ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I'm currently a College Student enrolled at Auburn University in Auburn, AL. I'm studying Political Science, but thinking of changing my major to English, or double majoring. I'm interested in computers, the outdoors and of course, writing. I read a lot instead of watching TV, because in truth there is nothing more of value to watch on TV anymore. [December 2003]

"for some unknown reason this was diffciult to read...the characters were funny but I did get most of it...I liked the approach you take in this piece. Your generation needs to get involved because GW is leaving you a world filled with hatred towards America and a land dependent on other countries...scary! Keep up the work and I don't care how much debt you accure...stay in school and get theat degree!" -- e. rocco caldwell.
"E: Thanks for the review. I don't exactly mean what you are saying by the fact that the characters are funny, and appreciate your thoughts on my debt. Don't worry, I'll be staying in college. A follow up is coming. " -- Kevin Myrick.
