Just trying to finish law school...

Here we go: being a touch psyhcotic, movies, going out to get my drunk on, playing rummy (if i can get pigl-et to play), acting up, metal lunchboxes, complaining, giving Odin baths in the driveway because he is to big for the tub, being loud at the library, reading a good book curled up on my couch, Long and aimless car rides, being a wise-ass, and whatever else I'm in the mood for...

Unfortunately I don't have much time for pleasure reading because I am constantly reading Law books, but when I can....Paulo Coelho, Franz Kafka, David Sedaris, The Painted Bird, True Crime, Go ask Alice, The 5 people you meet in heaven, Grisham, Da Vinci Code, Tuesday's with Morrie. No Sci-Fi. or Romance

Braveheart, Requiem, for a dream, Dead Poets Society, Usual Suspects, Memento, Reservoir Dogs, A beautiful mind, True Romance, Godfather, ET, 16 candles, Raging Bull, Scarface, Goodfellas, Primal Fear.

I like it all...THE BOSS-even though I get made fun of, Pink Floyd, Reverand Horton Heat, U2, Elton John, Tiger Army, Beatsie Boys, Social D, ACDC, 80'S--I love 80's.Raw Dog in the car...woops thats comedy.

Well TV sucks these days, but the one show I will always be home to watch ...LOST, oh my new favorite is House...then Law & Order, Forensic Files, Family Guy, New Detectives, American Dad. NO reality shows- they are really lame.

Capricorn

There will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions. And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare? and, "Do I dare? Time to turn back and descend the stair. But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter, I am no prophetand here's no great matter; I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid. And would it have been worth it, after all, among some talk of you and me, Would it have been worth while, To have bitten off the matter with a smile,To have squeezed the universe into a ball To roll it toward some overwhelming question, If one, settling a pillow by her head, Should say: "That is not what I meant at all. That is not it, at all. And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor-And this, and so much more? But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen: Would it have been worth while If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl, And turning toward the window, should say:"That is not it at all, That is not what I meant, at all.No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant, one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two, Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool, Deferential, glad glad to be of use, Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-We have lingered in the chambers of of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

Forgive but never forget.
He who laughs last is he who cries first.

I know, as my life grows older,
And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong somewhere There lies the root of Right;
That each sorrow has its purpose,
By the sorrowing oft unguessed;
But as sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever is-is best.
I know that each sinful action,
As sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometime punished,
Tho' the hour be long delayed.
I know that the soul is aided Sometimes by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer- But whatever is-is best.
I know there are no errors, In the great Eternal plan,
And all things work together For the final good of man.
And I know when my soul speeds onward,
In its grand Eternal quest,
I shall say as I look back earthward,
Whatever is-is best.
