Obama

SO I got to meet Barack Obama last night. I waited out in line for over 6 hours and with a little help from a friend, got the first seat in the first row in front of the stage. Barack spoke for about an hour, and my GF helped him out with a few words, which he credited her. Then at the end he came down and shook my hand, and it was great. So, yeah, it was a good day!

Gym & Mullets

I am not a fan of the gym. All these people showing off. It kinda reminds me of the line in Fight Club, "Everyone is just waiting for their turn to speak." It seems as if everyone is showing off, and no one is looking.

Speaking of stupid... This show "Moment of Truth" is getting worse every week. Tonight they had a guy with a mullet, a relatively hot girlfriend, and got him to admit that he keeps a spreadsheet of the over 100 girls he has slept with. A mullet. The guy has a mullet and has slept with over 100 girls. WHAT?

Boredom

So life is boring. Other people always think that I have an exciting life. I go strange places. I do exciting things. I have an internship that is stimulating.

Yeah, not so much. Those things are but punctuation at the end of very long sentences. I sometimes wonder if what I am doing was the right path. Should I have chosen peace corp or moving to a foreign country? Should I have gone into a profession that doesn't require hours of sitting in a library? Perhaps.

Class

I hate when people talk about their damm personal lives in class. I don't care if your sister owns a house near an abandoned golf course. I don't care if your family members steal stuff from you. I don't care if your priest is being charged with raqueteering. I don't care about your baby. I don't even care if you have a farm. Really. I don't care who is sleeping with whom. I don't care that you are from any particular state. I don't care that you grew up on the exact spot the classroom is on right now.

I am here to learn the damm law and get the fuck out. This isn't a group therapy session. If you want to hire a lawyer to help your sister and her golf house, I'm sure you can find one for less than $150k. Get over it

Wow, that felt good..............

Poem

We no longer see the sky
figuring its just the night
the eclipse hides the fear in our eyes
contrasting the past delight

We can, never, go back
but how do we move on

We no longer see heaven
it must just be the sun
the shine blinds our fears
our lives have just begun

Disappointment

So i didn't get the internship I wanted. I was just too late. Oh well. Even though I had really wanted it, I also see this as an opportunity to continue my current internship, which is the type of law that I really want to practice. The pull of the prestige of working for a judge was strong, but the desire to do what is right is stronger. I guess that kinda makes me like Luke Skywalker. I will use the force

About Me

I was inspired by a friend to expose myself (a bit). I think its more therapy for myself than anything else. I wont disclose who I am, although anyone reading this will already know...

1. My last name is a biblical name, a relative of moses. I am an Atheist. I have been since I was 13.

2. I am a very solitary person. However, when I meet a new person I like to find out everything there is to know about them.

4. I like things (tv, books, movies) in which I can picture myself as one of the characters. If I can't personally relate, I probably don't like it.

5. My favorite show is The West Wing. I sometimes envision myself as Josh, but mostly as the President.

6. My favorite book is the "Time Traveler's Wife". I live and die every time I read it. Henry's life with Clare is amazing. I also wish I could time travel.

7. I am very political. I tend to vote Democratic, however there aren't any Democrats that are as socially liberal as I think they should be. If there was an Uber-Democratic party I would vote for them.

8. I love law school. Yes. I said it. I think that probably makes my a masochist. However, I have chosen to be here, and I hate when people complain about how hard it is, and how they hate it. So drop out! Get over it! Nobody is forcing you to be here. Its only 3 years of your life.

9. I miss the worst year of my life. When I was 23 I lived in a shitty apartment and a somewhat-crappy area of DC, with bugs and loud neighbors. However, I miss walking everywhere, riding the metro, listening to my mp3 player, reading on the train, walking home at 11pm from school listening to Dashboard, thinking how sad my life was. I miss that SO much.

10. I miss the best year of my life. When I was 22 I met R. She is by far the best thing that ever happened to me. Smart, Sexy, Fiery and bold. That first year was amazing. We experienced things together for the first time. We went places, like NY, Philly and DC and it was amazing. We had sex. Alot. We had a ton of fun. We were totally in love.

11. I fucked up #10 real bad. It will never be the same.

12. I run. I don't particularly enjoy it, but it is something I am proud of. I finished the Marine Corps Marathon a few years ago. Every time I wanted to stop, I thought to myself. I am doing this for people who can't get out of bed and walk, let alone run 26.2 miles. I raised thousands of dollars for people with AIDS/HIV.

13. I play the guitar. I never got as good as I had wanted. I was decent, but I faked it more than i made it. I miss playing in my old band.

14. I have always wanted to have a Harley.

15. I want to save the world. Whether it is as a leader (president, governor) or 1 person at a time as a lawyer. I vow to dedicate myself to helping people who have trouble helping themselves.

16. My eye sight is horrible.

17. I like to be the person that others come to for advice and knowledge. I don't like going to others for the same.

18. I like the idea of vacations. I don't always enjoy them, however.

19. I hate going to the gym. But I do it anyway.

20. I buy a new Dr. Grip pen for my first exam each year. I don't care if I have one, I need a new one in order to write an exam.

21. I am a Barack Obama supporter. If he doesn't get the nomination I WILL NOT vote for Hillary of John McCain. How can you choose between McDonalds and Burger King when you had Filet Mingon last night.

22. I feel like I don't have any friends.

23. I always thought I had a bad childhood. It turns out that it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was at the time.

24. I hated going to private schook K-4th grade. Even at that oung age I knew that it was too elitist and white, and that I needed more diversity. I went to public school starting in 5th grade.

25. I hated public school. I got picked on for being the new kid. I was geeky and had funny glasses. I liked to read books. I liked the Giants in Eagles country. It was awful. I had not friends. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world.

26. I had my first kiss at 14.

27. I lost my virginity at 14. I still can't find it.

28. Fight Club changed my life. At the time I first saw the movie, I had dropped out of college, and was very depressed. The part was where they pull the convenience store clerk and ask him if he would rather be dead than go back to school. I decided to go back to school.

29. I feel that if people knew the real me they would be scared.

30. I used to want to be a high school history teacher, a psychologist, a forensic criminologist, an FBI agent, a Biological anthropologist, a primateologist, get a PhD is History, and go to grad school in Government. That was all since I started college, and all before I decided to go to law school.

31. If I wasn't in law school, I would probably be pursuing a PhD in Biological Anthropology.

32. I am sad often, thinking that the best is behind me. See #10.

33. I fear that I am going to die young, from disease like cancer or AIDS.

24. I feel lonely when i am home alone

25. I love to hate TV, but really i like watching tv sometimes.

26. I associate music with events that happened around the same time.
Wallflowers One Headlight was my favorite song the day I got my drivers license.
Toad the Wet Sprocket's Fall Down reminds me of a girl i liked in 7th grade.
Smashing Pumpkins 1979 reminds me of driving around in the summer with my windows open.

27. I like Yuengling beer

28. I don't like kids. I don't want kids. I don't think that your kid is cure. Yeah, its true, get over it.

29. I don't have a 'type' when it comes to girls. I have features that I like, like nice lips, intelligent, and fun, but other than that I don't really have preferences.

30. I like some kinds of pain. I enjoyed getting my nipples pierced.

31. I read Postsecret religiously every sunday morning.

32. I've always wanted to write a book. I've never gotten past the second chapter on any of them.

33. I realized that I was done playing in bands one night unloading my half-stack at 3 am in a foot of snow.

34. I went skydiving. It was a big thrill, but not big enough.

35. I want to rock climb more often.

36. I've been to several nude beaches. I like nude beaches.

37. I was disapointed that when I went to the Galapagos I didn't see a whale shark.

38. I have been a manager at both big chain bookstores, and I hate both of them.

39. I can snap with my middle finger, ring finger and pinkey

40. I cheated on my first girlfriend, with my 2nd girlfriend. After I broke up with #1, she went through several years of a crappy life, doinig drugs, going out with seedy guys and stuff. I've always wondered if it might have been partly my fault.

41. My first concert was Green Day in 1994. My favorite concert was Pearl Jam in Camden in 2000, b/c I was in the 2nd row.

42. I don't relate to most white people. I feel like a minority that looks like a majority.

43. I cry everytime I watch the Obama video. http://www.dipdive.com/dip-politics/ywc/

44. I was a Nader supporter until I was driving to the polls. I voted for Gore.

45. I love science, but I am horrible at it.

46. I haven't been able to give blood since 2000 because I have Lymes disease.

47. I HATE reality tv

48. Alot of my friends are asses

49. I have a fear of being alone. Although I love my 'me' time.

50. I worry about living up to my potential. If I live up to it, then what will I do afterwards. It's only downhill.

Dream

So i dream about search and seizure now. I was detained illegally by the police and the locked in a room while they searched my car. I hate dreaming about school or work. Anyway.. so I don't think anyone is reading this anyway....

Brief

How can one describe a something as a "brief" when it is 25 pages long... That would be 'long' by most writing standards (unless of course you write books, which i don't). Again I have to represent the corporation, the side I would never represent in the real life practice of law... however I still need to write this damm thing...

Obama / Santos

It is absolutely amazing how reality and fiction correspond with each other. A minority candidate running against an old white guy. Season 7 Episode 8 - Undecideds.... a speach bridging the races, going against what his own advisors say, Santos gives a GREAT speach in a black church on race. March 18 - Obama gives possibly the best speech in a generation on Race. A nation divided, we need a president to bring America together, not to drive us even further apart.

"We will walk together, work together, and slowly things will get better"

"Working together we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice is we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union."

Can you figure out which is Obama and which is Santos....

Does it matter? If we can elect someone who is working towards bridging the racial divide, that is who this country needs. If we can elect someone who has an idea of the challenges that face this nation, not only the external ones (terrorism, a flailing economy, a weak dollar, corupt russian and chinese governments who suppress human rights...), and not just internal domestic problems (economy, jobs going overseas, lack of health insurance, etc..), but the internal problems inside American hearts and minds.

Tired

How is it that I am so damm tired, yet I have been getting a regular amount of sleep (6 hrs on average). This is rediculous, i just don't know what to do. I drink coffee... nothing! I drink energy drinks... still tired! I have so much work to do! Damm!

Time to focus

So the days are winding down. Only a few dozen left until that exercise where our minds are tested. I usually don't get stressed, but now I feel the pressure mounting. I don't really know how to do this, but I figured it out in the fall, so I figure that Ill get it sooner or later this time around. I am shooting for the magic number... if I don't make it, I am screwed.
