NEW STORY
1/20/08

Here's a story I wrote. In the grand tradtition of my website, It's not really good enough to submit anywhere, but then it's not that bad, and it needed a home. It's still better than 99.99999999999999% of the internet, so cut me some fricken slack. Read Gift.

HOUSECLEANING
11/20/07

I cleaned up some stuff around the website. It's been long overdue, and there were cobwebs in the HTML, and a foul odor emanating from the basement. But a little elbow grease and a couple other cliches later, everything is BEAUTIFUL again.


BLOGTASTIC!
10/14/07

Hey, look at me! I'm catching up with the times. I've just started as a staff blogger over at RIVET Magazine's website. What does that mean for you? Well, I hadn't thought it through that far, but you will get to read my brief opinions of things once a week. Sometimes I'm funny. RIVET, RIVET.


STORY IN EDGE MAGAZINE

The October 2007 issue of Edge Magazine features one of my stories. I just got a copy, and it's a really beautiful presentation. Thanks to Kirk (check his Rommel stories on the Rommel page) who is Editor in Chief of the magazine. If you're in the Tallahassie area, pick it up - Edge Magazine.

ROMMEL DON'T PLAY THAT
9/9/07

I hadn't delivered the goods in a while, so I made a point to make at least a short entry into the world of Rommel Busker. He'll be appearing in my novel which I'll begin writing in about 4 months, so keep an eye out.

STORY AT OPIUM MAGAZINE
8/24/07

I submitted a 500-word memoir for a contest at Opium Magazine. I didn't make the finalists, the but the folks over there were kind enough to ask if they could put it on their website. I guess that makes me, like, a published author and shit. Check it out over at Opium Magazine.

NEW AWESOMENESS
7/26/07

What happens when you think of a historical figure on the way to work, then draw a cartoon of that figure in one minute? Amazing things happen, my friends, very amazing things.

MORE SHORT ESSAY
7/17/07

It's easy to seem productive when you write tons of things that are very short. This time I'm talking about the dominant discourse. AT times I'm talking in the dominant discourse.

ANOTHER LITTLE TINY ESSAY-ETTE
7/16/07

Everybody loves talking about prescribed gener roles. Why, just the other day I said to my friend Kirk, "Do you ever feel over-priveledged in this society simply because your a white male?" To which he replied, "Dude, I'm black." Read Gender Bender

ESSAYS
7/15/07

For those of you who don't know, I'm working on a Master's Degree. I've written a few very brief essay snippets (with more on the way) that I thought were mildly amusing and decently written. Here is one of them.

I achieved something so great they had to say achievment twice. This is my second Emmy, and as I said last year, this is outstandingly excellent.

I MADE THE BEST COMMERCIAL IN SAVANNAH*
5/25/07

According to the readers of Connect Savannah, the O.C. Welch Ford/Lincoln/Mercury commercials are the best in town. Those from the Savannah area surely realize the irony of this selection, but that don't mean it won't go on the old resume. (*People here are dumb.)

I pity the fool who ain't festive.

NEW/OLD SONG
10/6/06

Not so much new as newly added. New to you, at least. New in a cosmic sense. New compared to Rennaisance polyphony. Recorded by a real band back in college.
