I've Been Laughing Like a Buffoon [to myself] All Day Long

I bookmarked the site stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com a while ago, but today I took the time to really sit down and start reading them.
I'm positive the people around me thought I'd once resided in a looney bin.
Yes, the site is offensive to some people.
Yes, some of its over-exaggerated. Maybe even invented.
But listen. ITS FUNNY.
I haven't read all the entires, and just because I'm white doesn't mean I've found that they all apply to me, but I don't care. I can laugh at myself and love it. Frankly, I think its so damn funny because its so damn true. Take this post on lawyers. I'm a law student and S. 1 of P. 1 and S. 2. of P.2 are [pretty much] spot on. Really. All the rest about saving the world, eh, maybe not so much. And I personally cringe at the idea of getting lawyers involved, or even disputing a traffic ticket (which I would WIN I tell you--the accident was not my fault, even if I did say "I'm sorry". damn excited utterance. damn heart.), because its just too big of a hassle for something trivial (read: so much of litigation is 'trivial'. just 'get it in writing' first = no problemos. lol). But, I snickered. And I love it.

Oh, speaking of law school, I went to a "preparing to practice" Westlaw workshop today. It was meant to show us how to keep research costs down, because literally every click on every single link and every little line printed costs money. I never thought the words "Reckless and Irressponsible" would be used to describe Legal Research. And so many, many times. He must've paid for it, and thought he'd make sure he'd get the full use of his money out of it until 2am central standard time. oh well, guess you needed to be there.
