I am compelled to say something. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I usually only write in this thing when I feel like I haven't in a while. This blog has started to feel like an assignment, a regular obligation. Like my column in college, for example. I had set deadlines that I had to meet, so it stopped being fun sometimes, especially when I felt that there was nothing to say.
But I see my friends and cohorts writing in their blogs about nothing more than the annoying thing that happened in the meeting today, or their favorite soda, or that funny comment their mom made, and these notes are wonderful and clever in their simplicity.
So if eloquence happens to pour out of me at a particular time, I'll welcome it. But instead of shutting up until I have something important to say, I'll just start talking. I mean, it never stops me in real life.

Asshole
Why are there so many ridiculous people out there?
With everything in today's world that we can choose to be outraged about, say, for example, the AIDS pandemic, why do we see people with more wealth and resources than us making a hot fuss about nothing?
Roy L. Pearson, a judge based out of Washington, was a little tiffed when Custom Cleaners, a drycleaning business owned by a South Korean couple, lost a pair of his slacks in 2005. Pearson, a man of justice, promptly sued the Chungs for $65 million.
While the pants were identified almost immediately (the ticket on the recovered pants matched his receipt), Pearson's fight was not over. He believed his rights had been violated and pushed on with a list of charges.
After two years of paying legal fees and attempting to settle with Pearson for up to $12,000, the Chung family is considering moving back to South Korea. They are out of money and frankly, the American dream didn't work out so well for them, despite their honest attempt.
This leads me to a simple conclusion: Roy L. Pearson, you're an asshole.
