To continue to be the most royal thing stalking this globally warmed, dirty, and destined to be doomed planet.

Offenders: Bloggers Everywhere
Offense: Uninspired blogging

Blogging is a serious endeavor. One should not assume the role without carefully considering its many consequences. Although the demands of blogging appear simple on the surface, they can drain the most creative wordsmiths of us all. The fact is a blogger need only be original in his thoughts and opinions and post frequently enough so as to satiate the
devoted readers of the blog. Possessing thoughts and opinions might pose an obstacle to some individuals like GDub but for the rest of us it really isn't an issue. That being said apparently some of those residing in the blogosphere are unaware of the definition of frequent. Frequent isn't once a month nor is it twice a week. I am tired of visiting my favorite blogs and discovering that they have not been updated in almost three weeks. I need my fix especially at work with little else to preoccupy my time. Some bloggers might even argue they need time to live the lives they detail on the net. Yet, the fact that you are visiting your family or just taking a vacation is inconsequential to me. Do you think I care that are you actually doing the things you blog purport to relay on your blog? Guess what, I don't. I want to be entertained. So put the Pina Coladas down, tell the parents you love them, and get to your laptop and tell me all the funny stories about how Aunt Judy showed up to Christmas dinner alone because she caught Uncle Fred with the next door neighbor, Alex.

Punishment: Spending the night in Times Square with all the crazies celebrating NYE

Go Giants

This is probably blasphemous coming from a Cowboys fan but I am cheering for the NY Football Giants because I hate Bill Belichick and his Patriots even more. Giants please ruin those cheaters' season.

Belated Birthdays

As many of you know I have a very strong memory. I can remember what people were wearing the first time we met, how they smelled, and even what their younger sibling's favorite movie is. However, when it comes to birthdays I am literally a hot mess. I truly make a concerted effort to remember and yet they always seem to sneak up on me and then pass right by me. Ask my grandmother, cousins, or more recently my college buddies. I don't know what my problem is but I want to issue a public apology to anyone who's birthday I recognized after the fact and to anyone who has a birthday approaching. The fact is I am going to forget and remember days later. My Bad in Advance.

Creative Destruction

A term coined by Joseph Schumpeter in his work entitled "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy" (1942) to denote a "process of industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one."

Dr. Phil/Oprah Moment of the Day
As we approach the new year I encourage us all to initiate the process of creative destruction in our own lives. What habits do you need to rid yourself of? What habits do you need to nurture? Lets take a serious inventory of ourselves so we do it big in 2008?

Felix Dies Nativitatis

In other words Merry Christmas. I hope everyone is having as wonderful a Christmas as I am. I got to spend a ton of time with my family, which equaled a ton of laughs. Everyone at least acted as if they liked the gifts I got for them. Although I am not sure, you can be upset about a gift card to any store in the mall. I was definitely pleased with the gifts I received: clothes and money. Now, I can pay off those debts I incurred to purchase gifts. Anyway, I have to count tomorrow so I am going to enjoy my day off.

Christmas Shopping

I am done with the commercial farce that is Christmas. I got my last gift today and can proudly say I survived the battleground that is every mall in America right now. I have never seen people act so savagely to purchase items for other people. Its not as if these gifts represent life or death. Yet, people are willing to fight and argue over the last size 9 of some ugly shoe from last season that neither of them should be willing to pay for and that the department shouldn't even attempt to sell. I think I almost had anxiety attack. I am not sure what it is but I am truly incapable of dealing with the average person. Next year, I promise to only frequent quality establishments that the savages cannot afford. Oh, and in case you were wondering I'll be counting tomorrow, Christmas Eve. August can't come fast enough.

LSAT Score

Its in people. I got my score a day early. I am not ecstatic but I am content. I scored in the range of where I was testing. Surprisingly, I didn't lose that many points on Logic Games. Thank you Powerscore. I got more Logical Reasoning questions than I usually do wrong. Anyway, I got a 163, 88th percentile, which means if a 100 people took the test tomorrow I would do better than 88 people. So I guess I am not a total idiot. Its weird having my score. I wanted a 170 but will definitely take my 163. Now I need to apply to a couple of more schools just to be safe.

Thanks for all the support over the past couple of months. I will definitely keep everyone up to date on my status during the application process.

Set the Mood Right

Apparently, I have an attitude problem. Who knew? According to my parents I am always an a bad mood. My mom refers to me as Mr. Evil and my dad just laughs at me. I take exception to such characterizations but it is always great to get feedback on how the people closest to you perceive you. It doesn't mean I am going to change or that whatever vibes I give off are wrong. Its just an interesting thing to note. The fact of the matter is although I complain about counting all the time i am pretty content with the overall direction of my life. I mean I feel good. I am not depressed and definitely am not unhappy. Maybe, I just need to smile more and stop telling people what I really think. Yeah, right. Sorry kids I'll continue to be he mean old man you perceive me to be because thats who I am.

Spear Time

This Jamie Lynn Spears being pregnant is pure hilarity. How does she even have spare time for sex? Shouldn't she be on set or better yet studying? Don't they have tutors over at Nickelodeon? All I know is its a sad sad situation for the Spears clan. What type of parenting is going on that household? All that money and they still are living like they're in the trailer park. I guess that old saying holds true: You can take them out the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out of them. Sidenote: Britney please allow a skilled black woman to work on that weave so you can stop running around looking like a an old dirty Raggedy Anne Doll.

What to Do?

This weekend was one of those weekends when I had absolutely nothing to do. Now that I am not studying it is as if my weekends have no purpose to them. I run a couple of errands on Saturday and Sunday watch a bunch of football. Its not what I would describe as exciting. I guess after Christmas things will get a little better. I can get back to my favorite pastime, shopping, when the savages vacate the malls. Until, then I am stuck in the house on the Internet with not many interesting things to read. If anyone has any suggestions on things I can do leave a comment. I may possibly consider taking into account your advice.

Out of Hand

Its really getting out of hand at Savings & Loans. Some guy was walking up and down the cubicle rows with a shoe shine kit asking if people wanted a shoe shine. I mean really. When did this become the Port Authority Bus Terminal? Isn't it supposed to be a place of business? I was trying to read my blogs and definitely did not want not want to be interrupted to tell someone I'm not interested in a shoe shine. When was the last time you sat at your desk and thought, "you know I really could use a shoe shining." The Titanic is getting closer and closer to that iceberg. That is all.

Rose, You Better to Learn to Swim

Today at work we had a very interesting discussion about planning ahead. A top Savings & Loans executive resigned today signaling that the boat ride is getting a little rocky. So the question came up did any of us have a life raft? I was like, "Hell, yeah." I would be a fool to not have a back up plan when I am traveling on the damn Titanic. Oh, and my name is not Jack so Rose you better believe I am not sharing my life raft. Chick better learn to swim.

LSAT Nightmares

Last night, was a terrible night. I had a dream that I got a terrible LSAT score and was unable to take the test again. The dream was so bad that it actually woke me up. It was my worst nightmare, not being able to leave counting in the fall. How sad would that be. I don't think I would be able to cope. Luckily, it was only a dream. Oh, if anyone is keeping count we are at the halfway point of my score coming back. 10 Days to go.

Savings & Loans

Savings & Loans has a new Head Counter. I am not particularly impressed with his counting credentials. Who can't count to 100? Anyway, all I know is a lot of counters will probably be losing their jobs in the comings months. Let's hope I can at least make it until the summer.

What's Love Got to Do With It?

Ike Turner, is dead. Yes, Tina's deadbeat abusive husband died today. It must really suck for the highlight of your obituary to be that you abused your wife. Shame on you IKE.

Christmas Spirt

Can I be the first to say I am not a big Christmas fan? Its such a fake holiday in my opinion. You have to buy gifts for ungrafteful people who you really don't like. You have to be kind to rude people you'd much rather cut with a dull butter knife. Plus, you have to shop with a bunch of savages. It is as if these plebs have never been to a mall before. I don't know about you guys but I am vowing to buy as little gifts as possible. I refused to let this manufactured cheer and happiness get the best of me. I vow to be good to the people I love and cherish year round not once a year. That is all.

Applications

Online Applications are such a beautiful thing. They have changed so much since I applied to colleges five years ago. The process is much more automated. The LSAC actually saves so much time in terms of getting administrative type tasks done. I am applying to five to six schools so that's hours of time typing out forms and applications that they have taken care of with their systems. Thanks LSAC. Next week, might be the first week that I will not have a single law school activity to do. I can't wait. Then I can spend all my time worrying about my score and waiting for replies from the magnanimous schools that I applied to.

I HATE MY JOB!

I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!I HATE MY JOB!

I Got Growing Pains

Yup, the Mary album has leaked two weeks before its official release date and of course the stan in me forced me to download it. One word: Wow! She did it again. Another hot one from the queen. Its not your typical Mary record either. Its not as rough or loud or tough as past Mary records. It is composed of a lot more mature and lush arrangements. Yet, the soul is still there. Its a beautiful record that explores a lot of topics that everyone can relate to. You can't listen to this album and to not walk away thinking you're a King or Queen. So fall all you serfs out their go cop the album and maybe one day you too can be royalty.

Offender: A Certain Top 20 Catholic University
Offense: Unsolicited Phone Calls

PLEASE STOP CALLING ME. I mean damn! If you call someone's house everyday for a month and they don't pick up the phone that typically means they don't want to talk to you. It does not mean to assume the role of tele-marketer or bill collector and call so much that I have to pick up the phone and curse you out. Its very unbecoming of a school with a multi-billion dollar endowment. It comes off as very plebeian and so unbecoming. I mean really. I just graduated. That means I still owe you people tens of thousands of dollars. No, I do not have any money to donate for you to give to an obese, slovenly, overpaid, overrated football coach. I definitely don't have any money to support anyone else's dream when my dreams are being crushed daily by the debt i obtained to get a degree from this place. So stop calling me because I don't have a dime to spare.

Sentence: Full reimbursement of four years of tuition to compensate me for my pain and suffering

Wicked

My new music find is this Brit-ish girl Estelle. I really like her flow. She raps like she is from the hood with a Brit-ish accent. I love the Brits especially those who have rugged voices. Listen to her sing the hook.

LSAT Recap

A HOT MESS!!! Judgement Day has come and gone. Let's just say the test was not what I expected it to be. First, LG were games that were pulled out of nowhere. Unlike previous years they included a number of variable sets that didn't make the games impossible but obviously made me think a lot more than I wanted to. You don't pull a damn rabbit out of your hat on a day like this. Shame on you LSAC.
Logical Reasoning wasn't too bad I actually think I did better than usual on those two sections. Reading Comp was a lot harder than any of the practice test I had taken. I don't know what they were thinking. Even the easy questions like summarize the point of the article were hard.
Clearly, the people over at LSAC had it in for us today. They were like we have a trick for those fools who want to wait until the last minute to take the exam. Seriously, if I had to take a stab at my score a 170 is not going to happen. I would be happy with a 160 at this point. I am not even sure thats going to happen. In three weeks we shall know.
At least all my favorite salespeople at Uniqlo, Club Monaco, and Urban Outfitters will get to see me again. AMEX and VISA watch out because I am coming for you.
