About me - Royce Radcliffe

I sort of like to maintain my secrecy... Everyone is revealing their personal details and here I am with nothing. I like it like that.

I might add a true biography at some point in the next month or so. Suffice to say my main goal in life is to be a filmmaker.

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: A business lunch gone wrong: 3 of 27
"Jim, I'm going to be blunt." When had he been anything but? "I'm sleeping with your wife." Jim stopped in mid chew and stared. After ten seconds he resumed chewing and looked down at his plate, lost in thought. This reaction obviously was not what Ronald had been looking for today. He must have planned this out to perfectio... More..
Arts & Humanities > 19th Century US History The importance of the Louisiana Purchase in American history: 1 of 9
Many see the Louisiana Purchase as one of the most important events in United States history and upon examination it is easy to see why. This event was a seminal one in our nation's history-and probably the best land deal of all time, to boot. This was Thomas Jefferson's second masterpiece. You see, in 1804 what we think of ... More..
Sciences > Earth Science (Other) What was the most ferocious dinosaur?: 1 of 9
The most ferocious dinosaur in my mind is undoubtedly the Spinosaurus. It is the largest of all carnivorous dinosaurs, even bigger than the T-Rex. I see other have answered velociraptor but I have to disagree. Were this question worded differently I would understand, but the question is not plural. Velociraptors hunt in pack... More..
Home & Garden > Trees & Shrubs What makes the ginkgo tree so special?: 1 of 9
The oldest tree in existence, the ginkgo tree deserves a special place in botanical lore. Viewed by many as a living fossil, this is the only tree that has survived since prehistoric times. It knew a whole different world where dinosaurs roamed free and man was just beginning his ascension. As such, they are darned tough. Th... More..

Being fired is bad enough but when you think it is the product of discrimination it can be especially painful. It can make you feel powerless in a deep and scarring way...

People these days accept suburbs as commonplace but there was a time when the concept was revolutionary. The advent of the suburbs resulted in a changing of the social landscape of America that can still be felt to this day.

Jenny drove to the doctor still numb from the weeks before, when she found out she had the cancer inside her, eating, gnawing away at her insides. Soon there would be a black hole where she should have been, and she was driving, just driving.... This is how it was going to be from now on. Numb on the way to death. She accept... More..
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Make it stop: The trend of pop up ads during television programs: 2 of 16
It has finally happened. They have finally overstepped their boundaries completely and violated the sanctity of the program itself. Sure, they have been doing this for years through bad edit jobs and such, but this was explicit and naked and screaming at me. Commercials were bad enough. But to return to the program only to h...

The definition of what an all-mountain bike is varies from person to person but there are a few qualities that remain consistent no matter who answers the question. They should have excellent suspension,climb well, descend well and have great pedaling. Every mountain bike has a disadvantage of some sort and the main goal of ... More..
Entertainment > Directors & Film Makers Biography: Martin Scorsese: 1 of 8
Martin Scorcese has had a career that seemed until last year to fit his filmmaking mentality perfectly-brilliant with a sad ending. Many industry analysts thought he had been robbed of the Oscar multiple times and that him getting it for The Departed was what finally made up for it. It would have been in my eyes only too fit...
