I just wrote the intro to my first book, a fantasy trilogy project. It is a letter (or note) written by the character who will be the antagonist in the series, although I will have him as a POV character along with my protagonist. I'm just now testing the waters of fiction writing. I know I'm a...

Lots to talk about in this Final to the best World Cup I can remember. On one hand, Germany just came off destroying the hosts Brazil. However, also keep in mind Germany looked very beatable against the USA and Algeria. Argentina, on the other hand, has scraped by in some games, but also looked...

Hey guys, if you're taking the time to read this, thank you. I'm still trying to get better at my writing, and gauge what people think. This is one of the few poems I've actually written from the heart, to describe the wonderful (and quite out of the ordinary) feeling I've had today once I...

I just ran into this interesting news story concerning the conflict between Brazilian indigenous protesters and Brazilian police over the massive "development" undertaking in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup this summer. I am a sports fan like the next person, and I love the international...

I'm aware the globally, the vast majority of people accept that it is happening, but here in the USA the issue has been highly politicized by both sides, and an...

Who would win this fight?

Hey guys. I wrote this poem tonight about oppression and it's consequences. I drew historically on the mental image of the "Fall of Rome" to stand as a metaphor for anyone, really, who oversteps their bounds and doesn't respect other people. It always comes back to get you in the end. Anyway...

Hey all, just found this section so I thought I'd upload one of the dozen or so poems I've written. I wrote this poem 'Deviance' to describe my personal "deviance" or divergence from the simple, boring lifestyle that most people lead (e.g. school --> job --> married --> kids --> work -->...

A true hero =D. Condolences to his family U_U

Well, anybody who sees me around this site might know I'm into the manga much anymore, I'm just reading it til this finish. So I post mostly in General Discussion and Chatterbox. But a recent world event just reminded me strongly of a word thrown around derisively by many fans on this base -...

Re: What Song Are You Listening to Right Now? Florida Georgia Line ft. Luke Bryan - This is How We Roll Guarantee you this will be the hit country single next summer, but most haven't heard it yet =D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu1Cp7EyFVU

As an American citizen who loves my country and its people (if not always our government representatives) I am beyond furious about this incident, which by all rights should be an international disgrace. A couple days ago, a US drone aircraft targeted a convoy of 11 vehicles containing two...

One of the great leaders in history we can all learn from. RIP

Idk, the Watchmen? (btw, this story is terrible. What an idiot police officer)

His son has died... that's so sad. :( I really really hope no one pressures him to play on Sunday.
