Creative Writing

I'm taking this funky creative writing course at school. The prof is very interesting as he designed this course not just to get people writing, but to expose them to his way of writing which incorporates Zen art, meditation, stream of consciousness. Every time I sit down to write I have a new little story. I think I like it.

Fox Anchorman/Commentator

Ok, Bill O'Reilly is an idiot. If he were here beside me now I would force him into a boyscout uniform and yell at him "Shut up!"

Now Ye Be Warned

I received an email this evening that began "I would hate to find out that anyone had deleted this message or not passed it on". Of course I immediately stopped reading and deleted the damn thing. I like living life on the edge. If the original creator of that message and I should ever meet it could get quite interesting if not incendiary.

On Beslan

Perhaps the world powers have taken advantage of other countries and bilked them for all they are worth. Perhaps it is American bullets which kill Palestinians. Perhaps promises of support have been forgotten at crucial moments in the lives of certain peoples. One could understand a hatred for western culture and a desire to fight back; perhaps expect it really. But....to kill children goes beyond retribution. The terrorist movement which allowed the events in Beslan, Russia to happen are unfit for this planet. I can actually condone the hunt and extermination of these vermin which believe killing innocent children is a means to their ends. This sort of Islamic fundamentalism should be just as abhored by all of Islam as it is by the rest of the world. The really sad part of this (besides the act in Beslan itself) is that it is highly doubtful anyone from the Muslim world will take action to control these "renegade" fundamentalists.
