The first time I found myself in a relationship the girl asked me out early that evening. I was a little caught off guard, but needless to say excitement soon followed. I mean she was a cheerleader, and I was fifteen years old… that’s like Simba waking up one day and finding out he is king.

Today, swept up in a particular bout of procrastination well ‘working’ on a new screenplay, I stumbled across a website that offered  pre-written speeches to the stumped orator.

And why not I guess? If high school students can Google up their essay on Bronze Age art then why not… I mean eventually these high school graduates are going to grow up ( Read more... )

I have this roommate, who I will dedicate this article to because I am moving out in a week and after some eight months together its time to share with you a little taste of what home life has been for me ( Read more... )
