The album costs $1.99. But if you redeem this code (GET3MP3S) before purchasing, you can use your $3 in amazon.com music credits to “buy” the album.

I just did this, like a minute ago, and so far I’m liking what I hear. I’ll be doing some album reviews this week. This album, as well as Kanye West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” and Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday.” So check back for those.

Prime example, I have 3,000 word memo due tomorrow at 1PM. I have done all of the easy stuff. But for some reason, I have waited until the absolute last minute to do the actual analysis. I must confess, I still have not started the analysis. And what on Earth am I doing? Blogging.

I was contemplating this terrible trajectory I’m on the other night, and ended up having a nightmare about it. In the dream/nightmare, I had graduated from law school, passed the bar and landed a job at the Cook County Public Defender office. My first day in court was the next day, and I had yet to crack open a single book for preparation. I had no idea what the legal basis for letting my clients go would be. and it was around 8PM, I had to be in court in 12 hours!

I began frantically reading through books a the office trying to develop analysis of the issues and come up with a defense strategy. I never left the office, but I did have a toothbrush in my desk for situations just like this.

I made it to court, and then things got crazy. I was yelled at by the judge, I yelled back and was held in contempt of court and jailed for quite some time. I missed out on helping any of my clients and also pissed away any chance I had of getting continuances. Upon my release, I was informed that I had lost my job because I was ill-prepared and had no respect for the bench. Because of these awful traits, I would not be able to effectively serve my clients.

I woke up so sad, and resolved to change my ways. (I’ll do it after this post. I promise.)

Well, I graduated from college several months ago. It was a great experience, but I’m so glad it’s over. The next post will be my reflections on college in general.

I’ve now enrolled in law school, and am just about done with my first semester. I must say, law school is definitely the hardest thing I’ve EVER. DONE!

The fine line between saying too much and saying the essential information is so hard to navigate in law school. With my background in history, I’m used to just spilling out everything I know about a topic and then organizing it logically. I’ve never really had to parse my language in such a detailed way before. The law is truly about the minutiae!

At any rate, I’m going to finish this memo today, so I can spend the weekend studying for my exams that are coming up shortly.

Sending good vibes your way!

As I brushed my teeth this morning, I looked in the mirror and read this quote on my shirt. It got me thinking about how this quote has influenced so many people. People tend to ignore the fact that DuBois disavowed this teaching before he died. But let’s ignore that for now; there is still something we can get out of this teaching. However, we must look deeper and extract a meaning from deep within the quote.

it has been quite some time,

since my last post, that is

and here it is Friday again…

which can only mean one thing!

THROWBACK FRIDAY!
