At work, I parked the Black Stallion (my beloved SUV) on the side street today near the corner. Late in the day, an awful accident occurred where apparently one car was turning the corner at the intersection, only to get broadsided by a minivan that was either running a red light or didn’t see the guy coming. The car spun out of control and crashed into the parked car that was right in front of mine. The Black Stallion was mere inches away from getting plowed.

I don’t think I’ll be parking by the corner anymore.

So how are ya Linc?

Well, gee let’s see here, I’m eating triple chocolate Nestle ice cream, which has melted messy drips onto my keyboard and sullied my what used to be brilliant white t-shirt, checking my email every 15 seconds in the vain hope that the girl I just contacted on Match.com will soon get back to me, even though it’s been 10 days already and she’s probably married by now, so I am left to face yet another cold dark night by myself with only my pillow girlfriend Isabella to keep me warm.

How’s your night going?

I know I haven’t been blogging worth a skinny minny for the past few weeks, but I just have nothing to write about that would be appropriate for a blog. I usually spend most of my online time on a conservative forum, and I’ve met some great people there who genuinely make it a fun place to visit (no single hot chicks though). As a result, I have far less incentive now to blog here, where I generally have no audience, and where I’m simply unspired to write more than a paragraph or two of my personal thoughts.

My interest in law school has also begun to seriously wane as well. I simply don’t see the point in plunging myself $150,000 in debt for a career that I now only have a mild interest in. As much as my current job annoys me, I enjoy far too many perks now that I know I’d probably never enjoy again should I decide to become a lawyer. The whole idea behind my becoming an attorney anyway was to provide legal assistance to people at little or no cost, but more importantly, under MY terms (without having to toe the line with any firm that employs me). As I look at things now, I just don’t see how it could be done. I’ll wait until I hear from the local law school before I make a formal decision, but right now it looks like I won’t go through with it after all.

It may be that I’ve gotten too comfortable and complacent. Other than not having a social network or a girlfriend (which some people would say is a GOOD thing), I generally have everything I need: a beautiful car, a place to live, a smokin’ fast PC, a kick-butt laptop, and an easy going work schedule that allows me to work only four days a week. What more do I need really?

Instead, I should probably focus on getting myself healthy again and paying off all my debts, which is probably one of the best things I could do right now. If I continue to save for a year or so, I’ll eventually be completely debt free. That’s not an accomplishment many people can boast of, and it’s one of the things that preclude me from taking the law school plunge. Becoming debt free for the first time since I graduated high school, only to sink deeply once again into the red because I took the law school plunge is not something that sits well with me.

So as things are right now, my career prospects are at a standstill, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
