spring cleaning (i know it's may)
i’m not sure where the idea of spring cleaning came from, but it seems like a good idea. maybe because it’s too cold outside to take out the trash, but i’ve accumulated a bunch of crap in my apartment during the winter (it might also be because I live on the top floor of a four story walkup and am lazy). earlier this week i also felt like one more thing needed cleaning.

are brits racist?
one of manchester united’s chants for ronaldo:
(to the tune of ‘That’s Amore’) when the ball hits the goal it’s not giggs, it’s not scholes, It’s ronaldo!
united’s chant for ji-sung park:
park, park, wherever you may be, you eat dogs in your home country! it could be worse, you could be a scouse, eating rats in your council house!
gchat status
everyone in law school has a depressing/suicidal/give up on life gchat status.
a sampling:
“PR booo”
“is learning to be accepting of that fatigued, exhausted feeling”
“The owl of minerva just crapped on me and I’m tangled in the seamless web of the law stranded in an archipelago of evolving jurisprudence”
“patent bar studying… all day...
update
the random emails and haiku have been a source of encouragement, thanks. the lakers losing was a boost. united beating arsenal 4-1 on agreggate was an even bigger boost. the sox are undefeated this season against the yanks…ultimate boost
(bruins in the playoffs…ehh, that’s nice…celts losing to magic…sucks…)

wawa, caffeine and ambien
day…im not sure…of finals week(s). i am surviving on wawa, caffeine to stay awake (i have a starbucks iv drip), and ambien to counter-act the caffeine so i can go to sleep at night (it takes 20 minutes to kick in so i read until i start to see double). all so i can wake up exactly seven hours later to do it all over again… a med school student once told me that the human body is...
crap way to write a paper
im closing in on my mammoth paper due tomorrow at noon (who sets a deadline for noon?). i’ve decided that it’s a really bad idea to write a paper by making assertions and then trying to google book authors that support your premise. it is a decidedly crap way to write a paper
having said that, i can’t believe how many authors subscribe to/believe in/have done research on the...
book antiqua
in writing my paper, i have found that book antiqua is now my favorite font. not only is it wider than times new roman, but prettier.
blogs posts aren’t supposed to be this short, i know. maybe i should twitter instead.
finals thought (that i don't have time to address)...
zlatan ibrahimovic is overrated. discuss.
exam hiatus
i know all five of my readers are scratching their heads wondering why i haven’t posted anything in such a long time. the reason is because i am cramming for exams.
today i went to an exam review and was scared out of my mind. halfway through the review i was asking myself if i actually took this class.
in light of the time crunch, i was going to start posting pages of a paper i’m...
cheerleader effect 2.0
i don’t watch “how i met your mother” nor do i encourage it. it’s really not a good show. maybe because it’s too predictable; barney chases tail, marshall hates his life, ted is a loser. i do however somewhat subscribe to what barney calls the cheerleader effect. basically, it’s when a group of women are hot, but only as a group. when you look at them...
to the girl at the coffee shop
i love studying in my apartment. i’ve got internet, a djembe and i can study in my boxers. because of those same reasons, it’s not the most efficient place to be. so sometimes i like to change it up and go to a coffee shop. the one i go to has no internet or musical instruments and they have a strict not pants, not shirt, no service policy. without any distractions i’m able to...
new york city excursion
so im heading up to new york city this weekend. i was spurred to go by some college buddies. kind of like a mini-reunion. it was supposed to be a mixed company reunion but the boston group, the female contingency, bailed last second. so i guess it’s just the guys. it’s fine; play some golf, catch up on old times, hit up circle…err…some places to hang out.
have brunch?

facebook playas
i am cool because many of my friends are facebook playas.
[redacted]: omgee me: what? [redacted]: i’m gonna share something with you me: do it already [redacted]: and from this point on, you have to help me to MAKE SURE i do not mess this up like holy sh*t, the path has been paved me: wow. this sounds serious. [redacted]: oh. nono. not too serious. i didn’t eff a guy last...
consequences
this is a recent conversation about my new blog that i had with a friend. the first part shows my stupidity and ignorance. however, i redeem myself in part two with my persuasive prowess. [redacted]: but yeah what kinda blog are you making me: an awesome one, an everything one [redacted]: lol me: it’s mostly just verbal diarrhea [redacted]: hahahahah i dunno if i’ll read...

gold, it's still in cali
so apparently some californians are fighting the recession by panning for gold in the desert. that bodes well for me since i plan on moving to california after graduation. so if the whole lawyer thing doesn’t work out or if they push back my start date, i’m taking my bar and deferral stipend, buying mining equipment and heading to the desert. really awesome plan. go cali. way to create jobs. good...
mission statement
i created this blog yesterday around 1 am. i was inspired by min who said that she apparently blogs now. i also want to apparently blog. i think writing stuff down is therapeutic. my blog is my therapy.
a blog is no good without a mission statement. here are my carefully crafted points:
very little censorship. i’m just going to post what’s on my mind. sorry in advance.
very little editing. i...
first post, ever, in life
after asking for blog suggestions, i think i’ve decided on tumblr. twitter is too trendy, xanga is too middle school and blogger is too google. whether this will be an ongoing thing or something i abandon in a few days…we’ll see
for my first post i will post a picture of sydney. i can’t believe i was there a mere two weeks ago. i’m now back in philly; my tan is...
