A Visionary Proposal

It is a melancholy object to those who witness unequal treatment on the streets of our country, when they realize the thinly veiled contempt many people hold towards one another. To others, one man’s personality is often less critical than his appearance. Should he seem ragged and desperate for money, people scorn him and pretend he isn’t there. Should he be a black man, he may become the victim of a “hate crime,” where someone with an apparently “lighter” color skin decides he has the right to abuse his fellow man over such a trivial difference. Or in the business world, a woman may be twice as efficient as a man, yet somehow the man is prom

On Top of Sexual Oppression

The weather calls me kingThe weather calls me (and many others) king, celebrating us with rounded confetti
I don’t remember being pregnant. But they told me the baby was mine.

When they found me, I was humming the James Bond theme in my sleep and riding a unicycle made of 2x4s and duct tape. They were trying to kill me, but nobody believed me. I told them I was the goddamn Batman. It was then I realized that she’d been lying, and we began driving in reverse across the interstate. The Director told me we were doing it wrong, it was supposed to be a comedy. I told him I wasn’t a doctor.

I have had very peculiarI have had very peculiar and strange experiences

I walk around it's 10 past midnight here and a tree falls and nobody is around But I had to indulge and I can't help to say that ultimately it's such an interesting world.
there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying ‘till love gives meaning to our lives –

I love to tell stories, jokes, and in general my life is an open book. I can start up Windows in safe mode all day long but Without You, a poignantly funny, award-winning Life is nothing more than Win Lose wit I have had very peculiar

A Barbed Affair, v3

Sat Oct 4, 2008, 12:44 PM

Looks like it's time for a little news blerb!

As the application deadline for creative writing is this Friday, I'm starting to revise "A Barbed Affair." [link]

It's taking me a while because I'm nervous about the application. I'm confident in my writing, and am sure I'll get in, but actually submitting is scary. You're only allowed to apply twice, and after that, I'm stuck as just a lowly Computer Science - English double major.

That just doesn't have the same pzazz as "Computer science, Creative Writing double major."

So I guess I better get to work, eh? Expect a few new pages of story content, as well as a bit of fleshing out of Kay.

Oh, and karaoke last night was a blast. Let's see if I can remember what I sang...

-'Aint No Mountain' with Jim
-'Bridge Over Troubled Water' with Jim and Rob
-'The Impossible Dream' solo. I love Man of La Mancha

Next week, I'm thinking of singing some Johnny Cash (mainly 'cuz Rob was like, "Wow, your singing voice is low" after I sang The Impossible dream). And Brigid and I are planning to bring back the "Summer Nights" duet where I sing in falsetto. And Kris and I are planning on doing "Monster Mash." Finally, Jim and I are thinking of Kid Rock's "Cowboy." It will be great.

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?

It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.
