Return of the Law School Blogger: On Facebook and other distractions

I'd pretty much given up this blog for dead--nothing interesting ever really happens to me. Well, nothing that can't be condensed into a witty-yet-poignant Facebook status update. And I'm convinced, after long study, that the last thing the Internet needs is yet another self-important pseudo-intellectual blocking the tubes with his or her unedited bloviations on topics ranging from the state of the world (YnksRulz4EvaJrK and IHartRonPaul have some GREAT ideas about the economy--if only you people would listen) to the guy in Public Forum X who WILL NOT STOP ANNOYING BEHAVIOR Y. Ugh. The nerve of some people!

So why the return to the airwaves--or whatever it is that makes the pretty pictures of cats with calculatedly grammatically incorrect captions fly into the little metal box I haul with me wherever I go? It occurred to me that rather than talking to myself while I walk down the street, running into trees and signposts more frequently than one strictly should, and devoting large portions of class time to crafting Facebook status updates that perfectly capture my mood, I should just start writing my blog again. It seems like a good way to blow off steam. Follow-through has never been my special gift, so this may be the first and last post that I write.

At least, until I start running into trees again.
