Happy Holidays
Dec 28th
I know it has been awhile since I posted something worthwhile. I have been busy with a few things and hopefulyl you can be forgiving, seeing as it is the holidays and all.
I have been working on a new, simpler look for the website that will hopefully bring more focus on the writing without a distraction.
I will also be posting the beginning of Cupid’s Rose. Another short story that I am sure you will all love.
 Until then…
My First Patrol Video
Dec 23rd
By now I am sure you have seen tons of footage from the war in Iraq, including things you did not want to see.
 I put this video together while I was over there to give a feel for what it was like to be on a patrol and just see the sites. I put it to a song by Kazzer. I like it.
Let me know what you think!
Essay: Campaign Advertising is Destroying America
Dec 8th
I wrote this for English class and even took it a step further and created an online petition that you can sign. It is intended for residents of the State of Arizona. Feel free to copy the petition for your own state/local and make changes to improve the representation. Give credit though!
The essay itself can be somewhat boring but the concept of forcing an evolution on Democracy because we are able to is exciting. Concepts and ideas are born everyday, but how often do you see a good one that will work?

Old Writings: The Waterfall
Dec 6th
I found this among some old papers. I wrote this when I was fifteen at Walt Disney World. Still it is a good thought.
I was standing near a pool at the marriot hotel in orlando. I was watching kids jump from the ledge through the mini-waterfalls around the pool. I associated that with challenges. Challenges that I face in my life and it came clear to me that I can do whatever it is that I’m trying to do. The challenge is just a speed bump, block, wall or waterfall. All I have to do is jump through. I got that from watching the kids jump through the waterfall. They were more apprehensive about jumping through the waterfall into the pool than they were about just jumping in the water. It might have something to do with the blurred images through the waterfall. That where I got the association. I compared them with not being able to see past the challenge. In order to overcome a challenge you must first see the other side, after the accomplishment and then decide if you want to continue, without even jumping through a waterfall.
Life of Buddha
Dec 1st
Not something I wrote. But if you have 49 minutes and want to learn about Buddhism check out this video. The movie is inspiring in a way. It is hosted on Google Video so you do not have to pay for anything.
 Note: I still want to walk into the desert…
