This has been a very interesting week...
I got the WORST grade I have gotten in my entire 25 years of living...and surprisingly I didn't cry.
I found 3 law school classes that do not send me running to gchat ever three minutes.
I am going to LA tomorrow to visit my boyfriend and bestest friend...
I turned 25... I am oooold son!
I got the birthday song serenaded to me... by someone who is NOT my boyfriend (ho din)
I started my internship as a TX House staffer... now I am not going to tell you who I'm working for... but he is awesome. And the rest of the staff is awesome...AND I get free lunch and dinner. Please tell me that is not awesome behavior!

Air and Simple Gifts
Man... I can't believe I forgot to elaborate. This was the perfect song for this moment. The song is broken up into three distinct parts. First, there is a sad almost solemn part...which to me symbolizes the distant past of America and everything as a people we have gone through.Then in the middle, it is a picks up and has a happy peppy feeling which symbolizes a change. Obama is that change. Hopeful change. Just a lot of symbolism there. It is what I would like to call a "Fruition Song".
Also, I loved that they played it right before Obama took the oath. Right in the middle, the "Obama is officially president" thing popped up on the...just overall beautiful. There was no point in this whole election race that moved me so that I had to force back tears.... But then again, what do you expect, It was composed by John Williams who has composed some of my favorite movie scores (Home Alone and Harry Potter just to name two).
Anyone who didn't appreciate that song, really doesn't appreciate music in general because that was amazing.
Go 'head on and check it out.

The Inauguration
So...um what can I say...it was awesome. My highlights of the morning...
1. Bush doing his best Nixon impression when he was getting on the helicopter.
2. The helicopter with Bush and Laura on it taking off and flying off to Andrews.
3. Malia and Sasha walking out looking precious with their grandmother behind them.
4. When CNN flashed across the screen that Obama was officially President even though the oath had yet to be taken.
5. That song Yo-Yo Ma and 'nem played. That was hotness actually. Totally loved it.
6. Obama... or should I call him President Obama now? Naw Imma stick with Obama. Anyway, that long pause he took during the oath. You know he was like... yo should I back out? LOL. Just playing.
Overall, it was awesome. And I am kinda happy I didn't spend the 400 dollars to go see it. Sheeeet it was cold and I was warm right in the law school atrium watching it. LOL.
By the way...Obama was getting it with the first dance. Not so much the "Signed Sealed Delievered" but thats fine.

Christian Audigier is the new Tommy Hilfiger
Is it just me but is the Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier brand like French Fubu? You see it everywhere and everyone feels like they have to wear it? They got knock of Ed Hardy and ish...wtf man. Well I guess maybe it could be like French Tommy Hilfiger since it is a white guy.
But still man, I am so sick of this ish. It's really not even that hot. Different colors and ish. They make me sleepy. And I love how they call it "Luxury Streetwear". Hilarious. You look like a box of crayons threw up on your shirt.
Just saying...

I like that. Imma use that in everday life now. Oh and I do enjoy Daddys Girls. The rest of these random reality shows.

Oakland Riots Pt. 2
OK, so today they shut the part of downtown Oakland where the BART offices are. My mom works right across the street and she said it was pandemonium. Police in the full scale riot gear... and ish...I wonder if they have horses. They put all the buildings in the area on lockdown, so basically, my mom is locked up in her office and cannot leave. I know they are doing this for people's safety, because it is liable to get crazy after the meeting is over, but man... come on man, come on man (think of that Chris Rock skit).
The point they are making is correct and valid and needs to be made. You can't just do this kind of ish and think you can get away with it. But once again, I have a problem with the way the people are doing it. You see this on TV...people are not going to see pain and anger that the protestors feel... they are going to see rage and ignorance, and violence. That is ALL.
Now, what would the best alternative situation be? I do not know. But this is not it. Pretty sure about that.
But long story short, this WAS wrong, like the worst kind of injustice there is. BART police were trying to point to the fact that the officer (who resigned btw) might have thought he was pulling out his taser, or that the victim had a prior arrest record... REALLY? You couldnt have come up with anything better than that? The officer had already used his taser prior to this (not on the victim)... you know what side your taser is on. Come on now. And I hate when people try to use prior record as an excuse. At this venture, they didn't even know dudes history... just sad crap man.
Oh yeah, oh yeah. And the officer resigned...wtf did he think that was going to do. You explain that right now. Yes, he cannot be compelled by BART to speak anymore as he is no longer an agent of BART... but when he acted, he was an agent of BART acting under color of law. What does he think, he is going to get away? Please believe he can be tried himself in civil and criminal court. They would probably only charge him with manslaughter or some ish... but come on now...that was 1st degree murder. There were no extenuating circumstances to take that down to a lesser offense.
Just ridiculous.

"Oakland Riots"
OK, so there was a shooting at BART a couple of days ago. The police basically executed a young black man for no reason. Just all kinds of incorrect. People got pictures of it and stuff...its a big deal in Oakland right now. There are people protesting and such.... but RIOTING?
I sort of have problems with this... you are smashing businesses and people's cars who didn't do anything. Demonstrate and protest all you want to, but why are you messing up other people's property. That is just wrong. There just has to be some sort of line. Smash up the DA's office, smash up the BART office, smash up City Hall, but other people's ish who had nothing to do with it??? Come on man...come on man.
And the officer, so ridiculous. He knew what was up. Just gon' shoot a dude cuz he's black, really? More on this later.

Thoughts On This Misery Known As Law School
So....I am starting to have second thoughts again about law school. Yes, this always happens when I am about a week away from having to return to Austin. So, I am thinking, is this really for me? I am coming to realize that life is not a dress rehersal and you only get one chance. Do I really want to spend my life miserable? No I do not. I feel if I work in law, I probably will be miserable. Well, I don't know about mid size firm life, but big law, yeah I will be miserable.
BUT, if I am poor, then I will be miserable too. It's like, how do I find the balance? I am so confused right now. I mean, just like everyone, I want to be able to be able to deal with work without becoming a souless bastard AND I still want to be able to have me time and do what I want.
That not taking vacation until year 5 thing in big firms is simply not going to work for me. There has got to be some kind of life balance for me.
I wish there was some kind of viable option for me to do that does NOT involve the practice of law. I would really love to become a sports agent or doing something in real estate that doesnt really involve law. I don't know.
Maybe I am just freaking out again... who the bleep knows.

Daddy's Girls
So... how do I feel about another show about some rich girls living in LA? Not to happy. But at least they are black and it is not as grossly scripted like bunk ass Lauren Conrad. Hellsa scripted with it.
But yes, I enjoy that they have some black chicks with money that are not ghetto with it (see Real Housewives of Atlanta). This will probably be a regular on my DVR.
And its funny...I hated Run's House. I feel like I was the only one who thought that show was hot garbage.

Momma's Boys
This show is actually pretty good. Its kinda funny. But the point of this is that I am really mad they chose an unattractive dude to be a Momma's Boy... I'm just saying. I don't even know what the bleep his name is... but he is that out of shape chonkey one. I mean... he is awful to look at. Why would someone be competing for him?
I wonder if any of the girls even find him attractive. The other two, yeah maybe, but that one... oh gosh. Every time he gets on the tv, I get disgusted. Croocked mouth having self. Oh his name is Robbie, they just said it.
And what do these black girls think they are doing? Have you learned nothing from The Bachelor and Rock of Love? Black girls do not get far. Let us be real.
Just saying...still like the show though.
