Update

Heeeeeeeeey, so how abouts an update? I think I (should) have a bigger one coming up but here are some new things. First, for all those who keep asking where I ended up after high school I arrived around here:



(That's Ohio by the way) At Denison University. Things have been going pretty well here and I really can't complain about too much. I have actually gotten back to writing daily inane notes but I've been using facebook instead of Xanga so you'll have to migrate there to continue reading my ravings.

And, to add sub substance to this update, I finally finished my new portfolio site for my digital art, writing, and video. You can check out the entire thing here:

But, my latest update is for one of my newer short stories. I usually write one every 6 months or so and this is the latest one, called "The Debate." "The Debate" is a serio-comedy (serious comedy) about a man who has a choice to make about which apples to buy. While the comedy of the story is based on the ludicracy of its premise and overall plot and style, the seriousness is derived from the aspects of decision making that the story explores through the man's thoughts. While sometimes inane and off topic, the story mirrors some of the tough situations we all face in life from a lighter perspective.

If you like my writing, you might like this story. You can get to it from my website above or go straight to it here:

That's all for now.

Why are we here, if not to live?

Why do we dream, if not to try?

Distance is but only a tool of excuse, to give reason for that which we should dare to accomplish.

Squirrels Are Evil

It's not enough that the bushy-tailed eviltries we know as "squirrels" climb up on our bird feeders and steal our flying friend's food but no no no they had to mess with my vehicle. I had my car towed away yesterday because it was not running properly. So, today I found out that those bastard animals some confused people call "cute" and "adorable" chewed through the wiring of my auto enough to warrant a large overhaul of the electrics. And, of course, such things are not covered under warranty.

So do your part and never feed squirrels. These gray vermin are a threat to our standard of living and we must all do what we can do destroy their meager existence and drive them back into the forest like Michael Jackson driving little kids into their locked, dead-bolted homes, as it should be.
