Happy New Year to You, Happy Blogiversary to Me

January 1, 2008 5:08 PM

nd so another year comes to an end and Here is No Why enters it's third year. 2007 was a huge year for me and for the blog. Here's a rundown of some of the more popular or interesting posts from the past year.

January
Happy International Here is No Why Day!
Unlike this year, I actually went home for the holidays last year. I spent New Year's Eve with my family, and it was a pretty fun time.

The Last First Day. A lifetime of being a student started to end, and I was feeling pretty confused and scared and excited by the whole thing. And I was so hopeful. We know how that turned out . . .

February
What a Disappointment.
I didn't used to be into football. That's a strange thing that changed. I also still maintain that Prince's performance was terrible.

Great News and a New Poll.
There was a lot of awesome new entertainment in 2007, and I was particularly excited about The Smashing Pumpkins' new album and the last Harry Potter book. As it turns out, Zeitgeist was one hell of a disappointment, but Deathly Hallows was fucking awesome.

March
The Kaplan Thing (Updated).
The whole Kaplan thing was an overblown debacle, and the longer it went on, the more I started thinking that the students were full of it. But perhaps the most outrageous thing was the spineless way in which the school administration dealt with it.

Hall of Fame.
Law Revue the show happened, and this was one of the better sketches.

April
Spring Break.
'Nuff said.

"Things Are Gonna to Change . . . I Can Feel It".
The end of Friday-night poker was a turning point in my young life.

May
My Plan for the Next Thirty-Six Hours.
Graduating from law school and doing all the related stuff was awesome, but it was exhausting, and I was ready to collapse after that weekend.

Tarantula.
The new song by The Smashing Pumpkins was decidedly underwhelming. And Paris Hilton was involved. What the fuck?

June
Fuck You, Universe! You Can't Beat Me!
This summer was a huge pain in the ass for more reasons than one. This day was particularly trying.

I'm Like a Piece of Trash.
I admitted for the first time--but not the last--that I was freaked out by the whole being an unemployed lawyer thing.

July
Zeitgeist.
Lots of things happened in July, and the release of a new album by The Smashing Pumpkins definitely counts as big news, even if it was pretty shitty.

At Least I Wasn't Wearing My Superman Ones.
I took the bar exam, which I had spent the entire summer preparing for. And while all of that was terrible, this story was kind of funny, I though.

Best. Book. Ever..
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows finally came out and, unlike Billy Corgan, J.K. Rowling did not disappoint.

August
35 Percent.
I went on a date and, as it turns out, was way too optimistic that she'd call.

Embracing My Destiny.
Unemployment started taking its toll.

Also, I turned twenty-six, although I don't remember what I did for my birthday and I didn't post anything about it.

September
Psych!.
Larry Craig is a fuck up, and I made fun of him.

"Wouldn't Hold out Much Hope for the Tape Deck, Though."
My fucking car got stolen!

October
The seXterra Abides.
I got my car back.

C'est la Vie.
I found out that I passed the Illinois bar, although my post about it was less than clear.

November
By the Power of Grayskull!.
I was admitted to practice law in Illinois . . .

Ismael Tapia II, Esq.
. . . and then Wisconsin.

December
The Ultimate Cure for Depression: Food.
Excellent food and great friends make for a good time, even if you're generally feeling pretty shitty about yourself.

There but for the Grace of God . . . .
Mr. Vice and I decide to head out on our own. Hopefully, the story of Tapia & Vice's rise to the top will occupy a large part of my blogging for 2008.

In any event, happy new year, everyone.
