Two Down, One to Go

Sunday night, and I need a break. Tomorrow afternoon is Corporate Finance. Open book, so not too bad. Although, it does open the door for any question under the sun. I think I will be prepared. I'd type this blog after I was done studying later around 3 AM, but Im afraid by then Ill be speaking in tongues and playing with legos. Ahhh, sweet, sweet insanity.

MMMM, Diet Red Bull. Can you say, second wind?

I don't know what it is. I have this desire to entertain. I really wish my blog was like, popular. I wish tons of people read it, and enjoyed it. So much so, that I have been recently thinking about going to a stand up comedy open mic night. Im just not sure though. I hear real comics, all the time, and their material is so good. I don't think I could compete. I dont want to do anything that I am not going to be good at, or so I say. Meanwhile, Im middle of the road in law school. So obviously, mediocrity doesn't scare me as much as I thought. Who knows, maybe I'll give it a shot.

So that Evidence exam was just what I thought it would be....a beotch! Is there anything worse than 4 months of law school, then you get to the final exam, and its half multiple choice? Its like, ok, all that we taught you, all the thinking you have been trained to do, now....guess which one! Might was well play a shell game at the end of the year for grades. Not that I don't know the answers, but purposely making more than one answer seem like the right answer is absurd. Rambling....

When it started, Friends was a decent show. What happened? Somewhere along the line, the show fell apart. Maybe it was the whole fact that half of em didnt have jobs, but they all lived in super nice apartments in Manhattan? I couldn't afford an apartment that size in Guatemala. I remember, that episode, where Monica proposed to Chandler, and she filled the apartment with candles. Everyone is saying, how romantic! All I could think was, damn, how did she afford all of those candles? Those things are like 3 bucks a piece! We all want to do something romantic like that, but who is gonna drop 500 bucks on candles? By the end, it was just ridiculous. Everyone was sleeping with everyone else, everyone loves each other. I read a great analysis that showed how the writers broke the cardinal rule of friendship on that show, not once, but twice! The rule between guys is: You never go out with your friend's ex, and you don't pine after their current girl. So first, Chandler goes for Joey's girlfriend. Then Joey goes after Rachel. What the hell is that all about? And what happened, Chandler had to spend a day in a box? What kind of punishment is that? In the end, all signs pointed to everyone being gay, except Rachel. Monica was the manliest person on the show, which is just sad. Or was it Phoebe?

So I haven't had a drink in like two weeks. It feels good, to get to a simple life style. It's just nice to know that I dont have a problem. You go out on the weekends, and after a while, you start to worry that maybe you are becoming dependant. Then, you just don't do it, cause you have more important things to do. And you realize, Im ok. When I say that I can stop whenever I want, I mean it. I can stop. It is a relief, because there is a history of alcoholism in my family, and I have demonstrated an obsessive personality in many parts of my life. It is good to know that when I say I have changed, Im not blowing smoke. I have changed, for the better. Ok, Ill stop patting myself on the back before I sprain my shoulder....

I read alot of blogs, and most of em talk about their everyday experiences. I have nothing! I have spent the past few days sitting at the desk in my room, writing outlines, reviewing notes, studying, drinking coke after coke. I guess I could write about how annoying bugs are that fly through the cracks in my screen. Or I could write about this crap paint that I did my room in that cost an arm and a leg that scratches off from the slightest bump, so that I have to repaint the freaking place. I could talk about the stacks of notes and books and horn books all over my room. So much so, that it is now a maze to get from the door to my bed. I bumped into a Minatour the other day in this labyrinth. Had to slay him with a highlighter and a bag of M&Ms. Ahh, finals week.....

Ok, Im out. I could sit here and non sequitor all night, but I wont. Look for more rational posts later in the week....

Good night.
