The Writings

Or What Boredom Can Create




This is the page where you can click on links to other pages where I have pasted my writings on. I'm learning HTML right now so sooner of later it will look decent.

Beauty Is in the Flaws
I wrote this after realizing that I have many physical faults but mostly they were too small for anyone to notice. I got sick of dwelling on them and tried to write myself out of feeling down about me. So I wrote a list of things about me and then created a poem around them. It worked pretty well, I don't focus on my physical faults anymore. :)

What Could Have Been
On a free association exercise, I can up with this poem. It's okay but it's a demonstration of my imagination.

The Domino Effect
If this was actually performed in front of kindergardners (it's written like those dumbed down skits for children shows) I'm sure it would scar then for life. My director in my improv troupe (we also were a social issue/sketch writing troupe) didn't like the ending but I think it drives the point home.

It's a Salad Bowl, Not a Melting Pot
I wrote this in 20 minutes on a night I was bored. I was just inspired to write something that celebrates our diversity as a people.

Phobophilia: A Lesson in Fear
When you took the improv troupe as a class (for credit I mean, you could just show up too if you wanted; sort of half class, half club.), you had to do a report and presentation on a social issue at the end of the semester. The second time I took it as a class, I wrote about phobias and this is the skit that went with it. I really love how these elementary school students have really big vocabularies.

A Julian Calendar Millennium Event
A couple of months into the year 2000 I wrote this poem to try to capture the aura of what happened and what we as a country were thinking and what I as a person was feeling.

The Halloween Interviews
I was subleasing this apartment (my first apartment ever) with my friend Matt during the summer of '98. We had no TV and only a few classes to focus on, boredom wasn't too far behind. One boring day we cracked each other up with the idea of interviews of archetypes of Halloween characters who weren't being accurately protrayed. I pieced it together to make a skit that to this day I would love to see on the Conan O'Brien Show.

The As of Yet Untitled Novel (Written for the National Novel Writing Month thing.)
I signed up with this thing called NaNoWriMo and the challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days; specifically from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30. The key is to remember when reading it is that quantity, and not quality, is the focus, so don't say I didn't warn you before reading this.
