Man, I don't relate at all to these Connecticut things. I mean I only understand a few of them, and the rest I don't get or they really just don't apply. These jokes simply don't distinguish between white folk living in CT and minoriies, cause I just don't get this stuff.

You Know You're From Connecticut When...

You have hiked up a big hill ( Read more... )

Jay-z will be finishing out the now defunct Best of Both World's Tour without R. Kelly. He will do the remaining dates much the same way as he did his Madison Square appearance by calling on his friends (the tour is now called Jay-Z and friends). For Boston I heard on the Radio P. Diddy and Mary J. are confirmed. I'm tooooo excited. I actually ( Read more... )

You know you live in a liberal state when all the op-ed pieces of the major newspaper lament the election of Bush. All of them in different tones also commented on the division between the blue states and the red heartland. One of them came just short of calling for secession (ala Jackie), the others were more controlled in their response but ( Read more... )

While trying my very best to focus on my homework I ran across this site discussing Haitians in various cities in the U.S. and it had a section on Haitians in Detroit, that I thought might amuse Mia and Isis. Funnily enough one of the men profiled in the piece (if you scroll down to near the end of the article, his name is Julio Bateau) is a ( Read more... )

My new thing is that I'm going into historic preservation. Why you ask? Well, I love houses, buildings in general, and I love history, why not combine the two. So now I got to figure out how to marry that to the law and 'twill be quite lovely ( Read more... )

Alas, there is pandamonium in the streets of Boston and its environs. Honking cars, screaming people, folk running through the streets. I am happy for Boston. Tis a beautiful thing. If this series ain't made you a believer in never giving up I don't know what will. Man, I remember just laughing the Sox to scorn on Saturday over their 19-9 (or ( Read more... )

I have recently become concerned over my inability to eat like a grad student. I got so used to eating well in Jamaica, that I forget I'm on a budget up here and need not be ordering food like three to four times a week. Plus, I'm currently convinced if I continue in my current path of food consumption, not only will I weigh 400lbs before the end ( Read more... )

School is shaping up to be alright but hectic. We are in the process of finding jobs for next summer so things are getting a bit stressful. I am seriously considering a move to DC. It takes a tough person to be a corporate lawyer in NYC, the hours are brutal and unpredictable, even if the money and the training are unsurpassed. So I may have to ( Read more... )

Yea, so I'm on here. I got to remember to limit most of my entries to friends because I know a lot of HLS people are on here, can't have folk knowing my business. So sad to see UJ go.
