During the creation of my 120 paged literature piece, I stumbled across an important question. Is there a website out there that lends a hand to all of us leap-year impaired souls out there who can’t for the life of themselves remember when it is a leap year? Why yes! http://isitaleapyear.com/

Writing a novel in thirty days is harder than you think. Fifty thousand words don’t write themselves, apparently, and I spent forever trying to type out my novel as I tried to keep my ankle elevated and iced. It was very difficult to type. So currently I have stranded my character in the middle of [...]

When I’m sitting here, attempting to type out a 50k word novel, the last thing I think about is peace while I’m trying to decide which character to kill off first. I rarely think about it as I terrorize anyone within a fifty feet radius of my writing space to give me a chapter title, [...]

With the exception of one issue, I believe Obama will be an intelligible president. Unfortunately, that issue is about abortion, one of the most delicate arguments out there. And I happen to be pro-life, so I was a McCain supporter. But really, Obama is voted in so all of the McCain supporters should put aside [...]

The FDA is at it again, angering thousands of bloggers and people alike who believe in good health. Thanks to some pressure from the Corn Refiners Association, the wonderful little company that makes High Fructose Corn Syrup, (HFCS) apparently HFCS is considered natural. This is probably the worst decision made by them yet. Reasons why [...]

I’m a supporter of the McCain/Palin ticket because of one issue: life. I’m pro-life because I agree with the saying “It’s a child, not a choice.” I don’t give a flying fig newton about their other issues because at this point it’s becoming harder and harder for the government to fix the mess our world [...]
