Follow me though law school
Posted Tuesday, January 18, at 3:44 PM Last semester I kept a facebook album of all the pictures I took during the semester of the crazy, fun and completely random things that make law school law school. I also kept a column about life as a first-year law student in the school newspaper, the Argonaut, called "FinePrint." At the end of the semester, I went though my notes and collected all the quotable things my professors said during the semester and published them for my last column...
WAC fires intern for costly mistake, BSU loss DENVER -- The Western Athletic Conference fired an unidentified office intern today after an internal investigation revealed the intern did not fax the conference's memo regarding Friday night's Boise State- Nevada football game to Nevada coaches as ordered last week...

My niece teaches me a lesson I love my 19-month-old niece, but it's not very often she gets to teach me things about life.

I'm back in print If you like my work, be sure to check out my new column. It's called Fine Print and will follow me though my first year of law school. It's in an old place (the Argonaut), but it's in a new section (opinion) and I'm writing under a new byline (R.J. Taylor)...
An open letter to Boise State president Bob Kustra Mr. Bob Kustra, In response to your recent comments, I have four comments of my own to share with you. "What bothers me more than anything else, is that the fans are not about denigrating our athletic program. ... What bothers me personally is the denigration of our academic programming. That's what I simply can't tolerate."...
The Stockade's secret bar I spent last night at a restaurant/bar named the Stockade in Deadwood, South Dakota. Unlike the Stockyard in Mountain Home that used to be Joe's Club, this Stockade actually used to be a stockade. Deadwood was once a mining town but is now mostly a tourist trap lined with casinos and famous for being where Wild Bill Hickok was killed and "dead man's hand" was born...
Yet another reason I love my mom I love my mom. She's the greatest for so many reasons. I really look up to her and she's my hero for raising my three sisters and me on her own. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize just how much she had to do without so my sisters and I wouldn't have to. I've also come to realize just how smart she is. It seems the older I get, the smarter she becomes...
Memorial Day hero brought shovel to gun fight. My sister, who is currently in Iraq, asked me in April how she could get a KIA bracelet like the one I wear on my wrist with the name of a girl I knew who died there. Since her birthday was coming up, I told her I would send her one, available here, as a gift. I kind of spaced on my promise and she asked again earlier this week as Memorial Day was approaching...
How to write a research paper For the past few years, I've written bits of advice for the graduating class of Mountain Home High School on graduation day. Two years ago, I listed these 14 reasons to consider college. Last year, I explained how to register for college classes. This year, I'll explain the secret to writing a research paper that ensures at least a "B" grade and competes for an "A" with a little more work...
Why I'm voting yes for the school levy In a couple of hours, I will decide the time is right for me to put pants on today and head over to one of the schools to vote on the school board's request for a $5.6 million levy request. A request of that amount of money brings a lot of questions: Why does the school need all that money? Will they use the second $2.8 million next year? Why is the administration so top pay heavy? How did the district get to this point? Why has the state cut so much from the education budget? How long will they continue to do so? What happens if it fails? Will they really cut out all the extra-curricular activities? And the questions could go on.. ...
American flag T-shirts, common sense, a no-go on Cinco de Mayo in Cali A few years ago, my entire Mountain Home High School cross country team could have been disqualified from a home meet for wearing stickers of the U.S. flag on our uniforms. The race was just days after 9/11 and a teammate's mother had printed the stickers and requested that we wear them. ...
Super feel good story of the week: boy saves Seattle Sounders Click {http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011740342_electronboy30m.html here} for the story.
The latest case against BCS system comes from the basketball court No one outside of their locker room can say for sure weather or not players from Butler University's men's basketball team took the court at the beginning of the season with national title hopes on their minds. But the one thing that is clear is they took the court with the chance of playing for a national title at the end of the season. A chance they took advantage of Saturday with a 52-50 victory over Michigan State, earning the right to face Duke for the championship Monday...
A couple of nights ago I logged onto Facebook to see a guy I know from college was on his way to Canada. A short time later, he updated his status to indicate he and his friends had gotten into Canada despite a member of the group not having a passport...
I heard on the radio this weekend the Judds were planning a farewell tour. Perhaps you thought when Naomi retired in 1991 because she had hepatitis C, that was the duo's formal farewell. Or perhaps you might have thought that since the duo hadn't performed together, save for a few shows here and there over the past two decades, their career as a duo was over...
More addicting than meth I once saw an interview of a former meth addict recount how she got hooked on the drug: she and her husband had another couple over one night that used meth. The male took her husband into the bathroom and got him high. The female partner did the same with her. She claimed just like that, she was hook, and because the drug was so easy to get, she never came off the high until she was arrested a few years later...
If people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, people who do things that they either shouldn't be doing or don't want their mothers to know shouldn't talk to members of the press. On Monday, Tacoma-based paper The News Tribune ran this story reporting the hero's welcome Jordan Olson received was unwarranted...
Bars are no place for children Bars in Brooklyn, New York, are in the middle of what is described as a heated debate as to whether or not patrons should be allowed to bring their babies into bars. This is an issue that is not limited to just Brooklyn, but the solution is the same in bars all across the country...

Robert's Randoms  - Blog RSS feed ![[Feed icon]](http://www.mountainhomenews.com/images/icons/feed-icon-14x14.png){kind=icon} - Comments RSS feed - Send email to Robert J. Taylor - Login @robertsrandoms robert.taylor34@gmail.com The idea behind Robert's Random is for me to write about whatever I'm thinking about whenever I'm thinking it. I try to write 3-5 times a week, but sometimes real work gets in the way of that. Sometimes I'll share whatever random thought I might have that day but most of the time, I like to write about things going on in the news. I'm a total news junkie, I spend a lot of time online at various news sites. If I find a story where someone does something totally stupid or I wonder "what were they thinking?" I don't mind pointing it out incase others missed it or taking my best guess at what they were thinking. I like to laugh, I like to make others laugh. There's so much serious and wrong stuff going on in the news that when I find an unusual or light story, I like to use it. And while real life news events might be the focus of many of my blogs, I'm just trying to entertain you, make you laugh and maybe even think about something you didn't know before reading. I'm not trying to break any serious news or deliver any hard-hitting coverage. You'll have to read a paper or watch one of the network shows for that.
