Blog Hiatus
Posted by admin on February 28th, 2005 filed in UncategorizedI’ll be taking a break from this blog. Indefinitely. There is no way I can sustain regular blogging under my current workload, and I’m already suffering somewhat from blog fatigue already.
I’m at a stage in my life where I have a choice. If I continue blogging, I’m facing a real risk of flunking out of law school. At that point, no matter how hard I argue, how much effort I put into my writings and thoughts, it will all be for nothing. I mean, who’s going to listen to a washed-out law school dropout?
Or I could put this project on hold. Maybe drop by every now and then for minor updates. I will focus all my energies however in my studies. And then, maybe, when I have made something of myself through my own efforts, I can come back here and speak with certainty and confidence.
Certainty that people who read me won’t think I’m just another faux-intellectual blowhard. And the confidence that not only will I be speaking with the conviction of my beliefs, but also the respectibility of personal accomplishments, achievements that show not only can I talk the talk, but also walk the walk.
In the meantime, friends and foes alike, you are welcome to keep in touch with me at my email address:

I’ll also leave the links to my favourite posts here, so that anyone interested can pop in and have a look.
Bye.
