Feeling Thankful

Here I am, on vacation, and I feel overwhelmingly thankful that I escaped the confines of this city I used to call home. I love seeing my family. I love seeing my friends, but the problem? A guy is sitting outside of this coffee shop bumping this



just like it's going out of style. Please note, it's not. It's not in danger of going out of style. Why? Cause it's been about 15 years since it was in style.

That's What's Up

Less than 2 hours and I'm California bound.

What I'm looking forward to?

My parents, my sister, Lobo (my dog), Old friends, every Kings game televised (although they'll be difficult to watch in their current state), sleep.

Later Texas. See you next year

Merry Christmas to Me

Thank you. You have no idea how much this meant to me.

Ridiculously Cute

I'm not an advocate for vulgarity. In fact, I've attempted to avoid swearing for the most part (except when I'm really upset), but if you love cute animals (or stern talkin to's), please visit this site - Not Safe For Work (NSFW) if your work comps can't handle swear words.

2 Years of Law School in Parking

I attempt to avoid parking tickets like the plague. Don't need a boot, don't need to take away money that I don't have. But alas, others aren't like me (nor do I expect them to be). The haste of the world we live in often chooses urgency over practicality.

But then there are those who somehow manage to outdo the average individual.

Alexander Kamish managed to rack up approximately $81,000 in parking tickets (count the zeros). Yes, in law school money, that's two years (where I'm from. But try schools like New York Law, or Santa Clara, where a year costs about $45,000 just in tuition - not even counting cost of living, which basically will double that number). Mr. Kamish is the #1 offender in the NYC. #2? He's way off, owing only $66,000 in tickets.

How did Kamish do it? 415 parking tickets in 4 years. Yes, nearly 104 parking tickets per year. I would crap my pants and cry if that happened to me.

Naturall, Mr. Kamish denies any wrongdoing.

"Basically, someone registered [the offending] vehicles under my name," Khamish said.

"I knew about this a couple years ago, but I didn't know it [involved an] $80,000 [debt].

"Someone did register vehicles under my name before I found out, but I was going back and forth with the DMV, and from the last I heard, I thought everything was OK."

That's the equivalent of saying "my dog ate my homework." Wait, scratch that. It's like saying, "I turned in my homework, but I think someone else stole it. I told the principal, and last I heard, I got an 'A' on the assignment."

Brilliant.
