Yellow and Blue make Green

But since you been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah

Thanks to you, now I get what I want

Since you been gone
- Kelly Clarkson Since U Been Gone

I can not get that Kelly Clarkson song out of my mind. Maybe because they play it 2 times a day at the gym while I am there, but it is really addictive. I like the way it makes me feel. What bothers me is that I don't like Kelly Clarkson much. I mean, I am impressed that they got her a trainer and made her hot and all, but she seemed like an average girl who could sing, but nothing special. Whomever wrote this song, knows how to write music well.

Juan Carlos is in town. He came down from NY and I hope to make up for Herbert's less than stellar trip by making Juan's time amazing. I have never gone out so much in my life. I hope to take him out every night he is here. I am lucky that his first night will be St. Patrick's Day, so we are going to Ft. Lauderdale where I am told they close off the streets and have a celebration. Terri will be quick to point out that it is not Boston, but not having know the fun of a Boston St. Patrick's Day/Week/Month, this should probably be the biggest celebration I have seen.

Today everyone is wearing green, all types of shade, yet I haven't really seen too much pinching going on. I am wearing yellow and blue, but yeah, nobody cares. I guess I don't care what other people are wearing either. How did beads become parts of St. Patrick's Day?

So took him down to downtown Ft. Lauderdale for St. Patrick's Day on Thursday. I have never seen so many girls wearing green in my life. Due to the rain, it took a while to pick up, but when it did, Juan had one of the best nights ever. We pretty much bar hopped among all the Spring Breakers. I am so glad I discovered this strip of bars because it is a lot more my style than South Beach. Fed went out with us and liked it so much, he went back the following night.

A good compliment I got from Juan, was that I as different and happier. Nothing like a little validation to make you feel good about feeling good. I guess I feel more relaxed and laid back now that I'm not burdened with so much stress. Juan also seemed to be in good spirits and I was impressed with his dedication to running.

Last time I casually mentioned my acceptance as a law clerk for an internship in Texas. Let me tell you now how excited I am. It feels great to have an understanding of where I am going to be and what I am going to be doing. I am very happy for the help and recommendation I got and hope to do a good job. My job next summer is going to be a big deal, so I'm going to have to really start looking early for that one because I want to make sure I find something that will help me decide what I want to do after I graduate.

I am now done with that motion for summary judgment I had talked about so much. Talk about a pain, but hopefully I did well. I worked with Ralph on it, which really helped a lot because I think had I had to do it on my own, it would have been much much harder, I would have worked for less time on it though. Now it is time to get back to law school. One thing I noticed was hard working people studying for class each day. It made me rethink my approach and study habits. I know I'll stick to my usual routine, but it never hurts to work a bit harder.

Right now my room is a mess. I tore my room apart to find an old phone before I got this new one. I have been so busy, I haven't had a chance to clean it up. My plan is to take some time soon and clean it up. I hate having a mess. I have having a conversation with a friend about the difference between messy and dirty. I can be messy, but I'm not dirty...it sucks when a person is dirty, doesn't make for a good roommate I think. Luckily, I make an effort to not be messy and actually enjoy things being clean.


So they kicked my girl off the OC, moving her to Chicago. (illegitimate daughter girl) Nobody liked her but me, which makes me happy because it means that my interests are unique. I saw that she is going to be on some shark attack movie on CBS. Ok, I know she could have picked something better, but at least she is still getting tv time. I watched it only for a bit, but her character didn't impress me much.

We get some time off for Easter, so I decided to go and visit a friend for her birthday. This should be a great trip. I am looking forward to it, despite that it is going to be cold, something I have made a point to stay away from, but I think this will be worth it. I will probably take some school books with me, but I'm sure I won't touch them. I hope to take the experience for what it is, not what I wish it to be or what it could be. I don't know if this will make the week go by faster or slower due to the anticipation.

When Julia was here, I met up with her for lunch. She was staying at her grandmother's in Boca Raton. The name of the community was called broken sound. That is a really cool name, I should start a band called broken sound. I enjoyed seeing first hand a closed gate community. I hope to own a home in Boca when I retire. It seems like a relaxing life, though very closed off from the outside world.

Feds bowls came in. The bowls he purchased for the one he broke of mine. Well I am glad that I found my bowl because his bowls were not bowls, but saucers. They were small and useless, probably made for dips, which is funny because it really makes you think about perspective when looking at webpage pictures. We will find some use for them though.

Math, it is really simple. If you put 10 marbles in a jar and one is red and 9 are black, your odds of pulling a red marble is 1 in 10. This means that if I were to make you a bet, I would say that if you pulled the red marble I'd give you 10 bucks, but if you pulled a black one you give me 1 buck. The is how odds and betting odds work. So I offered Jenny 5 dollars if Texas beats IL in the NCAA tournament, but if they lost, she had to pay me 20 dollars. The odds of beating IL are like 100 to 1, so it was a bad bet on my part, but nobody ever wants to make a bet where they can lose more than they can win. Hence no bet. Instead I joined a bracket tournament with Fed for 10 bucks. I didn't play with my heart like I have in the past, so I have some of my favorite teams going out early. I'll actually admit that I have IL winning the whole thing, even though most of the experts don't have them winning. I miss being at work where the pot is huge, since I'm sure Fed's tournament is going to be somewhat small. (Update: Texas didn't even get to play IL.)

Stay away from negativity, negative people and negative situations is my advice. That shit just seeps into your life and starts to poison your world. What sucks is when someone is positive, yet they choose to be negative around you, maybe they don't like you, maybe you make them angry or resentful. I guess though they may be good, you should keep your distance too. Another problem I have is people I can't help but be negative around. There are few people that fall into that category, but whenever I'm around them, I am very hard on them, expect too much from them and then to give off a disapproving feeling. I tell myself to stop it, but I don't know I am doing it and don't do it on purpose. So all I can do is do them a favor and stay away from them because I won't be able to add anything to their life.

tell me something sweet
