Here is a good site. Totally addicting, like most useless crap on the web. My best is 319.9. Enjoy. Im sure you will get sick of it in like 4 minutes, like I did.

Ok, you loyal blog readers. I have created blog number 2. I and some friends have a predilection for freestyling when under the influence of the alky hall. I have decided to make it a web freestyle, and all are welcome to enjoy, and participate. Just be warned, if you join, and are wack, you will be expelled, and talked about over and over again. Here is the link:

Excel and enjoy my cherubs. See you soon....

Ok, Im pissed. Im a law student, and nothing annoys me more than baseless lawsuits. This stupid lady in Tennessee has filed a class action suit in regards to the Janet Jackson half time deal. Oh man, can't we make a rule that puts this lady in jail? The real culprit is this jackass lawyer who took the case. This guy should be disbarred immediately. Wow, he passed the Tennessee bar. Whoopee! The guy isn't even a real lawyer then. Augh, here is the link.

Man, I am a bad blogger. I haven't posted in a week. Life has been tough. Im supposed to not talk to my wife for like 2-3 months. Is that even possible. It seems odd to me that she thinks the key to working out a relationship is to not communicate. I thought that was how we got in this mess in the first place. I digress...

I feel great. Cut my drinking by about 80%, only on the weekends now, if that. Im working out, and I have started....get this, yoga. Yeah, Im serious. Yoga freaking rules. Strength, flexability and balance - you get them all from a simple 20-30 minute yoga session. Let's just say im a little over a week into it, and I feel like a million bucks. OK, I feel like a hundred bucks, but considering how I used to feel, Ill take it.

Ever get so out of shape that you start breathing heavy after climbing the stairs up one floor? Is there anything more pathetic? Some people can run 26 miles straight, then bike and swim for god knows how long. Meanwhile, I get woozy trying to step up on the curb.

Another thing: Why do people who are going to the gym look for the closest parking space? You are about to go inside, and run on a treadmill, or stairmaster, or life 1000 lbs for an hour, and you are trying to limit the distance you have to walk? When I open a gym, there will be no parking. Just jog over, lazy bastards.

What is the handicap parking situation at the Para-lympics? Is it still just those two spaces?

Ok, let me chime in on this Mo Clarett thing. First and foremost, it is the right decision. You can't limit a person's opportunity to make a living based on an arbitrary age limit. The level of difficulty these younger players have in succeeding in the league will set the age limit by itself. It is the same concept as an efficient market, which says that the news and information made available to the public will lead to a proper pricing of assets by investors. The same thing will happen here. Let in the sophomores, and if they succeed, then the bar is moved down. If they fail, then the NFL is proven right. Look at the NBA. If HS players came into the league and sucked, the NBA wouldnt draft them, it is that simple. Since they have succeeded, then the bar is moved down, and they must now scout them.

And don't confuse this with the tennis players and golfers out there who start so early. The bottom line is that those who are good enough to compete at a young age should be allowed to. It is all about skill and ability, and has nothing to do with age. I mean, there are 10 year olds out there who are more informed about the upcoming election than half the 40 year olds out there in the voting community. Hell, there is a nation of 18 years olds who are not alcoholics, and an equal amount of "responsible" 30 years olds who are in 12 step programs. Age is as arbitrary a limitation as skin color or sex. Whatever happened to opportunity based on merit? Am I that naive still?

OK, I must respond to an email from James Potter in Chicago, who wrote the following:

Our net income is $4 BILLION per year…and we’re laying 1,000 people off to make ourselves more streamlined. That’s my problem with America. A company makes $4,000,000,000 per year…MAKES…that’s not revenues…that’s bottom line…and they are going to fire a thousand people because they “owe it to their investors”. I am confused. Fuck the nation’s economy by raising the unemployment rate, take away people’s ability to pay mortgages, buy cars, eat out at restaurants, put their kids through college…meanwhile, you clear $4 billion. Ruin 1,000 people’s lives, and now you make $4.0007 billion. Know what I’m saying? Companies should be held responsible for the irresponsible termination of jobs. Say, if you make XXX amount of money, and this can be measured by 100 different ratios or metrics, whatever, you cannot lay anybody off unless for just cause….not as part of general layoffs….

To him, I say this:

so where do you set the line? isnt there a long term vision by the board that you can lean on? Truth is, i dont agree. The problem is board members who worry too much about hte basic legal tenant that the job of a corporation is in increase shareholder value. Im sorry, but shareholders are nice, but what about stakeholders? Dont you owe a greater responsibility to a person you recruit, train, hire and nurture? They are sacraficing the LIVES of employees, and argue that they do it to maintain the interests of the pocketbooks of people who are only involved with the company on a tangential level. I totally agree with you. You know what the real problem is? The board members are the shareholders they are protecting! The officers are the major shareholders, you dont think they know this. The problem is that while markets are efficient in their reaction to news, the important news is not accounted for. Shouldnt we sell shares in a company that mistreats its employees? I cant imagine they weeded out 1000 people for just cause! Its just not mathematically legitimate. Im sure there are micro arguments here for the legitimacy of these firings, but the macro vision is overwhelming. When you use amoutns like 4 bill? And then argue streamline? Its like the old Eddie Murphy bit about Johnny Carson being worth 300 mill. You aint worryin about making ends meet.....the ends are meetin like a motherfucker! This is what I mean when I say the real world and the legal world collide every second of every day. One of the on going questions in regards to corporations and their responsibilities is....how much is too much? The classic case is the Ford case. Henry Ford was making so much money, I mean really, an insane amount of money. And he decided to reinvest the money in the firm, and improve the corporation as a whole. Shareholders sued, saying they were entitled to that money in the form of dividends. The shareholders won, and that has changed the face of corporate management since.....

No movie review again. I haven't really seen anything new of note lately. I have gone back and attempted to watch all of the Friday the 13th movies in order. I must say.....they stink! I mean really, there is nothing interesting going on there. But once begun, gotta finish. So, I have 3 more to go, then I am free of this series. You know, you grow up, and your friends see these movies, and they describe them, and they sound so freakin scary! Then, you go watch them later on, to see what the hype was about, and it is just one huge disappointment. Eh, what can you do....

Bye the way, just checked my old blogs, and the quote I made was, "I am predicting one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time." Don't I get some credit for that? You know, being a freakin genius?

Ok, be back soon.....
