Delicious

As I worked today I kept picturing my refrigerator. I bought a coconut last night I was savoring it while I worked, all I could picture was the inside of my refrigerator and the coconut chilling for my liking.

Worked until about 3:45 went straight to school to try to catch my advisor before he left for the day. I missed him; need to do my grad check so I can walk this June, according to the secretary I still have time. Well I hope I do if not then I don’t think I will be disappointed but I’ll try so I can please my family. Got home and sat around for a while I kept savoring the coconut until I finally decided to open it.

Going back the market, as I was picking the coconut I saw this reddish tinted coconut looked delicious, now all coconuts are somewhat light in color and tan, well this one was reddish never seen nothing like it, I had to have it. Didn’t think twice, I bought some cereal, bananas and the coconut, oh I bought coconut milk too… don’t know why sounds good though doesn’t it.

At around 7 I opened the coconut, I poured the juice in a cup the juice seemed reddish tinted, usually it is white and clear but this one was reddish clear. I figure this must be the best coconut in the world since it was different, I figure the reddish tint was because it was just so ripe. I then I tried to carve the white milky skin so I can put it in the cup with the juice.

To my surprise there wasn’t anything apparently the coconut wasn’t ripe, it was rotten old, and not like it should have been. Damn it, I was savoring it all day and I come home to this, I couldn’t let it all go to waste so I drank the juice didn’t taste as good as it should have but I still drank it. I was pretty upset afterwards, damn American markets I should have gone to a real market that sell these exotic fruits.

Work tomorrow at 7 again; good thing is that it will be my last day. I quit this job for a new one, I figure I could do better and I did. Got a new one, I felt kind of sad leaving it today since I’ve accomplished a lot of things there, when it comes to working on something I like to leave it perfect with no flaws as everything should be. I’ll be leaving one of my co-workers that graduated from the same school with the same major a year ago didn’t know him until I started to work there, I’ll make sure to give him my number incase he needs anything.

He was always there when I had questions or to just talk about our professors or just school. As of everyone else I won’t miss anyone else apparently people at this place have lost the need to socialize with anyone else but themselves. I like to greet people in the mornings and smile, even though I may be tired and not willing to say anything, I do, I think this is my mom’s doing… ok enough I could write more, getting tired until next time.

Well I Believe This is It

Well this is the beginning of my last quarter; I know where I am going to be for the next couple of months. It is going to feel kind of weird since I haven't achieved anything with great importance lately. Feels good but yet sad, I've been in this situation before were those crossroads have become much too familiar. I am going to see my Math teacher soon to get my last of my letters of recommendation, probably going to work on my personal statement soon.

Saw my parents today, they came to visit briefly. Everything was good; my mom asked me today when I was going to graduate as if she didn’t know. It has been edged in stone for quite sometime now and I’ve told her many times. My dad was same old same old; he sat on my couch and went directly for the remote to watch some sports. I guess you can’t blame him.

Did most of my laundry too, I think I have too many clothes. I should probably give some away since I don’t think I should have that many. About the jobs, well I think I will be ok, I’ve been getting a lot of calls and I have many options, on my last interview I didn’t tell them about law school, I lied through my teeth and told them that I wanted to get into the industry to expand my knowledge and wisdom, the interviewer liked my answer, I had a big smile when he was looking down to my resume, I quickly changed it when he looked up.

I have a 9 o’clock class this is a relief since last quarter’s 8 o’clock class was hard to get up for. Alright going to watch some TV so I can get sleepy until next time.

Dear Ford:

I apologize for the last letter, it was not the starter that was defected it was just the battery. Being that I never changed the battery ever it was time to get a new one, I thought it was something else since I did jump start it and nothing happened. I reschedule my interview for this past Friday I just had a friend take me to it I think I did well.

Oh about that note, hmmm I'm still sticking to it. I will not invest in ford.

Sincerely

Dear Ford:

Thanks for making such a sorry excuse for a vehicle, love how it decided to break down when I needed it most. Missed my job interview and couldn’t go back to work, not only you cost me money but you’ve cost my precious time. My car only has 45k miles on it, it can’t break down yet. No wonder Toyota and Honda are kicking your asses, Note to self no more American cars for me and invest in Toyota or Honda.

Sincerely
-MLS

Spring breAk in FulL swing....

It's one in the morning and I should be asleep I work at 7 in the morning, how fun. I been thinking about the pass couple of months and the dates that I’ve had… they all sucked I need to meet some new people specifically women. I like to say I’m a pretty straight forward guy but when it comes down to it, if she is nice I can’t be straight with her since I have to be nice back. I should just be straight forward and say I’m just trying to get out of the house and you are totally not my type or tell them don’t say a word because your not saying anything interesting just let me enjoy my steak and wine in peace.

Went to the a club on Saturday with my brother and a couple of friends, I wasn’t amused by any of the women, they seem stupid and materialistic so I played along and I asked a bunch of them to dance, a lot of them refused. For the most part I would get rejected and I’ll go dance with the girl next to them. I’m not afraid of rejection the statistics are all for me, all I wanted to do was dance so I danced most of the night; I think my brother was trying too hard though with some of these women. I just sat back and watched, he has a lot to learn.

For the most part I don’t think a dance club is a place to meet a woman that I would possibly like; I like intelligence and don’t think intelligent good looking women go to these night clubs. I guess I’m going to have to change my strategy from night clubs to… I don’t know libraries? Hmmm maybe book stores or coffee shops, I don’t know hospitals? church….

I read a lot of bloggs from women, they all seem very smart and down to earth, I would love to know where do they all hang out at, or migrate to during the evening. They have a lot to say and are very intelligent very deep thinkers, maybe I’m way over my head and these types of people don’t exist, nonetheless I’ll keep looking.

ONe More TO GO

I have my last final of the quarter at 9am today. Glad that this will all be over, trying to read the text for the writing tomorrow. Having problems concentrating since it is pretty loud everywhere I go. Going to LA this weekend I’m looking forward to it since I have not been home for a while. Beginning to look forward to living back in LA I’m sure I’ll be a lot better. Not looking forward to living at home though. I might get an apartment with my brother maybe. Although I do believe that for the best success in law school I need to be fully involved in school and not have a job. I’ll decide on this in due time.

I’ll finally get to see my brother’s bike…

TO sum of this ending quarter, it was a hard one. Little disappointed thought because it made me think even more about school and how hard it is and how far from the end I am. Nonetheless I still look forward to law school and the new people that I am going to meet, the things that I am going to learn.

I been getting a lot of calls about jobs but I can’t get any one of them because they require for me to work full time, this is so disappointing. Got a call from a laboratory that I would love to work but I can’t until June, it seems that they aren’t willing to compromise with me what so ever.

Let’s see plans for spring break, hmmm work and more work, might go surfing ones or twice since one of my old friends got a hold of me. That’s about it, nothing spectacular going to happened no Mexico this time or Vegas. I think it ok, maybe I’m getting to old for this, nonetheless back to my “Torture”… my book is called Torture. Ok until next time

Torture

I’m writing a paper on torture, the assignment is about researching international laws and the statues that the U.S follows in regards this issue. I have to make a “legal” argument stating whether the US is in violation of any laws. It may sound easy since an argument can go any way but for me since I’m new at this it will take some time.

Apparently according to the International Declaration of Human Rights the U.S is in violation of many articles of this declaration, so I thought it would be easy to write. Well it isn’t Bill Clinton wrote Executive Order # 13,107 and it says, I love copy and paste, “Nothing in this order shall create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any party against the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.”

Bill also wrote the following treaty

“Interagency Working Group on Human Rights Treaties

The designee of the Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs shall chair the Interagency Working Group, which shall
consist of appropriate policy and legal representatives at the Assistant
Secretary level from the Department of State, the Department of Justice,
the Department of Labor, the Department of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and other agencies as the chair deems appropriate. The principal
members may designate alternates to attend meetings in their stead.”



The terms in questioned here are the National Security Affairs, Department of State, Department of Justice, and Joint Chiefs of Staff; These terms are written ambiguous. I found that they are, I didn’t think they were but they are, these terms do not include the intelligence agencies of the Department of State or the Central Intelligence Agency, this means CRAP. I want to find the US liable of torture but I can’t. Now I’m force to write that they are not.

I don’t know, I know from studying legal reasoning that I can not implement my personal believes into an argument, I believe that this will be hard to do. I’ll have to read more into the Declaration; I believe that if I can find somewhere on there that all nations and their affiliated agencies should obey by these regulations I may have a case. I’ll see.

Well back to my paper.
