I have many thoughts about many things. Some thoughts are better than others, but I love them all like my children.

Occasionally, I write about these thoughts, mostly for my own amusement and that of anyone else who might enjoy them. You can find some of my essays below, organized by type. New essays will be added whenever I happen to write them.

Music and movie reviews have been moved to my 'Reviews' section.
