: About Me

A young buck living in the internet age which kindly allows me to speak with thousands of people. If they, of course, lend a listening ear or a patient eye. I write just about anything that interests me. I preferably enjoy creative writing. Essays, Memoir, Fiction, and I dabble in poetry. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in History a few years back. I also have a passionate interest in literature and philosophy.

As for books, I really enjoy the classics. I'm a carnivorous reader and have no qualms with really reading anything (I've read Pride and Prejudice and Twilight at the request of my wife). I think reading books of all shapes and sizes grows me as a writer, and also makes me not so prideful that I can't read something that might not actually interest me to the fullest. Sometimes the book you least expect could surprise you.

I've kind of been floating around as to what to do with my life. This writing business has been jiggling around and I figured since it was the thing that most motivated me that I should give it a shot. I am here. Writing to you. Hoping to stretch myself. Sharpen my craft. Build a repertorie.

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Christmas dinner

9 of 16

You know those relatives that you hate seeing every year for Christmas? Mine get the award for Worst Relatives Year Round. In fact, my parents tried very hard to keep us away from them whenever they could, but on one random Christmas these relatives of ours invited themselves over for no other reason but torment, carnage, and torture. Please keep in mind that they do not live in the same state as us, nor the state over or even five states from us. We are worlds apart. Yet, they managed to figure out a way to guilt trip my parents into a family dinner. The most wonderful time of the year tu...
