A note to those about to take the bar exam

Last year about this time, I took the Vermont Bar Exam (and passed!). The bar exam summer is probably one of the worst summers in any aspiring lawyer's life. You spend your angst-ridden days in review classes, go home to spend hundreds of hours with the books, and then get to take a pretty stressful two or three day test for your efforts. Wonderful.

That can make you want to punch, choke, kick, or submit someone. I don't recommend you do that. Unless you're this guy.

And even then, looks like it's not such a great idea.

For your 803 exception studying pleasure. More for the seriously nerdy.

Money + Show = Lots of Money

Usually I reserve any and all WWE topics for the good Doctor, but him and I chatted about this not to long ago. He was unimpressed, I however, see this as the next trend in American sports.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather has signed a 20 million dollar contract to fight "The Big Show" in the upcoming WWE Wrestlemania XXIV. Get used to these kind of WWE match-ups. Boxing is a dying sport and I dont see wrestling picking up new fans due to success of UFC and other MMA promotions. This doesnt come to me as a big shock. Some of sports finest athletes took their shots at fighting in the WWE ring; e.g. (Among others of course) Mike Tyson, Steve McMichael, a ninja, etc. Hell, even my favorite bands lead singer, Billy Corgan, took center stage. I could easily see more boxers, more ex-football players, and hell, a basketball player or 2, other elite players with name recognition do the same thing in upcoming years with WWE.

I have always been a boxing fan, and to me this is somewhat dissapointing. I remember when boxing was an elite sport, which tested a mans physical limits as well as mental toughness. A fighter would train for months just to fight for 30 minutes. It was hard for me to admit that boxing is dead but the corruption, piss poor promotions, even pissier match-ups, and the depletion of top talent was all the reasons to lose supremacy over MMA. Oh well it seems. I just wish Floyd Mayweather wasnt the one cashing in. Give me Bernard Hopkins. That man spent learned to fight while serving significant years in jail. I want him fighting the Show. Even Gonzo could agree on that one.
