My predicition for the commencement address tomorrow:
Congratulations class of 2008. It's time to party like its um... 1999? The future will be different than today. For example, you will be older. But in many ways, things will stay the same. For example, if you were a smoker before law school, I bet that hasn't changed any. That's because these were classes about the law. The class on how to quit smoking is available through Leisure Learning, or maybe through your local community center. But that's not important now. What's important now is that it's a hot day here in Houston and you are all baking in your black velvet robes and funny looking hats. That's awesome. Way to sweat it out. It's like a metaphor for law school, see? Ha ha ha ha ha! (wiping tear away from eye) Anyhow, good luck on the bar because if you don't pass, all this stuff you did here is meaningless.
"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
