Situational Blogging

So I’m sitting in the room we have our largest class in (next to two smart and snarky ladies) and the its between classes and they left the microphones on in the room. So one guy is talking and either he doesn’t realize or doesn’t care that he’s being picked up by the microphone and he’s talking and I can hear it clear as day…. and he just swore over the system.

Ah law school. When I kill time I blog.

Iowa at last

Made it! More later, if I have time.

Today’s Funny Cat Video (it’s a short one).

I am Destiny

Welcome to my new blog, Iowa Law Guy. Those of you who know me know that I’m neither from Iowa or a lawyer… at least not yet. That’s why I’m starting this blog. In a very short time I will be loading up the car with the last of my stuff and putting in an 8-hour drive south along some of the flatest land in this country, one sprouting corn and wind farms until I get to Des Moines Iowa. Once there, I’ll be spending a lot of money setting up utilities, internet access and making sure the pilot light doesn’t go off on my stove. Oh yeah, I’ll also be attending Drake University Law School. Now you know the reason I named the blog Iowa Law Guy.

So what’s the big deal? Well I’m leaving people behind, even a few I care about. This blog is a way to keep in touch with them and act as a little chronicle for my time there. I’m sure most of it will be late nights, caffeine pills and stress but I’ll be there for the Iowa Caucuses in 2008 so who knows what I might get up to. That’s another thing–one of the major things I discuss online is politics. So this might blog might get some of that up to. Feel free to comment on that when it comes up too. Oh yeah, also a pretty big baseball fan so I’ll be doing some “Base-Blogging” (as Amy Sullivan says) from time to time, or at least as long as the Twins are in the Wild Card chase.

More importantly, I control my own destiny. No debt, opportunity, all that stuff. I’ll stand or fall depending on my own actions–and that’s something I know most people don’t get to do very often. So let’s get started.
