ADHD and law school?

Posted on August 12, 2008
So, I went to my doctor a few weeks ago because the stress of working full time and going to law school at night was starting to make me irritable and moody.

What do dumb criminals do in the winter?

Posted on July 29, 2008
'Cause summer seems to be their busiest season. I'm just wondering. :)This guy set off the fire alarm, which is a felony when there's no fire. Where did he do it? At the police station. Because he had been arrested for a home disturbance. He now faces up to 7 years in prison.

What a nice change!

How not to get out of trouble in court

Keison Wilkins actually tried to fake a heart attack in order to cause a mistrial. Love how the judge took care of this one: Unfortunately for him, the jury convicted him anyway.

More to come later, when I've had more than 3 hours of sleep. But the Celts did it. NBA champs!!! By the largest margin in NBA history. Awesome. It's good to be a New England sports fan. :)

Well, at least SOMEONE is better off this year than last year....

Of course, it's the CEOs. According to the Associated Press, "the AP review of compensation for the heads of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index finds the median pay package added up to nearly $8.4 million. That's a comfortable gain of about $280,000 from 2006...

You're smart enough to know that decisions about who gets ahead in life are not always based on fairness. But that shouldn't stop you from seeking justice and equality, today. No matter how bizarre or uncomfortable a situation might be, you should try to be the voice of mutual respect...

Gas prices hurt. What did your Senator do to help?

A nice drive by. :)

Posted on June 09, 2008

What do you guys do about these people?

Posted on June 05, 2008
You know, the people who drive in the left lane, not passing anyone to their right. Of course, they won't move out of your way so you can pass, either. Yet, when you try to pass them on the right (because they refuse to move), they'll go as fast as it takes to keep you from passing them, even if they have to go 100mph in order to do it...

"If you lived in a town where dead people walked the earth, you'd probably move, right? And if you didn't move, you probably wouldn't buy the cemetery and try to relocate the graves, would you? No. You wouldn't. Then again, you'd make a dull movie".The Comcast On-Demand description of "Child of the Living Dead".

Then again...

You're awesome. Great. Amazing. A really good person.But if you don't want to be put into the "friend" category, you have to flirt. You have to create a little bit of chemistry.
