Pointlessly Hypertechnical

So, I have been thinking about starting this for some time now, but have been hesitant for several reasons. Then, I found myself writing down descriptions about funny or irritating things that happened to me and thought, "This is silly, just start the damn thing."

Then, I got a sign, a nudge, and a push. A judge recently called one of my legal arguments "pointlessly hypertechnical" in a written opinion. It made me laugh and has become my own personal motto ever since. (I'm thinking about having T-Shirts made.) It is a true comment on my personality - I have a tendency to be hypertechnical. Some people would call it more than a tendency, but since this isn't their blog, it doesn't really matter what they think. And I am willing to concede that, sometimes, my hypertechnicality can border on pointless. In the moment, however, I always believe I am being hypertechnical for a good reason.

Who knows what shape or form this blog will take in the coming months. Life can be pretty unpredictable. I am sure there will be funny posts, pissy posts, sentimental posts, complaint posts, goofy posts, and, of course, pointlessly hypertechnical posts.

So, thank you, Your Honor. While I do not think you meant the phrase "pointlessly hypertechnical" as an insult, I am pretty sure you didn't mean it as a compliment. In the end, you gave me so much more than a loss in one case.

By the way, I am appealing that decision.

Is "PH" a diagnosable condition? If so, I believe I would be in that category. I would definitely purchase a T-shirt if you have them made. Much success with your blog. KEAlms
