Spooky Scary Halloween




Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm a little late on my expectations. It's been a few weeks and I've been pretty busy. What with the fun at the whole school and all. Actually, some of that fun of law school went away with the excitement of doing something new.Imagine if you suddenly went and jumped out of a plane. You're excited, you're heart is pumping, and you've never really done anything like it before. The thrill is there as the plane takes off, and you're up in a rickety plane, and the lead jumper is giving you all the information you need. What to do with your body when you leave the plane, how to look around and enjoy the scenery, and what to count to before pulling the chute's cord, are all explained in great detail. It's scary, but exhilarating. You jump. The plane is flying away. You're falling and screaming. You're looking around and taking in the gorgeous scenery. You realize then that you're count to ten has come up, and you pull your cord. The chute opens and when that anvil comes out you realize that all of you're excitement is that fleeting sense of silly security. The jump transformed into an exercise in survival.
When you're tired of trying to keep your head above water, sometimes the only thing left to do is give in and take a drink. So, thank goodness Halloween came around. Let me tell you, everyone hit up this little house party. Pop-eye and Olive Oyl, a dinosaur, Snoopy (me), and there were witches, and soldiers, Sarah Palin, republicans, frat boys, skeletons, and of course swine flu. Some strong points were the ninja turtles, and the D*** in a Box boys, and the "Bridges".



Yeah, there were a ton of great costumes and photos. But just wanted to highlight some of my favorites. So yeah, this is what's been going on. Outside of that, I've been going to school, taking my classes, getting lost in all of the information, wrote a memo, and oh yeah, got a group of students in my section together to grow mustaches for the month of Movember.

What's 'Movember'? you ask. Well, it's essentially a month long effort of men across the States and the world, growing mustaches for a good cause. Yes, you've heard correctly, I'm growing a mustache, or a 'Mo', for those in the know. Yes, it's a little silly and a little obscene, but it's to raise a few dollars to help prostate and testicular cancer research and awareness. So, Section 3's Legal Man-Mos (because, similar to most of our new ventures into writing legal memos, we're embarking onto a mustache venture). So, please, check me out, or check us out, and donate a few dollars to the research and to the cause. us.movember.com/donate (you can look up our team name "legal man-mos" if you'd like to donate).
...
fine, here.
