I’m trying to study my ass off the last few days and hours before my finals and all of the sudden outside the law library, somewhere beyond the dark and reflective windows, there comes a very loud and multi-rhythmic tribal drumming. Occasionally there are whoops and yells. Holy jesus. Are you kidding me? Normally, I find loud drumming in the appropriate setting to be sort of cool. However, it’s not cool to commence said drumming that reverberates throughout campus in the midst of finals. I have my iPod on full blast and I can still hear and feel the pounding.

Probably has something to do with the new Mel Gibson movie, Apocolypto. Thus, not only am I going to blame this assault on my studing on Mr. Gibson, but I’ll also blame my inevitable lackluster grades, and all the wars in the history of mankind on him as well. Why not?
