Valentine's Day
After 8 years, I’ve run out of good ideas for Valntine’s Day…until I found the heart-shaped pizza. Elvis was working from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. that day so I thought it’d be cool to deliver a heart-shaped pizza to his workplace to 1) embarrass him a little bit and 2) so he’d stay full the entire night. I expected something like this…after all, when you advertise...

Another month and a half.
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, ‘half empty or half full?’….. she fooled them all… “How heavy is this glass of water?”, she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20...

I get that all the time...
When I first have a conversation with someone that surpasses the realm of native regions and college majors, their response is almost always something along the lines of “I’m surprised you’re from LA”, “You seem more like a Nor-Cal person”, or “San Francisco is thee absolute perfect place for you”.

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid....
If
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream...
Which variable will I take?

I could blame my results on other factors, like it was the day after Friday when I took it and I had just finished listening to Rebecca Black.

the LSAT is tampering with my soul.
LSAT prep has caused many personal battles to ensue. Currently trying to evaluate self-worth as my testmasters instructor went to columbia, studied prisons in New York, got tution and living expenses paid for at oxford university via the marshall scholarship, and got a 177 on her LSAT.
Bleh, there are amazing people in this world.
GO KINGS GO!!!

hope
there are many things in this world that give me hope, sources of hope are everywhere for me. but every time, its just so short-lived. how to stay positive and believe in yourself? so much ambivalence especially when both sides of the table, to an extent, always have a point in what theyre saying. maybe it comes down to how your own mindset is. but then theres that, my mind is not set. i’m...
