Law School with. So first off, I suppose apologies are in order to all those that kept visiting the Kingdom, and found little to nothing of consequence over the past few months. More importantly, however, is a special thanks to all those out there who have kept on keepin' on, and dutifully checked to see if I had anything stupid or melodramatic to say. Nice to have constant support-- even nicer to see you never left (now do your part and get everyone who left to come back!)
The last few months have been chalk-full of exciting, life-changing events. So where does the Life of apk stand now, you wonder? Here's a quick recap:
1) I start my career next Monday, working for a mid-sized firm in the City of Champions that seemingly offers me what I can only describe as my "dream law job coming out of school." I'm thoroughly exctied to get rolling, though, in truth, I'm a little scared and awestruck at the thought of becoming an full-blown grownup.
I can't really get into any depth about The Firm, because I'm going to try my damndest to keeping The Kingdom and my career as seperate (and Googleproof) as possible (so that I don't have a) discontinue the blog or 2) lose my job, but, I will add that one of my very-best friends from law school was hired along with me, and will be started next Monday as well. Let's just say that her name starts with a "J" and ends with an "eanie." Good stuff...I hope.
2) I've just recently moved out of house in the 'Fo, and into a condo on the other side of the city. I've moved in with very special Elise and her friend Julie, pulling duty as Jack Tripper. If anyone out there wants to refer to me as "Tripper," by all means, feel free-- it makes for a sweet, sweet nickname. Party at our place on Friday at 8, 80's Theme dress requested. Email or call for details/queries.
3) I've been playing on Gavin's softball team out in the South Hills all summer, and have done more than hold my own with a pretty talented squad. We're the Joe Tables, and we're headed to the playoffs, I'll keep you posted.
Moving on, I'm going to hit the hay and try to wrap this guy up with the first Song of the Day in some time. It is, of course, "Best of You, by the Foo Fighters. I'm not even a big Foo Fighters fan, but I just absolutely love this video. It's chaotic and powerful and perfect in so many ways, I could write a whole column about it, but I probably won't... Actually, that could be a good idea for a type of gimmick-- don't let me forget about that. The lyrics are pretty good stuff, and do a good job (as most Songs of the Day are wont to do) of summing up a lot of the conflicting feelings I have these days concerning the usual "should I stay or should I go?"-type concerns. Basically, I'm a big kid, with a big kid place, and a big kid job, and I'm ready to start sharing all that stuff. The question is how long I can keep holding onto a dream, and keep fighting the good fight. For now, I think "a little bit longer" is the best I can come up with.
Anyway, things'll really start to pick up around here later this week as re-figure-out how to put together one of these entries. It's like starting from scratch. Don't worry-- I'll be back later with a full-on story detailing D-Ox Reunion 2K5, also known as the Taylor/Mary wedding. Let's just say that it was just shy of phenomenal, and leave it at that...
okay-- Marc went Snipe Hunting, and that's not even the best story from the trip.
If that's not a teaser, I dunno what is.
Hang tight for the pleaser, it'll be here soon.
