NBA2K indeed

well, they did it.  they killed the season.  i wish the world had ended in 2000.  then i never would have had to feel this pain.

gooooooooooooooooals!!!

i was going to post some footage of real's awesome playoff winning goals, but then they lost against l.a. schmalaxy and i am too sad to put up something peppy like the season highlights.  it's not the same.  not the same at all.

but i do have a new goal.

by the end of law school, i want to know the supreme justices so well that i will have favorites and disfavorites, allies and arch-nemeses.  i want to be able to say such sentences as, "oh, justice scalia, i love and/or hate him because in what's-his-face v. blahdeeblah he..."  or, "justice samuel anthony alito, jr. is such an angel/devil.  his ruling/dissent in..."

so, here is 2011's starting line up of supreme court justices:

       John G. Roberts, Jr.- THE chief justice of the united states

     Antonin Scalia

      Anthony M. Kennedy

      Clarence Thomas

      Ruth Bader Ginsburg

      Steven G. Breyer

      Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr.

      Sonia Sotomayor

      Elana Kagan

and there you have them.  the batmen and catwomen of justice in our nation.  so far, based on the research i have done (looking at their pictures) my hopes for favorite and disfavorite are:

favorite- clarence thomas.  of course.  he seems like the allstate guy of the supreme court.  

disfavorite- ruth bader ginsberg.  no one is fooled by that fancy collar thing.

who ever knew i would want to intimately know the 9 supreme court justices.  not i.  i can tell you that.  perhaps it is because the nba seems so likely to leave me in the lurch this winter, trying to battle the grey months of january-march without the shining beacon that it and its players are.  so, i have to look else where.  and these justices judge on.  no matter the cost.
