Baby H

What a great thing, when a baby is loved so much before he or she is ever conceived. I am so excited for Baby H to come along!

It is so cool to think that he is going to know so many things that are beyond our imaginations today. And at this moment, he could literally be anything. Heck, there was even a guy who had a baby a while ago. Not that I am supporting that particular path, but it just goes to show that everyday things continually becoming possible beyond our wildest imaginations.

Baby*

Before you even existed, you were totally
Adored.
Be sure to learn care and love from your parents before
You mentally "cut the cord."

* Particularly for Baby H.

Judges

In my time working at the DA's office I have had exposure to a lot of great practical happenings. And to be fair I am coming at most issues from a prosecutor's point of view. But some judges don't seem to be as concerned about the law as others. And if judges aren't concerned with what the current law is then it sure is a waste of time learning it.

My dad always says that there are two kinds of judges, follow-the-law judges and do-right judges, and that it didn't matter which they were as long as they stuck with it and judged that way equally for everyone. I think he is absolutely right, except that do-right judges should be bound by what options are available to them not outside the law.

The law shouldn't be entirely up to the judge, he or she should consider that a general sense of justice might not be exactly in line with personal feelings inclinations.

Judge

Justice administered
Under a system mostly perfected
Do research before
Giving your verdict. That's why you were
Elected.

Band Names

I had a drink of vino with some of my fabulous cousins tonight (don't try to out-cousin me, you lose before the firing gun even goes off). One of the many things we discussed was a band of a mutual friend of theirs. This made me think about something I hadn't thought about in a while: band names.

I admit that in the past I have often judged bands by their names. Not bands whose music I have heard before, but the bands who are pre "making it" phase. Those I judge. Come on, don't eye roll or head shake, I'll bet you judge too.

Like for instance take this situation: You have a free ticket to a music festival. There are two bands playing at the same time of different stages. One is called "Dog Ate My Homework" and one is called "Toe Fungus." Which one are you going to? Yea, I thought so.

Band Name poem:

Kings of Leon is regal.
Black Eyed Peas is cheery.
But my band would be named
Space-time continuum theory.
