ou know, all in all, today was a back and forth day. I have another thing to love about Madison to post, but I'll save it for another time.

I started off the day in a pretty shitty mood, as my previous post suggests. Then, I got some work done, which actually made me feel a lot better. Although the process was long and tedious, I'm proud of the final product.

Then, I went to dinner with my friends, and the day hit its high point. I love hanging out with that group of people, and a fish fry is always a good time. Then we watched a movie and just hung out.

Then Elise and her friend and I went to some bar where Elise's friend's friend was. I just went along because no one else was doing anything and I didn't feel like coming home. Elise and I got to talking, which was nice. Unfortunately, the conversation kept turning towards rather unpleasant subjects. But the fact of the matter is that Elise and I both have our nonemployment on our minds, so it's a natural thing to discuss.

So then I dropped Elise off and drove home (I got fucking pulled over on the way, which sucked, but I only got a warning, which didn't suck so much). On the way home, I started thinking: what if I won the lottery like Hurley on Lost? What would I do with all that money? I mean, sure, I'd make sure that my family was incredibly well taken care of. But what would I do with my life?

I thought about it for a while. I know exactly what I would do if I had $100 million and never had to work another day in my life: I'd start a law firm. I'd be a lawyer. I'd round up Mr. Utah and Mr. Vice and Mr. RPM, and I'd say "Let's start the best motherfucking law firm the world has ever seen." I'd go to work every day, I'd hang out with my friends, I'd work hard for our clients, I'd love being in court, I'd love getting good results for people. I'd love being a lawyer. And I'd be fucking great at it. Maybe I couldn't be a law professor, maybe I'd never get appointed to the federal bench, but I'd be a hell of an advocate for my clients.

So why can't I even get a fucking screening interview? I don't know. But it's the worst feeling I've felt for a while.

The title of this post is misleading. Where's the sexy footage, already?

Yeah, sorry about that depressing conversation. I've resolved to stop talking about how I don't yet have a job. Every time I catch myself doing it, I try and think of a good pop culture subject to discuss. So far it's working ok, although now I know way too much about pop culture.
