I'm going to partake in what many would call "ranting". Normally, I steer clear of this sort of behavior for the most part, allowing myself to write something with some kind of interest to my readers. (Do I even have readers?) But I feel like crap, and I want every lifeless stranger scouring the internet for interesting weblogs to know it ( Read more... )

I'm tired of pseudo-intellectual uninformed teens who feel that it's the cool thing to have a political opinion these days, an opinion which is invariably "Bush is dumb", backed up by a huge fat sack of nothing. Thank you, MTV's "Rock the Vote," for your seriously partisan effort to sway the pliable minds of our young idiots. Way to jump on the ( Read more... )

I must have been brought up extremely sheltered. Perhaps I'm just naïve. It just seems to me that I discover things that I hate about the world everyday. Childhood was perfect. Growing up feels like approaching Armageddon ( Read more... )

I suppose I have been neglecting my weblogging duties. I had forgotten how some people enjoyed the priveleged insight into my rather uneventful life ( Read more... )

Essentially, its one of the most amazing pieces of cinematography I've ever seen. Every shot was dynamic, original, and extremely beautiful. I was satisfied with every performance: I ( Read more... )

I have a severe case of writer's block. I liken it to a disease of the mind, where my once commendable ability to create has been totally maimed. It's frustrating, to say the least. Last night I did a little brainstorming, however, and I came up with some basic ideas. They still require a lot of development before I can formulate a viable piece of ( Read more... )

So I have a problem discussing religious experiences with my parents. For some reason, I find my own position on a religious level a sensitive subject, despite the fact that my faith is rather well-founded. (As funny as it sounds, I never doubt the existence of God, but I do doubt the steadfastness of my own faith in Him.) I feel privileged to be ( Read more... )

This is the essay I turned in to Mr. Sachs for his College Essay assignment ( Read more... )

I fear I may be in danger of becoming a hippie. An entirely fightening thought. Keep in mind I'm mostly conservative and do not experiment with mind-altering substances, but as I slip more towards the "Love everything" philosophy and find myself playing my acoustic guitar in ripped jeans and no shoes, I get worried ( Read more... )

I'm always turning over a new leaf. The problem with leaves, though, is that they flip right back over again fairly easily. Truth be told, I have about as much work ethic as a pile of broken sticks.
Either that, or I just have loads of trouble with leaves.

If you're just joining us, we'll be moving on to potted plants...
