Uplate and Bored

So, I finally met some really amazing people (not law students) up here in Buffalo.  It seems most of the people I meet that are not natives of the area are the ones I connect with.  The funny thing is before going back to law school, I would say I was completely anti-social.  I rarely went out and was basically a homebody.  Now, when I go out I'm so very social and meet tons of cool people and all and all have a blast.  I don't even have to be drunk to accomplish this.  It's a great overall feeling.

I'm especially excited because I finally met a girl who, how do I want to explain this, who is a friend soul mate.  We've only hung out twice, yet we really connect, are completely comfortable together and have a really good time together.  You see, being the social being that I am, I meet lots of people and have friends, but I also have only a few really close friends and I believe she will be one for me.  Which is sooooo great for me because all of my close high school friends live in Maryland and my close college friends live in the Mid-West (Indiana and Missouri).  Although I love them all to death, it's not the same as having them in the same City.  So, I'm so thankful I found this beautiful women to be my friend.  Plus, I think we'll both be good for one another.

Ok, changing gears now...so, I was talking with her and a couple of other people and here is what I've come decided is the difference between Reps and Dems.  Reps. look at things from the standpoint of how it effects themselves personally, whereas Dems. typically look at how things will effect society as a whole.  Of course, I'm generalizing, but I when I've asked Reps. why they believe what they do or why they support the things they do, it always is limited to their personal experience or own self-interest.  And since, I never really question Dems. a whole lot about why they believe or support the things they do, I have to look at from my own personal perspective.  Typically, the first thing I consider is what's best for society as a whole rather than my own personal self interest. 

Please do not think I'm criticizing or trying to say one way is better than another.  This is just what I have found up to this point.  Of course, as I keep learning and experiencing I'm sure it will change.  It's always hard to take something so complex and simplify it to such a degree, but here's my first attempt.

Anyway, I really need to try and go to bed.  I've got class at 9:30A tomorrow.

Peace, love and all that jazz.
