Huddled up on the second floor of the library, staring blankly at labor law notes, a mere 40 days away from the exam, I've come to the realization that my current nighttime routine wasn't exactly stolen from Rick James' playbook. As soon as class is over, I hit the cubicle for a grind that will last until 10 or so, then catch a jog if I'm lucky, then grab some grub, then sleep, then do it all over again. Someone tell Bill Murray I feel his pain.

When I'm not studying, or whining about studying, I can't help but think of who or where I'd rather be. Here goes...

5. Vince from "Entourage." He dominates life. Women want him, and (as shown by this post) men want to be him. He's totally hollywood, but is still a humble enough guy to let his best buds and bro mooch off of his success. Nothing but respect for Vinny here.

4. Bennie "the Jet" Rodriguez from "The Sandlot." This one is somewhat of a courtesy throwback to my adolescence, but the guy does have it all -- skills, a mustache and PF Flyers. However, despite the well established principle that "chicks dig the longball," it was my boy Squintz, not the Jet, who scored with Wendy Peffercorn.

3. Bockrath. Wait, he's real?

2. David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap -- "What's not to love about us? Afterall, we do have armadillos rummaging around in our trousers."

1. Will Hunting from "Good Will Hunting." If I were him, I could write more, for I'd be done reading for labor, as well as every other class a long time ago.

However, I'm not, and that means it's time to get back to reality.
