late night update

lets see...it's now 12:57 and i thought I'd put up a new post. I've been thinking alot recently and have realized a lot of things. Mainly..I think God has really convicted me of a few things these past few weeks, and I thought that I'd share them. The main thing is...the law school environment has really been getting me down lately. The constant talking about people behind their backs..the politiking, and everything else. I've begun to make a concerted effort at changing that.....mainly trying not just to not say anything negative about people...but to really start countering other people's comments with positive ones. We all are different, with our own differences, which makes life so interesting. We should learn to embrace that in people, rather than shun that. I really feel sorry for so many people out there that are so insecure that they have to make those sorts of comments about people...to validate themselves. I haven't so much experienced people talking about me or making comments myself (although I'm sure it happens being that it seems to happen to everyone else) What pointing out the defencies really seems to be for many people is a way to escape having to look in the mirror. It keeps you from having to look at yourself, and your flaws, and then come to grips with them. It is way easier to either blame them on other people, or pretend that you already have it all together. I think it's time for a change of the atmosphere of the school....and I def. thing it should be the goal of the Christians to take the lead in that endevour.......

Donnie Darko

Ok..I just saw Donnie Darko on DVD.....and I don't know what to think. It was an interesting flick to say the least. I'm not entirely sure what I saw, but I think I understand it (btw...it helps if you read the philosophy of time travel after you see it, it helps bring it all together, which btw is an entirely fictional book written for the purposes of the movie and can be found on the Donnie Darko website and the DVD too I believe).....quite a wierd flick.

Job potential

Well..I've got a tentative offer now from a job I really really wanna do...the central question now is...will I be able to get my public service fund appliction in on time? (this thurs)....we shall see. I'll keep you posted.

Speaking of irony

I certainly hope this website was created for the Irony

Hardcore fashion

Sing it with me now

Another one bites the dust

Mad World

I heard this really cool song on the radio the other day called "Mad World" by Gary Jules...it's this kinda dark piece that was on the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Check it out..you can listen to it on his website GaryJules.com I really need to see this movie sometime..from everyone I've talked to it's supposed to be really good...maybe I'll rent it one of these days....

The Man...The Legend...

I just saw Justice Scalia speak here at William & Mary....and I was VERY impressed. He was a great speaker and really let that Scalia wit shine through. I've never heard original intent expressed so well. I didn't quite agree with it beforehand...but now I am rethinking that position. I'll tell you one thing..I certainly wouldn't look forward to having to argue a case in front of him...the man seems incredibly smart and quick-witted. Agree with him or not, you have to admit that he is a very intelligent man who passionately believes in his principles...you have to give him at least that much...I may post more on what he said later.

Awesome

Grunge! You're all about the music and would even
turn your back on fame just to stay true to
your roots... You reached your high in the
early '90s, but you're still making some good
stuff! Keep rocking!


What genre of rock are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I'm satisfied with that result...grunge was/is still awesome

ugh.

I'm so sick of studying.....I'm totally over it. I just wanna rock and roll all night and party ev-e-ry day. Is that really too much to ask?

A simple mistake

An attorney, cross-examining the local coroner, queried, "Before you signed the death certificate had you taken the man's pulse?"

"No," the coroner replied.

"Well, then, did you listen for a heart beat?"

The coroner answered, "No."

"Did you check for respiration? Breathing?", asked the attorney.

Again the coroner replied, "No."

"Ah," the attorney said, "So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?"

The coroner rolled his eyes, and shot back "Counselor, at the time I signed the death certificate the man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I can see your point. For all I know he could be out there practicing law somewhere."

a Joke

How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer #1: Fifty four. Eight to argue, one to get a continuance, one to object, one to demur, two to research precedents, one to dictate a letter, one to stipulate, five to turn in their time sheets, two to depose, one to write interrogatories, two to settle, one to order a secretary to change the bulb, and twenty-eight to bill for professional services.

Answer #2: It only takes one lawyer to change your light bulb... to his.

Answer #3: How many can you afford?

Answer #4: Heck, you need 250 just to apply for the research grant.

Terrorism continues

Today a horrible tragedy has happened. A terrorist attack in the Atocah metro station in Madrid has killed 190 people, wounding 1,240. Originally the Spanish gov't suspected the ETA, a Basque seperatist group, but now that focus is shifting. Al Queda has claimed responsibility for the attack..stating that " said the brigade's "death squad" had penetrated "one of the pillars of the crusade alliance, Spain." "This is part of settling old accounts with Spain, the crusader, and America's ally in its war against Islam,"

I'm so sick of these self rightous murderers claiming to be killing innocent people in the name of God....they need to learn...if anything this should strenghthen the world's determination to fight terrorism. This is not an attack on Spain, but rather an attack on our way of life, an attack on civilization. It is now time for America to reciprocate the solidarity shown by Spain towards us and step up and let it be known that we will be there with them to aid whatever assistance they need in fighting this war for survival against those who wish to destroy us.

whoohoo!!

Spring Break!!!!

I can't say I'm surprised

You're The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are
quite an entertainer. You've also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,
often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,
but it's shown you so much of the world that you don't care. Wacky adventures continue to
lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42.

Interesting results....although I can't say I've had any particularly wacky adventures...and I'm really funny, more like...um.....sarcastic and bitter?...no, that's not quite right......maybe just sarcastic and not entirely un-funny.....

What're your results? post them in the comments section

Take out your frustrations

How many times have I wanted to do this?

A time to leave

I'm getting tired of this life I lead....I'm thinking about running off and joining the circus....or maybe I'll go off somewhere to an offshore island and start a new country....anyone wanna join me?....by the way, the position of supreme Emperor is already taken...but I will of course still need advisors, as well as subjects for me to rule with an iron fist...with an offer like that, who could refuse?
