About Me

I'm more than half way finished with law school at this point, so i am a tired, stressed out, individual. I am trying to survive one really cold fucking winter, and pay my heating bills on student loans. If we're going to occupy an oil rich nation, can't we at least keep my heating costs down? That's all I'm asking, and I'm not asking that much!and as to my political views, let there be no doubt, it is now official... i'm politically to the left (not liberal like this thing says because liberal means something completely different historically)

My Interests

a commercial told me today that interest rates are near an all time low! How exciting!

I'd like to meet:

You. Not you. You.

Music:

music is good... pixies, the shins, the hold steady, wolf parade, sunset rubdown, neutral milk hotel, coldplay, weezer, gbv and now just robert pollard, killers, cure, radiohead, those years in baltimore got me liking rap a little more, and of course the song "born to run" by my old milk truck driving roommate, a song that would have been better had it been recorded by willie neslon (willie nelson!)

Movies:

i really like movies here so my list would be too long.. i admit to being a star wars person, but the original 3 kick ass over the new ones.. american history x blew me away, and fight club... anything cohen brothers.. when i moved to minnesota my dvds got stolen so this is all a touchy subject.

Television:

Now that Arrested Development has been cancelled, the commercials are the best thing on TV... and at least commercials are scripted and have a budget.

Books:

Books? Books are for people who can't afford televisions!

Heroes:

Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps...

I knew it was dumb!

In a previous blog, I wrote about Nepal's state airline, and its decision to sacrifice goats to the sky god in an effort to solve their plane's mechanical problems. As it turns out, I am not the...

Kentucky

Am I the only one who finds it strange, yet not surprising, that Kentucky's anti-discrimination laws protect smokers but not homosexuals? Also, here's the reason why I don't get as much work done as I...
