Yes, I do a little writing here and there. Mostly for classes, but occassionally for fun. Aspirations of being a professional writer? Oh you know it, baby. Ever come close? No way.

Good thing I'm still young. This is crap from the last two years.

• Moshing: A Cultural Phenomena
  I got a 97% on this paper I wrote for my Humanities class. Can you believe it?

• D&J's Dictionary of Gangsta Metal Terminology
  Any suburban white boy should get his ass to this document. FAST.

• Hack Your University
  This document focuses on various hacks perpetrated on Capital University, but much of the material could have application elsewhere.

• A Theoretician's View of Metal
  My thoughts on the theory behind metal. Kind of outdated now. And I have since realized that I'm not much of a theoretcian.

• Meshuggian Style
  A short treatise on the style of the band Meshuggah. Also rather outdated now. My analysis has gone far beyond this.

This guy is so cool, and inspirational, that he gets his own section. Read these documents carefully. They are the gospel.

• Philosophy of Hard Music
  A beautiful document on why it's okay to listen to heavy music. By Jason Sorens

• The Meaning of Metal
  Romanticism versus realism. Also by Jason Sorens.

• Why Metal Will Never Die
  Inspirational material for when the apparent sorry state of the scene gets you down. Jason Sorens is really cool.
