Welcome to the nonfiction section, where you'll find essays and other goodies that are aimed at making you think, laugh, or both! Take a hiatus from the real world and read some of these pieces...they're probably as intelligent as I ever get (ha!).

Renaissance Of My Youth
Based on a phrase my therapist threw at me when I told him I had bought the 20th Anniversary Edition of Transformers: The Movie, this was originally written back in 2005 and re-edited for posting on this site. It talks about why I love the media of the 80's, the era I grew up in, and why I think it's okay to go "old school" once in a while.

There Goes My Friday Night
A protest to the horrible, the cheesy, and the badly-dubbed movies I've seen in my life. This also breaks off and talks about current music, but overall, you get the idea that I'm pretty tired of all these pop tarts with one good song and an "album" that barely plays over thirty minutes. I'm not "anal" about many things, but that is one thing I am anal about!

An Accidental Reward
The story of my first car accident last summer, with pictures to prove it, and how I learned a very valuable life lesson from the experience (besides, you know, not staring at female joggers on the sidewalk while driving on Route 74).

Scramble Call: An Examination Of Superdimensional Cavalry Southern CrossUnder Construction
An upcoming essay about my favorite Anime of all time, Southern Cross, which was seen in America as the second "act" of Robotech. If you've had the pleasure to see the series in its original Japanese, you'll see why I love it so much, and feel that it is superior to the other Superdimensional shows, including Macross and Orguss.
