Calories
Restarted my diet today, this is like the 15th time this summer. Hopefully this one will last and I'll switch to a more healthy food lifestyle like I had before I joined the military ( Read more... ) -
Lavender Law Conference
So I just got back from the Lavender Law Conference in NYC (Brooklyn specifically) and it was amazing. I'm already excited for next year when it will be held in South Beach (score!). Even though I should be working on like 100 things right now, I feel like summarizing a bit ( Read more... ) -
Ted Kennedy
I've been wanting to write an entry about the death of Ted Kennedy, but I'm not really sure what to say. He was an amazing legislator. He was able to stay true to his principles but also knew how to compromise to get support from those who were ideologically different from him.

Rather than worrying about labels, I want him, and ( Read more... ) -
ODU
Classes are done at ODU, woohoo. Just have to finish my dissertation and take a couple tests. Hopefully everything will be all done by January/Feb, but we'll see ( Read more... ) -
Some Fun Quotes
One cannot simultaneously "uphold" and "wipe their ass" with the Constitution.
Gandhi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
We must defeat them over there, or they'll follow us home ... hide under our beds ... and grab us by the ankles when we get up to pee.

Train our Kids for Iraq
First off, a good advertisement hitting Senator "Keep the troops in Iraq" Collins (R-ME):
Second, my roomates are back from NTC which means no more barracks to myself. ::sigh:: But on the bright side, my paperwork came back from the PEB (Physical Evaluation Board) today, although I haven't seen it yet. I should be getting a call tomorrow from ( Read more... )
