I was reading an article this morning in the Washington Post that discusses the sale of operations of the ports of Baltimore, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Miami and New Orleans to a company in United Arab Emirates. For those of you not up on your maritime law, the federal government has approval power over trade relations that may pose a ( Read more... )

Strangely enough, all of my classes have been canceled this week by my professors. What’s the deal with that?! It’s one thing if I decide to skip a class. If I’m paying for it, it’s my prerogative. But from an institutional standpoint, I PAY YOU for a service. You can’t just cancel class because you have something better to do. Well I suppose you ( Read more... )

Ahem, so in my infinite love for the list making, I'm currently in process of the creation of a new one and would appreciate your help. If I have enough responses by Friday, it'll be this week's top ten list. HOWEVER, this is a serious list...the list of things want to do before I turn 30 ( Read more... )

Fasten your seatbelts for many posts in the next few days. I'm back working at the architecture firm I was at in December, which means I can only get to my school e-mail and LJ for sources of internet entertainment. My hands are already shaking from Myspace/facebook withdrawal. So I'll begin with the "up to speed" post so that I can download my ( Read more... )

I'm so ready to graduate...I'm sitting here watching a romantic comedy instead of doing my homework. But I'm sorry, it's got Patrick Dempsy in it. I'm defenseless. Anyone else wonder how he could go from being the poster child for nerds (re: "Can't Buy Me Love") and now is leading man hot? I guess it's just because deep down, nerds are hot, because ( Read more... )

So my day today was riddiculously long, yet overall rather good. Lots of positives, can't complain. But lets face it, it's Wednesday. Two more longs days until the weekend. Therefore, I can think of nothing better to post tonight than a sight that will surely give you all a mid week 'pick-me-up.' CAUTION: you may find yourself watching this more ( Read more... )

For whatever reason I tend to have a dream cycle in the late mornings. I refer to these dreams as "between snooze button dreams" as these are the only ones I ever remember and happen when I'm being rudely awaken by my alarm clock. This morning I had a very strange one. I was back in high school winter guard (colorguard in the off-band season, more ( Read more... )

Hey kids, my head has been processessing thoughts 'in blog' for about the last week. I guess I knew that I should be writing on here, just never got around to writing it down. Partly because I was busy being a social butterfly, which is fine and dandy, but now I have to buckle down and get some work done. I did however come up with at top 10 for ( Read more... )

Noting that I'm definetly not the type to keep things bottled up, yesterday's post was a necessary evil. Simply mentioning that shit happens makes it easier to move on. With that said, I feel like I owe you all some uplifting silliness, so here goes ( Read more... )
