Age:27- That seems to make me the grandpa in these here parts. Geeez!
Favorite movie:I don't have one. I just wanted a chance to tell you to watch WE ARE MARSHALL! Marshall University is my Alma mater. It's the best school ever! Well, it's the best school I've ever attended.
Favorite music:I don't care to tell you this either. I'd guess I would say southern rock. Actually, I just wanted everyone to know that I play the guitar (not very well though). I'm currently working on three CCR songs and the solo to Sweet Home Alabama. Any suggestions?
Favorite Authors: Finally, something I do want to share. I've just recently found Christopher Moore. He's hilarious. I'd suggest- THE LAMB, DIRTY JOBS, AND FLUKE. Each is worth your time. I also love classics. Particularly HUCK FINN, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD, MOBY DICK, 1984, A BRAVE NEW WORLD, WHEN HEAVEN AND EARTH CHANGED PLACES, and ALL QUITE ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
Favorite Poets: Emily Dickenson, Walt Whitman, Alexander Pope, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and several modern poets I've found on the Internet.
Favorite Quote: "The masses are asses" and "Tell the truth but tell it slant"
My name is Seth; already, I've decided to change careers. Four years as a high school social studies teacher left me with many repressed emotions. Writing is a new found form of meditation for me. In an attempt to find the 'good' in our depressing history, I've began writing to help me view the world, and people in it, through less of a text-like story line. Thus far, writing has been very therapeutic. Since I began writing, the urge to hurt others has been manageable. Please forgive my sophomoric approach. I feel guilty about posting my pieces in a forum that seems to legitimize them. I assure you that there's nothing formal about my writing; however, I do enjoy your comments.
I've decided to add to my bio. Initially, I had a very pessimistic view of the world, and people in it. Now, I realized I don't like strangers much and I'm still pessimistic;however, I have hope. I place my faith in the future generations that we are working so desperately to destroy. They're finally realizing how bad we've ed up. I'm not saying they're going to do much better, but at least their not drinking the kool aid as quickly as I did. I guess that would make me somewhat optimistic. Awesome!!
