Proof that the end of the world is nigh part II

People are actually accusing a dog of biting a 200lb football player who fell on him when the play went out of bounds. Imagine that. A dog that defends itself when stepped on. WTF do they expect the dog to do, roll over and play dead? I guess this controversy sheds light on the rumor that Southerners are more inbred than their canine companions.

Why I am not a "Republican"

Michael J. Fox is being criticized for "exploiting" his disease by endorsing two Democratic Senate candidates who back stem cell research.

[enter Rush Fucking Limbaugh, M.D.]


Rush Limbaugh, in the usual tactless Republican demeanor said that MJF was embellishing his body swaying, a symptom of Parkinsons Disease, during the filming of the endorsements.

I fail to see how MJF is exploiting anything. By backing a couple Senate candidates, MJF is merely aligning himself with candidates likely to promote cell research; the only chance MJF really has to extend his already shortened life.

Had MJF merely said "vote for these guys because im a celebrity and i endorse them", then there would be cause for criticism. MJF didnt though, and merely urged the apathetic public to vote, suggesting the corresponding country wide impact of voting.

The fact that Rush and other Repubs feel the need to criticize MJF for this is purely abhorrent.

Perhaps im wrong here? This is why I will never call myself a Republican. I may vote Red when the time comes, but only when the candidate transcends the ignorant and unchanging stereotype that prevails modern conservative republicans.

End Rant.

Resume Padding

I need a creative way to articulate on my resume that I have a dog and enjoy playing with him. Employers gush for men who can take care of an animal. Or is that chicks? Either way, "dog-lover" just sounds gross. Throw me a life vest here.

If i listened long enough to you, I'd find a way to believe that its true...

I'm bored, not republican, and dont have much to say today. Life is short, play hard. Just do it. There's no I in team. Tyson's feeding you like fam-il-y. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

All apologies

I did something today that i've never done before. At first it was hard, and I wasnt sure i could go through with it. Against better judgment, I did it anyway. I doubt anyone will find out, but i wanted to vent about it here because i feel guilty. All interested parties gave consent, and im pretty sure its not a crime in this jurisdiction. Sometimes you just have to give way in the heat of the moment.

I voted Republican.

Under the bridge

The most intriguing thing about life to me is how unpredictable it is. We all have visions of the future, but I have been consistently amazed, and humbled, at how often my life completely changes.

I fell in love with a new city this weekend- Seattle. The atmosphere, the culture, the people, and the chance to start fresh but still remain close to my family and friends. Perhaps a job awaits me there?

This weekend also saw my Beavers beat UW by 10 after starting the game as 11 point underdogs. The Beavers looked persistent, a character trait that is obviously omnipotent in any application.

Spent time with some good friends, ones that will always be close at hand. It was only a matter of time before their perspectives and positive outlooks rubbed off on me. Many recent wounds have been mended, especially with their help.

I am a changed man. A centered man. More importantly, I am smiling, looking forward to what the future holds.

Everyone loves a townie!

See you at tha Crossroads

I briefly spoke with Kobe's agent today. He gave me some encouraging and helpful advice on becoming a sports agent.

The gravity of the next few months is starting to weigh in. By March I need to figure out which bar im going to take.

Off to Washington to see my Beavers stomp some Husky pride. Stay classy.

Halloween 2006

The perfect costume is proving elusive to me this year. This is what i have so far. Any suggestions?

Cha-Ching

In pursuit of a sports law job, yours truly has an informational interview with the agent of none other than THE KOBE BRYANT. Go me. Its my birthday.

Your momma dont dance and your daddy dont rock in roll.

A lawyer lectured today in sports law about a high-profile drug testing case he argued before the US Supreme Court. When asked what it was like arguing in front of the Supremes, he replied, "Just like arguing in regular court, except with sour cream and tomatoes on it."

Discuss.

Go Beavs

I met with Career Services to talk about the job market. I was greeted with encouraging news which was exactly the shot in the arm I needed. Also, I registered a couple student bar associations to boost my networking skillz. Not to be confused with my bow staff skills, or my numchuck [sic] skills.

Im off to see the new Jack Nicholson flick, then tomorrow to see my Beavers stomp (yah right) the Cougars. Have a safe weekend everybody.

Alright. Good talk.

Giffy

This is how i feel today. Need i say more?

The job search.

Its kind of strange how your best intentions can sometimes turn out the opposite of how you planned. You may have seen your life going in one direction only to find it twisting another. The job search has been fruitless so far so I have expanded my search to many other states. Perhaps my future job lies in Chicago, California, Arizona, Texas, Ohio or Washington?
