Welcome Back

Dear Reader,

Pardon the absence.  If it wasn't attending seminars on the unique business opportunities of Alpaca husbandry, or dealing with the immense pressure of writing the next installment of my wildly successful book series, Twilight, it was surely some other twee diversion that kept me at arm's length from this trusty keyboard.  

In any event, the pleasure of returning to this corner of the internet is all mine.  

Just kidding.  It's predominantly yours.

Now, because of the absence maybe it would be best if I gave a recap of who I am and why Legally Blogged should be firmly sandwiched somewhere between Perez Hilton and Facebook on the list of your 5 Desert Island Websites (and yes, the island has power and an internet connection, but other than that it's deserted, got it?)

My name is Christopher Michael Crighton, although most refer to me as Chris. Almost as many refer to me as Slender.  Not the coolest nickname in the world but it certainly could be worse (like when I was younger and my grandmother referred to me as "Pissy Chrissy".  And by "younger" I mean "yesterday").

Anyway, last year (my second year at Western law) I was asked if I wouldn't like to document my comings and goings as a student, ostensibly as a way to capture some of this wild ride for the benefit of prospective Western law attendees.  I hope to continue this year in the same vein, but in addition to my recurrent theme of “wow, life sure can be confusing sometimes” I foresee that this year’s pieces will be influenced by other external stimuli, not the least of which was my summer working for the Department of Justice in Toronto. 

To give a full re-cap of my summer in one sitting would be exhausting for both you and me, but suffice it to say that as far as work experiences go it was the cat’s pyjamas, or the bee’s knees, or some other painfully hip animalian accoutrement. 

If any of my teammates from the Justice League are reading: I hope all is well.  Oh yeah, and all of the Excel Spearmint chewing gum pressed firmly into the underside of my recently-vacated desk was there when I moved in.  Same with the graffiti that reads, “Chrissy Pissy wuz here.”  I know, weird coincidence, right?  But 100% true.

Anywho, I simply wanted to use this opportunity to provide some salutations and confirm (much to the chagrin of you odds-makers out there, I’m sure) that I hadn’t died. 

As always, feel free to leave a comment or send me an e-mail (ccrighto@uwo.ca) if you have any questions (well, questions that have a rational connection to these proceedings, I suppose.  I’m not Google.)

Let’s do this again soon

Chris

this is definately a way to sustain your growth. Who doesn't need more clients? Give it away if you can, and keep traffic coming in!
