Gay Marriage Revisited

 
I’ve already made my stance on this matter pretty clear; gays deserve the same rights and privileges as the rest of us, and that includes marriage. 
 
Most of you who watch or read the news are probably aware of one of the recent issues on the California ballot.  It was called Proposition 8, and if [...]

Sex and Violence in the Media

Sex and Violence in the Media
Another political one, though not as controversial as the others. Still, I think it deserves talking about, so here it is.
I won’t name names, but a lot of politicians out there are up in arms about the supposed “evils” of sex and violence in the media. Well, I know where [...]

Sex Ed

Here’s another controversial topic. Insert usual warning here.
Where does talk of sex belong in our schools? What exactly should be taught there? Well, I’ll be honest with you; kids aren’t stupid. I firmly believe that there comes a time when we need to start treating them like adults, and that time comes a lot earlier [...]

Abortion

Abortion. Here’s another topic some people might be uncomfortable with, so once again, feel free to skip it.
As some of you might be beginning to suspect from my entry on gay marriage, I am a liberal. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some topics I’m a bit iffy on, and I’m no extremist. The [...]

Gay Marriage

Well, here’s the first of my more political oriented entries. If talking about gays makes you uncomfortable (I get that some people have a hard time with it), feel free to skip this one folks. Everyone else, read on!
I have five gay uncles. You read that right, five. And I love them to death. They [...]

Character Evolution

I’m not sure about you all, but I find stable characters boring. You know, the ones that basically stay the same throughout the entire story? No fun at all. Even the most interesting or funny character losses appeal if they never grow! And I’m not just talking physically. It’s more important that they grow mentally. [...]

Names

I’m a halfway decent writer. I know this. I write well, and I’m proud of that fact. I also have a pretty decent imagination, and I’ve come up with some pretty impressive characters and plots in my time (at least I think so). Still, I do have pretty bad flaws as a writer, and I’d [...]

Roleplaying

I’ve been roleplaying in one form or another since I was a kid. Like most kids, I played pretend. I’d pretend I was an alien, or a monster, or a robot, and run around fighting evil with a friend (and later with my little brother). Once my bro was old enough, I moved on to [...]

Frank Miller

Now, normally I don’t go around bashing people. Heck, I never go around bashing people. Even here with this, I’d like to state before hand that I’m sure this man has plenty of admirable qualities. He’s creative, a talented writer, and I’m sure a relatively nice guy. That doesn’t mean I can’t dislike him. It’s [...]

Insomnia: Part 2

Well, here’s part two of my insomnia rant! In the first part I went over the most recognized insomnia, in which someone simply has trouble falling asleep. This one is about the second type as I see it, which basically involves having trouble shutting down for the night. Well, here it goes!
This type of insomnia [...]
