A little bit of nothing

So, I am in law school right now and the best way to describe how I feel about it is with an analogy. Being in law school is sort of like having a prostate exam. Now, I have never had a prostate exam but from my understanding, it is a very painful, uncomfortable, and awkward experience. However, it is necessary if you want to be cancer free. Law school is painful, uncomfortable, awkward, depressing...and so on, but for me I guess it is necessary. Now Fitz and I have fought tooth and nail about this, but I do want a law degree. I do see great value in getting a professional degree, but the process is miserable.

This blog is comprised of a few good friends who have been scattered around after graduation. We are all in some sense trying to figure out our lives. 3 of us are making money doing that, and I am paying money, again. I am in Louisiana. "Home." I was really excited to come home. Contrary to the popular stereotypes there is great art, culture, and music in certain sectors down here. If you can ignore the hurricanes, occasional racism, and the mosquitoes (which are preventing me from being in my hammock right now) Louisiana is a sweet place.

The purpose of this blog is unclear and as of right now, I am not even sure if anyone else is going to sign up. But, I hope for it to be a place where we can stay connected, Tell cool stories, Rant about what pisses you off- or what makes you jingle, Talk about books, movies, music, art, anything. Basically I am feeling completely cut off from the world and quite frankly studying law is boring the hell out of me. I only have small amounts of times, so this is my effort to live vicariously through a few good friends and if need be, they can do the same.

A note about the picture: The title of this blog (until one of you comes aboard and changes it, which is totally OK) is a spin on a great book by John Kennedy Toole, The Confederacy of Dunces. This was one of the first books from the Sousa-Jones book club. The main character in the Novel is Ignatius O'Reily. He is an amazing character, sort of a modern day Don Quixote. Anywho, that is a picture of his statue in New Orleans under the awning of the Chateau Senesta Hotel.

That is all for tonight. I have one good story to tell, but I am tired and no body has actually accepted the invite to the blog, so I will save it for another time.
