It has been a while . . .

Wow, times flies when it is the end of the year and when you are having fun. So, let’s catch up.

Winning a criminal trial is exhilarating and doubly so, when it is an armed robbery trial. As a public defender, you are expected to lose. In fact, you lose a lot of your cases, because the evidence is so overwhelming against your clients. So, when you win a case of such magnitude, it energizes your entire being and gives you the faith to push on and fight another day. It is sort of like when Appalachian State beat Michigan or Stanford beat USC, it gives you the belief that you can fight and you can win, despite the odds.

UGA 31 GT 17 – Watching this game was fun. I had a couple of Tech fans talking trash to me before the game. As the game progressed, I held up seven fingers and I never saw fans of the North Ave. trade school get so mad. Seven years in a row. God, I will miss Reggie and Chan. Now, so, Taylor Bennett is going to have to run the triple option next year. Eight years in a row sounds damn nice. Cannot wait to then.

The BCS is full of shit. Last year, certain people were advocating that Michigan go to the title game, even though they did not win their conference. But, UGA ain’t good enough to go, even though they did not win their conference? Hey, can you name the one top 25 team that Ohio State played? That’s right kids, it was Illinois. And what happened? Ohio State lost. But they are in the game. LSU loses both times when they were #1. Yes, Les Miles, LSU did not lose in regulation this year, but it should say something when the #1 team cannot win in regulation against UNRANKED TEAMS.

UGA v. Hawaii – expect for the next few weeks the sports media gush over this team and hope that they beat the big, bad, ungrateful team from Athens. Screw that shit. I remember the 3rd best offense in College Football last year coming into Athens this year and only scored 14 points. Hell, the last WAC team that UGA played could not get more than 14 points on us. UGA is going to win. Period.

The office Christmas party was fun. My date, HyperMediocrity was stunning. I am lucky to have her as a friend. The food was wonderful. It is good to know that at 35, I can outlast my co-workers. Plus, I may look like an idiot, but I enjoyed dancing again.

    I am going to have to get out your way to hear all about your awesome victory. My victories have been piddly and lame so I need to be energized. I’m sure you can do the trick. I’ll give you a buzz when I’m headed out your way.

    I’m pretty sure OSU played Wisconson and Michigan while they were ranked this year, but you may indeed be right.

    I’m thinking about going to my office party with the hottest 1L I can find. Most would jump at the chance to go a medium sized law firm party, no? Just gotta convince the other clerks to follow suit (we like to stick together like that).

    Remember when UGA played Boisie St., and that Zobrowski guy got hit so hard he looked like he was gonna cry when he was on the bench in the second quarter? Good times. I’m looking forward to quite the concussive game for Mr. Colt… If he gets a chance to toss it, he may score a few on us, but I think Thomas Brown will get over 200 yards in this one. He really blows up at all the right times. He’ll totally crush their linebackers, that’s for sure. God help them if Richt gives the ball to Southerland more than 5 times in the first half. Their defense might not make it through the half.

    Business Organizations is a very evil class.
