New Story
I wanted to write a western, so I did. I like this story more than my first one, but I still don’t think I’m living up to my potential (boy does that ever sound stuck-up).
I need to learn how to write in pieces, instead of penning a quarter of it one night and crushing out the rest in one exhausting substance-fueled all-nighter.

On TAMU protests and our Freedom of Speech
(reposted from an unashamedly massive Facebook comment I wrote in response to some fevered political debate)
I’m one of the biggest believers in free speech you’ll ever meet, I just think that it should be used intelligently. In the right hands, such as those of Thomas Paine, Hunter S. Thompson or even Jon Stewart (occasionally), freedom of speech becomes a fine scalpel, cutting...

First Story
I had to write this story for my creative writing class. It’s the first story I’ve written in a looooong time, and in my humble opinion it’s pretty bad. Not awful, but not what I’d call good either.

First Post
This blog will be mostly for putting up stories I write and pictures I take, but I may also use it as a dumping ground for stupid links and videos and stuff that I find on the internet. Which just means they more than likely won’t end up on your Facebook or Twitter page.
