Last night, I added to the list perhaps the most stellar of stories one can tell over a pint, although details of which I must omit because it involved my mates. I was left most aghast, although this wave of prudeness was as refreshing as it was surprising. But perhaps, more importantly, besides the gloriously salacious details it entails, it did get me abit pensive during my immense hangover this morning.
I remember a happy-clappy friend that I used to be very close to during my happy-clappy days used to repeat the cliche: talk is cheap. Indeed it is. For all the confident talk about principles, when it comes to the crunch, the choices we make are perhaps the most important thing. I have made some rather poor ones, especially last summer, but I'm proud to say I have been largely sound this year.
I'm hoping I'd be able to keep up the general principles I have so often been ranting about. And my best mates are free to kick my ass if I don't! :P

:(
Revision has been driving me nuts. But I'm going to have to be positive i reckon, and hopefully catch abit of soul while i'm at it. Thirsty for some. Anyhow, I'm just going to watch abit of inbetweeners and go back to it.

The elusive 2:1
I have 2 more exams next week. And have only covered 2 out of the 12 topics i need to revise for, half of em, i barely touched in the semester. But I've been studying for three hours and am bored out of my wits. It is significantly more productive studying in the library than in my room with facebook and the internet, which is why after going for breakfast in about 15 mins, i shall head for the library.
But in the meantime, i realise the 2:1 I need for getting a decent vacation attachment next year which would hopefully lead to alot of money post graduation, and subsequently a life of comfort, riches and beautiful women(whose absence in my life this semester is rather jarring), is rather elusive.
Which is cause for me to work harder. So the library it is... And the library can get rather fun, especially when your brain gets fried after hours on end of looking blankly at cases. Consider the following...
Matt: I was thinking i'd get with M that night.
Me: ah, but she ain't that fit is she?
Matt: I know, but you wouldn't mind would you
Me: ah, i know, but she's more of a tuna sandwhich, not a cheeseburger you really wanna sink your teeth into.
laughter, then a pause, to which we both turn our attention to this really fit girl strolling towards us.
Me: Now that's a cheese burger.
Sami/Kurt: Yea, Diplock is having a go at Denning again.
Random year 2: Yea, those two are always at it. I reckon Denning shagged his wife.
Matt: Fuck. I'm cold.
Soph: But you're sitting on the radiator.
Matt: Yea, my ass is warm, but the rest of me is cold.
Oh yea, the scandalous confessions you get to hear there as well:
X: My mum made me clean a stain in the drawer.
Y: What?
X: It's the computer room, and only i use it. And I had a wank in it cause I couldn't go on the floor.
Y: Fucking hell mate.
X: Yea, i had to clean my wall as well after my mum pulled my bed away from it and spotted a similar yellowish stain there.
X: I'm not touching Parliamentary accountability
Y: Why not mate? It's really easy, just debates, question time and stuff.
X: Because I did not attend the tutorial
Y: Why not?
X: I was getting a blowjob
Y: Who???
To which the answer to the question I am not at liberty to divulge. Good times.

My mind is tired and full
In true debater fashion, i've got three issues to whine about.
1. Van Duyn and Van Gend En Loos
The dutch should just stick to getting high and keep away from the ECJ. This two rulings seem so vague in terms of the criteria to when a law is directly applicable, for Van Gend En Loos, or when a law should have direct effect. Oh ya, Marleasing is equally vague. ARGH
2. In Good faith
Me thinks the scope of interpretation of good faith needs to be seriously broadened when it comes to slander/contempt of court in my dearest country.
3. Which is what i wanted to blog about actually!!
I want to be Neruda-esque in love, Pacquiao-ish in work, and have an Einaudi feel to life. Seems to be working for work and life, but could use abit more in the loving department. sigh.
