I must apologize for the lack of a solid post recently. I will try to add some spice in the coming week. It is late, and my mind is thinking of stunningly unoriginal blog ideas. Thus, I will leave you with a sample of some writing I did a while back: (p.s. after a lot of searching for something that wasn't too lame, I gave up...)

"Brad Fink was in a bad mood. And you didn’t want to be around Brad Fink when he was in a bad mood. His usually light brown eyes would turn a menacing black, and the rage burning beneath the stoic expression that he wore like a medal was almost visible. At age 15, Brad was already schooled on the intricacies of sarcasm, a weapon he never hesitated to use when he felt the need. His biting, cruel responses were directed at whoever happened to stand in his way; the wounded littered the school path like fall leaves in October. Brad’s mother had seen a marked change in his personality over the last two summers, and now it had reached worrying proportions.

Brad realized it too. He couldn’t help it. There was a deep anger that festered inside him, surging volcano-like to the surface at the slightest hint of distress. Joy eluded him, and laughter was a concept long forgotten. His best friends had deserted him, after repeated run-ins with Fink’s alter-ego. Although his IQ tested off the charts, Brad’s grades had taken a dive in the alphabet soup that is the high school grading scheme. "

writing something you can actually stand to read again more than once without puking on your shoes.
