Even when I was a little kid, I always thought long hair was really cool. It just seemed like every celebrity that I looked up to had long hair. Unfortunately, way back then, my mom used to make me get a haircut quite regularly, so I wasn't able to start growing it out until I was in eighth grade. Beforehand, I had always assumed that I had ( Read more... )

I really need a job. Anytime I see that a place is hiring, I fill out an application. So far the only place that has contacted me is Wal-Mart. I went in for an interview last week. Apparently it didn't go so well because I never heard back ( Read more... )

1. Slash by: Slash (w/ Anthony Bozza)--- I don't usually read autobiographies or non-fiction, but, being a huge fan of Guns N' Roses and Slash, I had to make an exception. Slash has lived a very eventful, exciting life, and it was fun to read about. I especially enjoyed reading about his childhood and the early years of the band, when they were ( Read more... )

I haven't been active on Fictionpress for years now. Occasionally I'll log on and check my stats, but that's pretty much it. The last story I posted was in 2007. And the only person I've reviewed since then is a certain breakdancing ninja we all know and love. But I plan on returning to the site within the next few weeks, and lately I've been ( Read more... )

While I was going to UNCC and living in Charlotte, I discovered the wonderful wonders of marijuana, and in this journal I talked about my first couple experiences getting high. I admit that I was probably smoking a little too much there for awhile (or, at least, spending a little too much money on it), but I was bored and didn't have anything ( Read more... )

“All youth is bound to be 'mis-spent'; there is something in its very nature that makes it so, and that is why all men regret it. And that regret becomes more poignant as the knowledge comes to us that this great waste of youth was utterly unnecessary, as we discover with a bitter irony of mirth, that youth is something which only young men have, ( Read more... )

A few posts back, in the "Drowning in Shit Creek" entry, I talked about everything that had gone wrong for me at UNCC and how I owed back a thousand dollars for dropping too many classes. Well, no updates on that. In that same entry, I also talked about the situation with my apartment. I had moved out, but I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to ( Read more... )

Books Read in 2009:

1. Don Quixote by Cervantes--- I didn't think I'd like this book, and I did start to grow tired of it during the second half, feeling like the same cycle was just repeating itself, but I still enjoyed it. The humor is timeless.

2. Bel Canto by Ann Patchett--- A book my former English professor loaned me to read. (It was even ( Read more... )
