Heady stuff man

The 2004 NBA Draft Running Diary
An entirely original feature that no one has done before

The 2005 NBA Draft Running Diary
Ditto

On Holidays and How to Make Them Work
Just in case someone complains, I am aware this title was used before (by a Ms. Nikki Giovanni) I just like the sound of it.

LiveJournal Top 400 Interests
Target...too....easy....

Lists
They're fun.

Oh The Irony!
That pretty much sums it up.

Living Moments
Where I go on and on about some thing.

The Ratings
Adventures in letter grading

Thoughts From
Just above your sub-conscience

Haiku Corner
5-7-5

Poems
Just what you'd expect them to be. Just a disclaimer, the page does contain the phrase "black as all around it."  It's incredibly un-depressing, but I thought I'd warn you anyway.

Ernest Goes to Purgatory
I wrote this screenplay when I was in 6th grade (or possibly 7th) and was used primarily as an excuse to steal Dave Barry jokes.  Despite its name, it's actually a Batman spoof, featuring Jim Bint,  the Legally Distinct Japanese Junior Fighting Squad, and a soundtrack made almost entirely out of Sly and the Family Stone songs. I still have the hardest time deciding just how stupid the whole thing is, so read for yourself and decide.

Amateur Journalism

I've been a member of each of my high school's newspaper staff in some capacity for all four years of secondary school, currently serving as Editor-in/on/around-Chief.  In that time, I've written a number of columns.  These are their stories.

Improving English
An offhand comment in one of my journal entries spawned this, which is just a bit of wishful thinking on my part. 

Flip Flops
This really won't be of great interest to anyone that doesn't go to my high school, but I'm nothing if not a stickler for completeness.

Instant Messaging
Sort of pointless when viewed in HTML form for people who already know about all of IM's pitfalls, but what the heck.

Opinions
Are like...well, you know

Music Preferences
Wherein I delve into the phenomenon of people giving up on music bands because someone else likes them.

Cereal: The Breakfast Food of Champions
You know you love it.

Our Cartoons
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Soccer
Americans don't like it, and perhaps for a reason.

Movie Years (2000)
One mustn't be a playa hata. 

Slightly Less Amateur Journalism

I work for the Las Vegas Review-Journal's R-Jeneration staff, which basically consists of me doing what I usually do when writing stories, but now it appears in major metropolitan newspaper.  And they're edited by people who do that for a living, so these will probably be a bit tighter and what-not.  Also: I didn't make up these headlines.

Why Worry
This was meant to be part of my school newspaper, then some kids died, so I had to move it here.  That's all really.

Journal Web site gives clues to what teens are thinking, talking about
This is almost the exact same article as appears below, but this time professional editing rears its respectable head and strikes.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: Marching to Their Own Beat
This filled my feature story quota rather nicely, and conveniently allowed me to take advantage of my membership at the Las Vegas Fencing Club.  Only now I'm jealous of the Silverado kids who not only have an actual Japanese program, but also a rather spiffy club to go along with it.

R-voice question of the week
One of those "Question/Quote/Mug shot" thingies that newspapers seem to have these days.  Think of The Onion's What Do You Think? section only with different people each time, and the answers are sometimes serious.  Make sure to check out Stan's hypnotizing glare next to the last quote.

Ready to Battle
I got to go to E3 and you didn't.
