College Playlist
Last night, with the help of my friends, I embarked on a deep, dark journey. I, for some reason, was determined to come up with our “College Playlist.” This would consist of the songs that we played very loudly over our stereo system at parties and while playing ping pong. Because those are the only two things we did in college — partied and played ping pong. I came up with...
The best album I've listened to recently
Full disclosure — this isn’t a new album. Not even relatively. It came out in 1977, but I listened to it for the first time a few weeks ago. I’ve rocked out to it a bunch lately.
If you have a bit of time and don’t mind some hard rocking, punk-ish stuff then go listen to Iggy Pop and James Williamson’s “Kill City”. You won’t regret it.

The first six days of 2012 in music
For whatever reason, I started 2012 by going back and listening to some of my favorite albums from my youth. I reached beyond my undergraduate days to my early days of listening to music. While many of my close friends probably consider some of my music tastes sophomoric and over-the-top (e.g., a serious affinity for Huey Lewis and the News), I started listening to serious music early. When I...
Just a standard convo with Reckner
The beginning of law school finals signals one thing, and one thing only, to me — dressing like a slob. All semester long, including the weekends, I wear button-down shirts, nice jeans or khakis and nice shoes. For some reason, when exams begin I start wearing the same thing over and over again. The same pair of khakis will be worn until unbearable. Even after exams are over, I...
Favorite movies of 2011
I know, I know — it’s 2012 — everyone is so over end-of-year lists. But I told everyone I would post my favorite movies, and I am a man of my word. Here’s the deal, I didn’t watch a ton of movies in 2011. In 2010, I saw every movie nominated for Best Picture. I watched a bunch of movies my movie-snob friend Britt told me to watch. This year, for whatever reason,...

A recent post Reckner put up on evaluating her 2011 New Year’s resolutions. Just a taste of what she will be offering. As you can tell, much more insight and thoughtfulness. Did someone just ask for a cat GIF or a picture of a leather chair? OK be right back.

Big, big announcement -- Reckner debuts blog
Friends,
Today is a big day. As I mentioned a few months ago, Reckner has been thinking about starting a blog. I, of course, have been very supportive of this. She is much more creative than I and a much better writer. My greatest concern, naturally, is that her blog will be way cooler and more popular than mine. But that’s something I am just going to have to deal with.

New Year's Resolutions
I do not typically make New Year’s resolutions. However, this year I decided to. I didn’t want to make huge resolutions that were unattainable. I’ve found that many folks do this and then they go to the gym for three weeks and then just get fat again. My resolutions all stem from one topic (focusing) and all seem quite attainable. So here you go.
(1) Focus
This is the...

I apologize...
… for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been traveling for the holidays and finishing my bar application. I’ll be back soon. I promise.
