I always find reading updates from LJ more intellectually and spiritually stimulating compared to reading the updates from Facebook. Reading my recent friends page made me miss the days when people actually took the time to gather their thoughts and come up with coherent entries filled with substance. Some people will consider it as an emotional ( Read more... )

"Nostalgia is possibly the greatest of the lies that we tell ourselves. It is the glossing of the past to fit the sensibilities of the present. For some, it brings a measure of comfort, a sense of self and of source; but others, I fear take these altered memories too far, and because of that, paralyze themselves to the realities about them.

It's a little hard to study law when the very people who are supposed to apply it can't even understand plain English. When the Constitution says the President cannot appoint 2 months prior to any presidential election except temporary appointments in the Executive Dept. or when public safety requires it, YOU'RE JUST SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THAT RULE.

We live trapped in loops. Reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out in front of us. We see the same thing each day, we respond the ( Read more... )

Jason took the time to answer some questions his fans posted in Twitter. He answered everything with profundity with a hint of humor (perfect mix when you're trying to write songs :p). This one's my favorite...

My blockmate took the pleasure of copying Dean Roy's more insightful quotes during the three days of Intro to Law. These words really strike a note, especially to those who are still having doubts about their place in this school. Dean Roy's a genius. :)

I watched Terminator: Salvation yesterday and came across a few issues I'd like to voice out.

1.) The whole issue of Sarah Connor telling John about the importance of sending Kyle Reese back in time in order to ensure his continued existence is totally absurd. If we looked at the second Terminator movie, the existence of Skynet was due to the ( Read more... )

I was listening to a few Tony Allen tracks this morning and found every single one mesmerizing. Upon looking at his bio, I noticed that Dizzy Gillespie was one of his influences.
