i will post some of my essays when i have them typed up.  honestly, i'm not all that fond of essays.  the way i was taught to write them made them feel extremely... restricting.  something i can't stand.  so, instead of calling it an essay, i normally just call it a paper.  i will have some, eventually, though, on several subjects i feel strongly about.  such as:
 - religion
 - sexuality
 - capital punishment
 - video games and kids
 - television, parents, and kids
 - school shootings

  the other things in this section will be rants.  most of my rants are about things i feel strongly on, but just want to vent at.  meaning?  well, not everything written in my rants will make sense and is just me, well.. ranting.  with these, i put little to no thought into them, just writing whatever it is i want to get it off my mind.  nothing in my rants should be taken seriously, unless i say you should. 
  another set of my rants will be against flamers, either for my works, or if i feel someone has been done a grave injustice. 

  the last thing i will put in here is reviews.  on anything.  fanfiction, stories, books, cds.  the whole nine yards.  this will be a monthly thing. 
  for august, 2002, the review will be on: tom waits' new cd alice.  it is gorgeous in every aspect of the word and must be spoken of.
