My self-summary Propose an edit

Finishing up 3rd year law school (update: I am currently studying to take the NY state bar examination. Therefore some days I have time to think... Some days I think enough to feed myself, and some days I even find time to reply back to messages. If I didnt reply, sorry- Im a dick. Ill write back, the exam is soon...)

(update 2 : Ive taken the bar exam, but not yet a lawyer. They just have several hoops in between the time that you finish law school and they let you be a lawyer. I have all sorts of issues with thte whole process but that would be appropriate in a diary or blog. on the upside, I am working doing some criminal defense work now.

vegetarian but not a preachy one... somewhat artsy, somewhat nerdy, somewhat guyish, somewhat metro/ fashionable, somewhat of a rugby player, somewhat Jewish, but somewhat agnostic, I believe the term for Gen X'ers is "cultural Jew," somewhat political, ok Im kind of insanely political... I am both policy and politics oriented (hackish and wonkish)... I used to enjoy railing against Bush and I still believe that he has done more to destroy this once great country than any other person in its 220 year history... but even beating up on him and the "dead end 27%" of the country that insists on supporting him gets old... okay maybe it doesn't...

I have a penchant for 3 piece suits, designer jeans, pocket watches, vintage T's and cuff links/french cuffed shirts...

Also, additionally I have a penchant for vinyl LP records

Also additionally furthermore I have a penchant for Black and White (not fucking half-moon, or half-and-half cookies) half sour kosher pickles, dried cranberries, manchego cheese-quince paste, and DOJO's (NYC) soy burger dinners (seriously folks desert-fucking- island food)

Also, additionally to the additions prior to this edition I have a penchant for single malt scotch (lately Laphroaig, and Macallan)...

Also additionally even more still so I have a penchant for the ellipsis...(clearly)

I find that most everything fictional on TV is good today, while reality shows invariably piss me off... music is kinda important, new wave, electronic, jazz, punk, hip-hop, soul, and funk. Like going to the movies and watching them at home as well.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

(done with) Law School... now I am doing most lawyering things other then actually appearing before judges and arguing
.. Hola! Me Llamo Jay! Soy abogado, a su servicio... okay my Spanish sucks but I maybe able to half carry on a conversation with you if you were so inclined to humor me.

(update: waiting for the pasty white asses of those in charge of administering/grading the bar exam to finish up and tell me if I can play in the sand box or if they have the pleasure of further acquiesced rape of my tender virgin ass....

my one respot these days is gardening... I know its crazy, but I started growing vegetables this summer and it is awesome... it is like my 1-2 hours a day that I dont have to think about who the fuck owns blackacre or whether David is strictly liable in tort to Paul...

Yes though I still play rugby (the team had a vote whether to kick me off for my agrarian activities and I am happy that a full 57% of the team were not so homophobic as to remove a gardener...)

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I once cheated on a High School math regents exam, I know... I'm a horrible person, I mean the proctor had apparently worked all the multiple choice questions out and had her answer key in my face while she answered the question of a person sitting next to me. Seriously, this was not planned at all, I got maybe 7 or 8 answers... just sayin.

Overall I'm not a terribly private person though, I'd be willing to admit most anything to people about myself.
