I took this picture with my cell phone. Not bad, eh? I like the multilayered look of the picture, the abstract concrete squares and the flowing columns of water and the patches of sun.
Hope you like it too!
Why do I stop writing stories so abruptly? I get into a story only to lose interest and put it aside to work on later. Only “later” is as elusive as a mythical unicorn and is as easy to catch as a handsome man with a fat checkbook– a man like that is almost as [...]

When I was in Job Corps– a government run program designed to give the poor and disadvantaged youth trade and job skillz– the medical personnel gave me drugs to try to help my depression and general neurotic behavior. That’s what I get for confiding to people who work for the government, I suppose.
I moved into [...]

Last night, I lay in bed with my heart racing–didn’t get much sleep. My mind raced in time with my heart, thoughts whirled and tormented me. It’s safe to say last night riddled me with anxiety. (Either that, or I was having a heart attack.) I think I can pinpoint my anxiety….
My roommate’s mother had [...]

I’ve been in a bleh sort of mood this past weekend. Nothing made me happy and I was happy with nothing I did. I get restless and grouchy and all sorts of moody. Creatively, any how. I could barely play WoW—that’s how apathetic I felt this weekend. And that’s how you know I’m feeling ill or [...]
A Message To Parents:

Leave my violent, “godless” television programs alone. Stop protesting adult shows and start monitoring what your little monsters blessings are intaking into their cerebral cortexes. Really, stop letting the TV be your babysitter. Kids DO pick up a lot from the boob tube, and not much of it is good. That doesn’t mean you should [...]

~OR~ Reason number 23,909 Why I’m Not Married.
(I’m too darn opinionated!)
Ahhhh. An industry where “perfection” rules, giving our society a shining example of what people should look like if they want to be accepted, loved and adored. We see examples of cosmetically appealing bodies and we compare what we have to what the “beautiful” ones [...]

Season 1, Episode 6
Synopsis: While at school, Lisa gets in trouble for not participating in dodge ball. Why? She is sad. She spends the episode, pondering the meaning of life and suffering. She makes a friend of Bleeding Gums Murphy, a “jazzman”.
