I've succumbed

I've finally given in to the quasi-evil phenomenon of digital social sprawl. By this I mean either Facebook or MySpace. I've chosen the former, since pretty much every person in my class here at Akron is a member. I know a few people who are only on MySpace, but I am drawing a firm line here: I will only join one of these two possible horsemen of the apocolypse. There are a bunch of interesting features, but I don't have the time to invest into any of them, so I am joining groups and such just as a display for the things I believe in. This means mostly policitically-oriented groups, candidates, and the like. Obviously its utility to keep in touch with people is unmatched, so that's helpful as well.

While I'm here I'd like to give a shout out to Russell Latino. Those of you from Centennial know who he is of course, and a few of the others may have met him or know him through reputation. Russ just found out that he passed the Mississippi Bar. In addition he's engaged to be married. I really don't know which is more significant. I'm not joking. At any rate, grats bud.

For some odd reason, I think I told someone else that I would also post a shout out for him or her, but I can't remember at the moment. Feel free to not only remind me who you are and why I was going to give you dap but to chastise me as well.

Disaster Strikes

Some of you know this already, but a couple of weeks ago my brand new, smokin' laptop was stolen out of my car along with my iPod and Contracts book. They were all in my bookbag which was in my car. Just the day before my window would not roll up because the regulator was shot, and I had not had the time to fix it. While my car was parked outside a bar downtown, someone saw the bag, presumably, got into my car and took it. Needless to say, I was pissed. Not only was I out a laptop, but it sort of made me question what I am doing here. Chances are the person who stole it is of the sort (the less fortunate) that I want to help as a lawyer. So something like this makes me think, "What's the point?" Alas, I am over it and still on track to one day, hopefully, help the same sort of people.

In much better news, I've made some pretty good friends here. Without going through each of their individual histories, suffice it to say they are right up my (our) alley. First of all, they are all left-wing idiots like me. Second, they are all very intelligent, and thus assholes, also like me. We sit around and judge passers by without impunity while taking digs at each other for no other good reason than we have nothing better to do. For the most part these people are all in my section, so we also talk shit about the other day, full-time section, setting up a West Side Story situation. The scence from Scrubs (docs vs. surgeons) comes to mind.

On that note, apparently NBC has pushed back the premiere of Scrubs. In its place they have put forth the Howie Mandel masterpiece "Deal or No Deal." /vomit. While I've heard it's entertaining, if for no other reason the 40 hot women who handle the prizes, it is clearly no Scrubs. As I've said before, a Thursday lineup with The Office, My Name is Earl, and Scrubs is my television wet dream, but NBC has again showed why they are incompetent. Anyway, I guess when it does replace whatever shit, Wednesday show that just started, it will at least have back-to-back episodes like last year. I can't find any information on this though, so anyone who can will have my kudos for a few minutes. Also in television news, Studio 60 did premiere this week. It is going to be amazing. Please watch it.
