What is this Feeling...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. The Lost One is at current experiencing a strange feeling please hold while he takes a second to formulate a brief internal review of the processes going on in his head:
Conservatism...Running
Hungry...Running
Urge to visit the bathroom...In the Queue
Geeky Anticipation For next Star Wars film...Running
Mind numbing fear he will never, ever, ever know the love of a real woman...Running
Entertained...Running
Need to complete next task in time for class...Not Applicable...Processing...Processing...Error, Error, Error.
Huh, well what do you know...So this is what that feels like. Pretty sweet. Meanwhile the Lost One has gone through several life changing events, including his acceptance into a Law School in the mid-west (to those who wanted the Lost One to return to the capital...Sorry the money was to good, the Lost One is nothing if not a fully self interested sellout). Still, the Lost One is in no ways thrilled to have a new set of bureaucrats to deal with (after two phone calls and an e-mail, the Lost One still doesn't know if the Lost Kitty is going to be a deal breaker for his attempt at living in on-campus graduate housing). Also he has realized he has a rather bad case of Spring fever, and a serious hate on for the clase de Profesora F_______. Not that the Lost One holds any grudge against her...Well, not a big one...Well, I'm sure the urge to kill her will fade. Eventually. It's just that she's so darn new to the whole teaching game that I feel like the class is being taught by a video professor. Or maybe its cause she doesn't think the Lost One is very funny (as signs of soullessness go, only having no reflection is a better indicator). And Professor M_______! Boy does the Lost One loathe being right all the time, yet he knows we all have our crosses to bare. Professor M______ has begun his class readings with a book in which he's heavily mentioned in the introduction(not that he assigned the introduction to be read mind, he merely pointed out that it is there with his name in it <"Nooooooooooo don't read the introduction where I am mentioned 14 tiiiiiiiiiiiimes...This is so embarrasingggggggg...You in the back why haven't you turned to the introduction yet?">) But he also assigned two additional readings he wrote. How's that for hubris? All the while professing, "I don't like to assign books I wrote." Riiiiiiiight. And if the book was any good, well the Lost One could overlook all this. It wasn't so he can't. First, the book argued that people are required to petition for rights to be implemented. The Lost One actually agrees with this point, after all the beauty of the American system is not it's perfection (nothing on this Earth short of the Divine's presence can be perfect), instead the American systems true elegance comes in providing a system that responds to people's enthusiams via Constitutional methods. Protesters (and the freedom of speech they represent) are vital in changing public opinion sure, but with out the first amendments other (and in my opinion the more important right) it is the ability to petition the government for redress of our grievances that is how rights are made. However, according to the book, it's all about people's agitation. Whatever. In the end, no amount of protests will ever count as much as a single election day results going your way. If only Professor M_______ was aiming for the right target. Then again, it's probably good he's not.

An entertaining post, but, my god, the Lost One should put in the occasional paragraph break. My eyes hurt... :-)
