so i totally forgot about my little ol’ blog here. sorry to anyone who reads it. oh wait, no one seems to. well, not a whole lot going on in life. i still am a college grad working at applebees and praying for admission into law school. or a postion with the peace corp, or a copy write editor job or anything really as long as i don’t have to wait tables anymore. i hate it. it makes me want to die, because at least in death i would not have to worry about boneless wings, or smell like them either. i need to get out of carlisle and fast. maybe one day i’ll just pack up and move out west. it seems warmer out there and not so much death to local economy as well. sorry i don’t mean to complain so much but i really really really don’t like my job and need to get away….ASAP.

500 pages of rambling about french oppressio of the Jews in a little over 12 hours is a little bit much for my taste, especially when you find out that the paper that you thought was due wednesday is not actually due until the next monday. eh, gives me more time to get all my shit together before New York! I am pretty much beyond excited at this point. so other than my little rant about totalitarianism and facist jerks nothing much is new. oh, i guess moved in with jason…august can’t come soon enough! oh and clayton is in town, but i don’t know if i am going to see him, or really if i want to either, i suppose if he calls i’ll go grab dinner or something, but otherwise probably not.

and on a different note, as long as i don’t screw up too too bad, i think i might be a 4.0 this quarter! heck yes, just remember when you wait until the last minute it only takes one minute to do.

so, I definatley failed a test today. that sucked. you know it’s bad when it takes you the better part of an hour to transliterate a 2 minute dialouge…that you were given before. yikes. also I forgot the word for bike (darajha) and then remembered it on the walk back to the parking garage, which caused me to stomp my feet, pump my fist and start yelling fucking darajha are you fucking kidding me…in the middle of the oval. it was hot.  but seriously it was like the second word we learned in arabic and all i could think of was dejhajja aka chicken. i’m not doing to well this quarter, and i really need to get mostly A’s so i can go to a good law school and get out of ohio!

in sumation, today kinda sucked balls.

ps HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDI

So mom is moving to the great wide west this week. I am really bummed about it. It is going to be strange with my mom living 13 hours away.  I don’t see her terribly often now, what happens when she’s in Dallas? I don’t want to end up like she and my grandparents did, one visit a year. I mean, I knew this was going to happen, but she has been talking about moving out of Ohio for like 6 years! I know she had to do it for work and all, and economically speaking it’s the right choice, but man it really sucks.

On a brighter note, to cheer myself up I bought a pink ipod. It’s cute. Although I do feel like I am abandoning good ol’ Ireland. He has done me so well. I guess, it’s just time to move on.

ahhhh, it is upon us…election season. here is how i think the country should be run:

first and formost, get the hell out of Iraq. we don’t belong there. Osama is not in Iraq. we are creating more enemies the longer we stay. if they don’t want democracy, we can’t force it upon them. something as big as self rule can not be imposed it must be organic, and furthermore…the United States of America is not a Democracy, we have a democratic republic. if we have anyone over there it should be plumbers, electricans, construction workers, ect to rebuild what we tore down. or we should just help the Iraqis rebuild their own country so they can have jobs and running water and other essentials to a civilized life and then start worrying about what kind of system of government they should have. and another thing, i think we should find what happened to the 9 billion dollars that just randomly went missing in Iraq.

secondly i think we should invest heavily into green technology. get us off of oil. and no, nuclear power is not a viable solution. this will create more American jobs, because you just can’t outsource the wind. what’s more the less we rely on oil the less we have to deal with those nutcases over yonder, let India and China duke it out with them. more American jobs, less money to terrorists, 2 birds with one stone. (now this is not to say that all people in the middle east are nut jobs or terrorists, from what I can tell it is quite the opposite, however it is always those with the loudest voices who get noticed)

on the heathcare front I think there needs to be a hybrid system, because as wonderful and glorious as universal healthcare sounds it will not pass congress and it will most likely decrease the quality of our healthcare. I believe that simple things should be free, if you have the flu you shouldn’t have to suffer for 2 weeks with a fever just because you can’t afford to go to the doctor, if you break your leg you shouldn’t have to pay $100 a month for 2 years to get it healed. however if you have a rare form of brain cancer and want the newest and highest technology you should pay for it, or at least your insurance company should. this way the insurance companies stay in buisness, there is still ground breaking research and a poor man doesn’t die from pnuemonia because he can’t afford to see a doctor or get his prescription.

immigration is a toughie but here goes, secure the borders. and get those who entered illegally on the road to citizenship or paying taxes, if they refuse then kick them out or deny them services. it may sound cruel, but it maybe the only way to get the situation under control, and there was a time when i thought differently but now, if you want to be a citizen, learn english. if you run over some kid in your van because you can not read the children at play sign, we have a problem. this is a country of immigrants i understand that, hell i am only second generation american however, my family came here to be citizens of this country not drain it’s resources, commit crimes, and put money into the economy of a different country. and I definatley think that by helping central american economies, especially mexico but not exculsivley, the problem will greatly decrease.

other important points: waterboarding = torture, stop giving tax breaks for outsourcing, close guantanamo, increase (not decrease) the pell grant, stop predatory lending,  pay teachers more,  stop abstance only sex education, recognize gay marriage, grant full and equal rights to both women and gays/lesbians, legalize pot (tell me the last time you saw a violent pot head), keep abortion safe, legal and rare, support AIDS education at home and abroad, get involved where it matters Darfur, Kenya, Congo, Chechnya, ect and stop activist judges.

and last but not least a list of countries and our association with them

• Russia-more dangerous now than in the cold war, keep wary but open lines of communication
• China- economically dangerous, stop importing so many Chinese goods give the jobs to Americans who do not use lead based paint
• Iran- leave them alone, they are on the verge of civil war as it is. they will implode
• France- rebuild partnership with them, they have great art and fine wine
• Israel- stop defending them so ardently, they are screwing the Palestinans and our defense of them is making us an enemy to every one in the middle east
• Saudi Arabia- get out of their pocket, where did most of the terrorists on 9/11 come from….I’ll give you a hint( it starts with Saudi and ends with Arabia)
• North Korea- approach carefully, while Kim Jong Ill may not be much of a threat, big brother China is more than we can handle
• Pakistan- Endorse efforts to keep stable, those fuckers are Nuclear

if you have made it this far, thanks for reading, if you gave up awhile ago, that’s cool too hope you all have a good night

oh it still makes me laugh!

thanksgiving is sooo close! which means it’s almost christmas! yikes! what the hell happened to 2007? so I have narrowed down my law schools to: Michigan State, Penn State, Toledo, UC and Seattle (also slightly considering Louisville, if only because I am pretty sure I am already accepted). I am so torn. Going to UC or Toledo would be so easy, if I go to UC I know everyone and I don’t have to make new friends, if I go to Toledo, I still know quite a few people and I am really close to family. But I also realize that this maybe my chance to get the fuck out of Ohio. not that I haven’t had good times here but, it gets a little old. Not that Pennsylvania or Michigan are much more exciting, but it certainly would be a change, and Seattle, well we’ll see if I have the gaul to really even apply. buuuut, I would have the excuse I have always needed to buy super cute rain boots!

1 more quarter as a buckeye and M*ch*gan still sucks!

i hate applebees. just throwing it out there. i can not wait until i don’t have to get people extra ranch, you have 3 ramikens of it now, really a 4th, is that necessary? whatever, if someone wants ranch, it is my job to get them that ranch. but GD do i hate it. I guess that’s why i’m going to law school. there is no ranch in law school.

also i suck at arabic

also i never see jason anymore, and the funny thing is i actually miss him…weird, i know, i suppose it’s a good thing though to realize that  you have been with this person for 2 years, have weathered some pretty big bumps, and yes, they do piss you off more often than not, but you still love them. and are in love with them. comforting i guess.

it’s sleepy time

so I take the LSAT in a little over a month, whoa! a month ago I was not even thinking of law school and now it’s all I can think about. I’m so stressed about this stupid test. but it really does dictate my future quite a bit. if I get a bad score I’m out 123 bucks but if I do well then I’m digging my self into a debt that quite possibly could amount to over 100,000 dollars! holy shit! and this could be my ticket out of Ohio but I don’t know if I’ll be ready to leave in a year.I’m really considering going to Texas though. it’s a really good law school and all that jazz, plus my networking would increase by like 100% but shit, it’s Texas. I’m also considering Toledo. that would be the safest. I mean then I’m only 45 minutes from Uncle Randy and Ben and Denise, not to mention a half an hour away from Bowling Green…but I don’t know how safe I want to be. and from all reports law school is a bitch. you’re in class for 10 to 12 hours a day plus at least 2 to 4 hours of reading and research a night. maybe going where I don’t know anyone would be a plus.  and then there is Jason. He has said that he’s willing to pack up and go where ever I want to go. When did this become such a committed relationship? I’m mean we have been dating for 2 years now and all, but still. whoa! I would feel really bad if we broke up for whatever reason and he moved all the way across the country. that’s alot of pressure. alot alot. I’m so stressed out about Law School and I don’t even know if I can go yet. ugh!

so it’s my birthday thursday…and I am dreading it. 22. seems old. it makes me think of my life plan in highschool and how far I have fell off of it. eh well, not much I can do about that now.

got an invite to a wedding that I’m not exactly sure that I am ready for. shit it’s time to let it go.
