Bar exam
so incredibly scary.
The lecture today was horrible. It taught NOTHING.
I need to start cracking down more. I know I can succeed if I just go 110%.
Part of me keeps thinking of certain peers that passed the bar and thinking it can't be bad, then I look at the practice essay questions and think there is no way I'll make it.

F that
JAS and I went jogging this morning. We both are smokers wanting to quit. It was shocking how much damage I've done to my lungs. It was also shocking how out of shape we both are. We couldn't make it from the law school parking lot to the bear trail before we were winded. We kept pushing on but it was pathetic.
It is so much more fun to not be healthy. I've never been sitting on the couch and in pain while having a beer, fritos, and a smoke. Having fresh air, exercise, and sunlight was painful.

Yesterday
The Miller Lite mini-keg is pretty awesome.
It has a co2 tank with it!
Germany did an awesome job yesterday but they still should have done better. Some of their play was sloppy.
Wrote 18 pages for the intro to the book.
Time to study oil and gas now.

Something Disturbing
http://wildfire.gigya.com/facebook/preview.aspx?fb_sig_api_key=f7667e9ebccf2157d6f15f991a5e3ce9&wid=344407921&p=bHQ9MTI3NjI3MTc5NTUwNSZwdD*xMjc2MjcxOTU3ODA1JnA9MTI1ODQxMSZkPUFCQ*5ld3NfU*ZQX*xvY2tlX*VtYmVkJm49ZmFjZWJvb2smZz*yJm89ZTcwYTdkNDk4MTA3NGQyZWExMzMxMTg4NDM2NjUyNDUmb2Y9MA%3D%3D&s=1
Hopefully, that will take you to a video of a news segment. It is disturbing for multiple reasons. I grew up favoring the bad guys in the movies. I thought the villan was the true hero. Imagine it, society is against you and you still have the courage to rebel. I'm not alone in this. Many people admired the bold actions of the 1930s gangsters. I can remember where I was when 2pac was shot as vividly as when I found out about the 9/11 attack in high school and our teacher said it was no big deal. I remembered 2pac and Biggie dying because they were the outlaws, or so they claimed. It was appealing to think that the laws and will of society could be secondary to the desires and needs of the individual. While growing up, I was subjected to a forced sense of inferiority because my classmates came from rich families and got whatever they wanted. I hated them for that but I also despised myself and my situation for not being as lucky as them. The disturbing thing is that a child took all those negative emotions and acted on them to try and become a modern Robin Hood. The even greater problem is that many don't see a problem with this, they just encourage it. I think it all has to do with maturity and awareness. A child that steals planes and boats, runs through the forest barefoot while evading police, and has no remorse should not be encouraged. Yes, it does sound like quite the adventure. However, this is no different than Jackass. While Jackass is entertaining and so are the reports of the illegal activities of the kid, there is a person there. There are victims for these crimes. This isn't just robbing a bank that is insured and stealing from the government. This is stealing from the community for no reason.
Why do we encourage this? The interesting point of the story was that it focused on the child now legally being an adult. This has important sentencing ramifications. However, do you really think this individual will turn himself in peacefully? If he has a gun or any weapon at all, there are serious safety concerns for the police and community. What would stop this from being a hostage situation or another police funeral? He has done a LOT, he could go away for a long time. If he is already looking at a dismal future, why not just do a few things as a last ditch attempt to get away? I don't know what drives someone like him to do that stuff. What I do know is that we need to analyze these situations and think of how they can be avoided in the future

Back Again
Eminem has a new CD, I may as well create a blog again. I could comment on things like life after law school or current events. I don't know what it will be about. However, it will exist and that is sufficient. I think that certain people will be happy about this.
So what has changed?
Graduated from law school and studying for the bar exam.
I've had life changing experiences that completely changed the way I perceive events and my future plans.
I never truly feel safe because of a person that refuses to let me exist alone.
I'd like to think I've grown up a little.
Hopefully, I've done things to make those that I look up to proud of me.
I am making the effort to quit smoking. I don't know how it will turn out but I hate every moment of weakness. When I give in to cravings, I am disappointed in myself and no longer find the satisfaction that smoking used to bring me.
