    My college debating partner is an Assistant State Attorney based in Miami. He was the guy who was responsible for letting Udonis Haslem off the hook for his pot bust.

    That's awesome. Where did you debate? Did you ever go to Nationals?

    It was parliamentary style debate. I went to Nationals all four years and Worlds three years.

    Isn't college only available in parliamentary? I debated at PCC for a year before they shut down the program, which was a damn shame because we were really good. I went to Nationals when it was at PSU, but that was it. I did a couple of terms at Clackamas Community College but there style was just too different for me. They wouldn't even let us watch PG-13 movies on the bus ride down to a tourney in California. Not my style at all.

    I've thought about getting back into it because it was that much fun, but I just don't have the time. Debate is so fun though. I really enjoyed going against a team from the Air Force Academy at Nationals back in 2003. Where did you debate?

    Wow, what an epic line-up! I think I might fly out to Miami for that shit. Shame they couldn't get Bassnectar and Downlink.

    Sweet condo, I'm a little cheap though so it seems a bit expensive. :) The weather is pretty incredible right now, housing prices are also favorable (decreasing by 14%) if you want to check that out.

    I guess have fun at the clubs and Ultra? Personally I have a little more fun hanging out and visiting places during the day. But that's cool too. The rest of suburban Miami-Dade is pretty different, but also pleasant.
