Random noodling

:::Nothing to see here, move along...:::

Been thinking that there has to be more to life than this. I get up, I worry about how I'm going to pay my bills, I go to work where I wonder if I'm going to get paid or whether I'll even get work after this next contract, I go home. Sometimes I see my parents. Occasionally I'll go out with friends. Sometimes in a fit of get-up-and-go I'll make my way to the gym.

Wow. Thrilling, huh?

There has to be more to life than this. I have no passion, no real reason to get out of bed in the morning. Never have. My life doesn't really have a purpose beyond existing. I don't help other people. I'm not making the world better by living in it. I'm probably not hurting anything by existing, but neither am I helping.

Is that all that I'll be able to say at the end of my life? "Well, I never hurt anything with my life. Let me into Heaven already." :P

All my life I've chosen the path of least resistance. Whenever there was a choice to be made, I made the easy decision, the one which promoted the least conflict within myself. I deliberately chose not to make waves, not to rock the boat. And that's landed me here: mostly isolated (I still love all my friends, this isn't about you!), stuck up a creek without a paddle financially speaking, with no one and nothing that sparks any kind of vibrant passion for life, the kind that I've always craved.

I don't even know how to begin to find that passion, but it must be out there somewhere.

Am eating my yummy stir-fry.

My ex can go boil his head. I can too cook. In fact, ph34r my m4d l33t c00k1ng sk1llz!

I cook like a wanton cooking goddess.

I need a wok, though. This pan is not conducive to optimal stir-fry cookage.

I am now WantonCookingGoddess!Phnee.

How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?

Such number as may be deemed necessary to perform the stated task in a timely and efficient manner within the strictures of the following agreement. Whereas the party of the first part, also known as 'the lawyers' and the party of the second part, also known as 'the light bulb' do hereby agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (light bulb) shall be removed from the current position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed upon duties, i.e. the lighting, elucidation, and otherwise illumination ofthe area ranging from the front (North) door, through the entryway, terminating at an area just through the primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of the carpet, any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the second part (light bulb) and not required by the aforementioned agreement between the parties.

The aforementioned removal transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following steps:

1. The party of the first part (lawyer) shall, with or without elevation at his option, by means of a chair, step stool, ladder or any other means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part (light bulb) and rotate the party of the second part (light bulb) in a counter clockwise direction, said direction being non-negotiable. Said grasping and rotation of the party of the second part (light bulb) shall be undertaken by the party of the first part (lawyer) to maintain the structural integrity of the party of the second part (light bulb), notwithstanding the aformentioned failure of the party of the second part (light bulb) to perform the customary and agreed upon duties. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, both parties stipulate that structural failure of the party of the second part (light bulb) may be incidental to the aforementioned failure to perform and in such case the party of the first part (lawyer) shall be held blameless for such structural failure insofar as the non-negotiable directional codicil (counter-clockwise) is observed by the party of the first part (lawyer) throughout.

2. Upon reaching a point where the party of the second part (light bulb) becomes seperated from the party of the third part ('receptacle'), the party of the first part shall have the option of disposing of the party of the second part (light bulb) in a manner consistent with all applicable state, local, and federal statutes.

3. Once seperation and disposal have been achieved, the party of the first part (lawyer) shall have the option of beginning the installation of the party of the fourth part ('new light bulb'). This installation shall occur in a manner consistent with the reverse procedures described in step one of this self same document, being careful to note that the rotation should occur in a clockwise direction, said direction also being non-negotiable and only until the party of the fourth part (new light bulb) becomes snug in the party of the third part (receptacle) and in fact becomes the party of the second part (light bulb).

Note: The above described steps may be performed, at the option of the party of the first part (lawyer), by said party of the first part (lawyer), or by his or her heirs and assigns, or by any and all persons authorized by him or her to do som the objective being to produce a level of illumination in the immediate vicinity of the aforementioned front (North) door consistent with maximisation of ingress and revenue for the party of the fifth part, also known as 'The Firm'.
