writing

Here are some things I've written over the past couple of years. The most recent stuff is at the bottom, save for the paper at the very end, which is dead old.

I worked as assistant news editor at The Reflector during the 1999-2000 school year. Strangely enough, though, I didn't write anything for the paper until near the end of my term, and then it was a column, not a news article. This column is a remembrance of Charles M. Schulz, a truly beautiful dude.	peanuts.html
Here's my second column, this one about the unrealized promise of my Misfits tribute band, Ghouls Night Out.	ghouls.html
Another column dealing with music, this article looks at the ridiculous categories the music industry comes up with.	extrock.html
I'm not much for writing angry columns about serious issues, but every once in a while, I get a little fired up. This column about credit-card companies' presence on university campuses (particularly MSU) was the result of such an instance. Almost everyone who complimented me on it mentioned how funny it was, though, so who knows if anyone got the point...	credit.html
Sometimes you just don't know what to write, and deadline's coming up, and you're just about at the end of your rope... and then God smiles on you with the horny goat weed.	goatweed.html
This is a column about my inability to stay apathetic about politics.	voting.html
I like this column because it's full-on loony. Looney, even. Crazy-go-nuts. But serious.	deer.html
Here's a paper about Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood I wrote while I was an undergrad. I was going to take it down when I redesigned the site, but I've received some interesting email about it, so I decided to leave it up.	essex.html

I'll keep adding columns as I write them, if I can ever find time to write any more. I might add some more critical papers, but for now this is it.
