    Errors
    Hello, friends, lj-friends, acquaintances, and strangers!

    If you notice any grammatical, spelling, structural, formatting, semantic, or any other type of errors in my public or formal posts, please reply to the post and point them out to me. A lot of these essays I plan to publish for real someday, and I plan to improve upon some of them in the process. I am not always the best proof-reader of my own work, since I cannot be objective. So please let me know if you see anything. Do not feel like I will interpret this as rude or condescending; it will be very useful to me.

    If I have used sentence fragments or informal or slang language, judge whether or not I did so on purpose and if it is acceptable in that type of essay by the context. It's better to play it safe and alert me of an error if you are unsure. If I want to keep it, I will thank you for bringing it to my attention and let you know that I am okay with that particular error. Otherwise, I will fix it and thank you enthusiastically.

    Consider even the less formal of these writing to be scholastic essays, and critique them as such. If I have used phrases like "there is" or "it is" frequently, point that out; it is not formal. Contractions are not formal. If you can think of anything that you see that you wouldn't write in a scholastic essay, point that out. Also point it out if you see something that you think is worded awkwardly or is difficult to understand. Even if a whole paragraph is difficult to follow, or the order in which I wrote paragraphs or sentences causes the work to not "flow" well, let me know.

    Any other type of criticism at all on my public entries is more than welcome.

    Thank you.

    Violence essays
    Here is something I wrote for a current class, which reminded me of an essay I wrote a long time ago. I'm posting them both, because they're awesome.

    Ending America's Drug Problem

    Okay, this is a paper that I wrote for my sociology class. I'm not entirely sure how the formatting will appear. It didn't exactly work out to copy and paste the document from ODT format to html, so I, for the first time ever, used the "rich text" editing feature on livejournal. I hope that means that the lj-cut still works. Let me know if this is simply impossible to read, and I'll add html codes to the document and re-post that.

    I feel no real need to offer an abstrat or summary to get you guys to read it. You know me. Do what you want.

    Today, I'm gonna go in a public bathroom and record the sound of strangers farting and stuff with my cell phone, and then reset the recordings as ringtones. It'll be like, every time my mom calls, my phone lets out a big, loud, wet-sounding fart, and it keeps repeating until I pick up. Sweet.

    Prisoner of War
    Well, since the topic has come up again in my discussions, and since I posted a million things on the same day when i got out of jail, i don't think everyone has had the chance to read this piece. So I'm reposting something i wrong about the drug war while incarcerated.

    a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
    okay, so the other day, my mom was looking through the file cabinet, and she pulled out the test scores i had for those standardized tests they have you take in school to show how smart you are. she made me look at them all and then proceeded to lecture me on how i'm wasting my life by not being like a doctor or something. i'm inclined to disagree with her. intelligence can be used in many ways. just because i dropped out of college because i was in jail doesn't mean i just stopped using my brain at that point. but school does stimulate me, and i enjoy it. and it keeps me mentally in shape. i'm really excited about starting next semester, actually, and i'm going to jump through all the necessary hoops to make sure i get there. i don't even think i'm going to do any drugs until i've got my next phase of life established.

    but anyway, here's how smart i am! i was going to scan them all, but my scanner started fucking up after the first two. the first one was the best, the second was average. i wanted to have a collective so that it would more accurately represent my brilliance, but i guess i can't tonight, because my scanner is being uncooperative. oh well. but lookie lookie look look!!! i'm a genius!




    p.s. yes, that's my name, and if sun tzu is still looking, now you've got it, and i'm still not scared. and the e stands for elizabeth, hence liz. just so no one thinks i'm using someone else's papers, as if i had any ability to obtain them or would go through such lengths to deceive.

    eat the poops?
    ok, say you were stranded on a deserted island, and there are animal poops everywhere.
    because of the poops, you think there MUST be animals living on this island.
    so you search for weeks and weeks until you're about to die of hunger.
    you're unable to find any edible plant or animal matter.
    do you eat the poops?

    please answer yes or no, and if you want, why or why not.

    in victus by w. e. henley
    out of the night that covers me,
    black as the pit from pole to pole,
    i thank whatever gods may be,
    for my unconquerable soul.

    in the fell clutch of circumstance,
    i have winced but not cried aloud.
    under the bludgeonings of chance,
    my head is bloddied but unbowed.

    beyond this place of wrath and tears,
    looms but the horror of the years.
    finds, and shall find me, unafraid

    it matter not how strait the gate,
    how charged with punishments the scroll,
    i am the master of my fate,
    i am the captain of my soul.

    what is america?
    POEM:
    [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<lj-cut=what>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

    POEM: <lj-cut=What Is America?>

    december 7, 2006

    it's the fear
    behind all bravery
    it is freedom
    found in slavery

    it's the affliction
    of material wealth
    it's the delusion
    of emotional health

    it's how obliviousness
    has it's own clarity
    when human diversity
    is seen as a parody

    it's the unity found
    in a nation at war
    it's justification
    to kill the poor

    it's unquestionable faith
    in omnipotent government
    and the undying belief
    that bush has been heaven-sent</lj-cut>
