Why am I such a (white) liar?

And why am I so good at it? hahaha....sometimes, people just can't handle the truth. so you gotta throw them a bone - a white lie, as we like to call them - in order to keep the world spinning.

On another note, I just got paid money, honey!!! $517 for my first paycheck from a law firm for 32.5 hours of work ($15/hr). time to get liquored up and hookered up! haha, just kidding. no really, 1/2 kidding? Here's to that hourly rate increasing infinitesimally throughout school and post-graduation.

Neways, not looking forward to April and definitely not May 1-10 because of finals. As a result, I pray to God to give me the concentration, dedication and commitment to see through all the distractions so that I can study hard and ace those exams.

I had two dreams last night:

Part 1: I was snowboarding at Keystone when a murder occurred. The police ended up recruiting me to help in the detective work because I found key evidence in support of apprehending the criminal. Kept doing my detective work , when BAM! i was snowboarding on the back side of some street.


Part 2: Day two of snowboarding, but without the murder. Just straight jumps and riding.

Too bad I had to wake up....

Spring Break 2010

and here I am at home, studying for finals. i will be a lucky man if I still have a head full of hair by the time I graduate law school in 2012, because at the rate that I am worrying and pulling my hair out over things....I shouldn't have any by the end of this year.

And just what have I to worry about right now while on MY Spring break?
1) finals - the schedule during finals week is one exam on, one day off, another exam on, etc.. Except this time around, it doesnt look like I will have the privilege of making the library my home for more than 4 days before my first. this qualifies as a capital Shit, even when looking from this far up the road.

on the Scale of Big Shits, I give this one 4 Shits / 5 Shits (with the pressure building)

2) summer internshits- Alright, I am better than where I was a week ago. Two interviews down and one more to go on Friday.

So why is it then that I am worried? Cuz I was so intimidated by both the Judge and the GC during my interview. The Judge even told me to sit back and relax during my interview because of the bad ass vibe I gave.

I was more relaxed with the GC's interview, but here are two things I messed up on: in an attempt to cover up my failure to brush my teeth that morning, I ate a peppermint right before the interview.....and nearly choked on the damn thing as I swallowed it whole. Yes, I am Jack's brilliant half that failed to finish it (or spit it out) before the interview started.

I find out next week what the deal is on whether I get the clerkships, so until then....
3 Shits/ 5 Shits

- So this shit scale is representative of how many times I've said shit in my head about the described situation. It is necessary to describe anything and everything related to law school and life.

1 Shit/5 Shits is how I feel, for example, after finding out Tiger Woods cheated on his wife. Yes, short of total apathy, I couldn't give 2 shits about what is happening with that fool (Except that he make a comeback soon).
3 Shits/ 5 Shits is the pretty average sentiment of shitiness, i.e. it could be worst, it could be better, but i'll take it for what its worth- its like when you have to take the dog out for a walk when its 30 degrees. You just bite the bullet and take Fido outside, because there'll be a whole lot more shit to deal with if you don't.
whereas, 5 Shits/5 Shits means I'm about to pass a kidney stone and the biggest shit in my life. And you know how those feel. those one's 2 hours after an all-u-can-eat BBQ where you mouth a silent "O GOD" as your body tries to pass an octagon, cube and bowling ball through the circle hole. Ya, shit happens. and lest we actually remember how traumatic the experience was, it'll happen again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise, I could give 2 shits about anything else right now. Oh and I told my parents that I temporarily hate my brother because he is an inconsiderate, valueless and ugly man-child. True story.

actually, how I really feel about my brother goes something like this: I deep down inside love the guy. He is my brother after all, and regardless of how I feel right now, would go to the ends of this world for him. BUT, he is currently the biggest douchebag I know that is 18 years of age and 5' 6" tall. He is inconsiderate- fails to call mom, knowing how much she worries about him. He is spoiled- expects food on the table, even though he (a) didn't call ahead letting us know he wanted dinner, and (b) came home at 11pm. He is selfish- I can't remember the last time he actually genuinely bought anyone in my family a gift. Here's the thing, I know he wasn't always this way, b/c he used to bring home gifts from those school gift shops. But even now that he has money from working, he fails to buy anyone in my family bday and xmas gifts, while spending $ on his friends comes 2nd nature to him. He lacks common sense - most recent example is when he gave his friend $30 for a one-way ride from school back home this spring break. who does that? especially when there were a total of 3 people in the car and it only costs $15 in gas for the one-way road trip up. total capital-F-bomb idiot.

so ya, I conditionally hate my brother and really do not look forward to spending my vacation in Hong Kong this summer with him. or anytime with him at all.

on that note, I couldn't even give ONE SHIT about my brother right now.
