The Blog Post

This post will explain the purpose of this blog. I have a name, but I'm not telling you. This is the internet people, anonymity is key. My pictures, also, will leave me more or less unidentifiable. I can't really be honest if anyone reading this knew who I was. Hell, I'd be surprised if anyone even reads this damn thing at all. I write it for myself more than anyone else. A journal. Here's what you need to know about me:

I'm a 26-year-old lawyer with a penchant for pained, angsty, impossible relationships. I graduated law school last year, having sailed all the way through from kindergarten. I'm currently studying for the bar exam in my spare hours outside work and am keenly aware of the competitive disadvantage I face against the full-time BarBri devotees. I work at a job with an ironclad expiration date and will soon join the unemployed masses to mire through this horrific economy, hoping to find a gig that pays the electric bill. Want to know more, read my profile when I get around to creating it. But you probably won't find anything that interesting. Really, who gives a fuck what my favorite movie is?

If you're bored enough to stumble across this page, here's what you can expect.

1. English. Not l337 speak, not nerd jargon. I will never replace the word 'you' with the letter 'U.' I think that if one can't bother to use proper spelling, grammar, and syntax in something he places in the public sphere then he shouldn't expect anyone to read his blithering blog.

2. Substance. I don't waste my keyboard or your time on my moods or feelings. When I do blog about my personal life, the post will have some kind of moral, message or theme. I'll write news analysis, book reviews, film reviews and on other current events or matters of interest of me.

Since I realize nobody will read this post until months from now (if ever), that's all I'm going to say at the moment. Bar study and ex-girlfriend angst awaits.
