About Me

A dollar bill fell out of my pocket the other day and found its way into the hands of a homeless man. Upon his discovery of the dollar bill the man decided to try his luck at winning the lottery so he purchased a scratch off ticket with the dollar. The man scratched the ticket with much excitement and to everyone’s surprise won fifty dollars at which point he entered into a no-limit texas hold em’ tournament. Mastering the skill of bluffing, and taking into account the advice of Kenny Rogers, the homeless man took his fifty dollars and turned it into a thousand dollars that he used to buy a suit and stay a few nights at a well known hotel chain. After cleaning up, the man went to an interview where he was hired on the spot to manage the very hotel chain that he had stayed the night before. This is all a lie that I just made up, but I guess the moral of the story is to play the lottery more or something like that.

My Interests

Writing, playing, recording, and listening to music. You should check out the project that Nate Elliott and I are working on at www.myspace.com/brownandelliott. Besides music I also like to go to lakes where there just so happens to be some nice flat rocks. I then pick up the nice flat rocks and skip them wonderfully accross the glassy water.

Duct Tape

I will be the first to say that Duct Tape (submitted by Nolan) is not one of my finer pieces of writing.  I found it difficult to come up with any type of story I could name duct tape, so I decid...

The seas were reckless.  Or maybe just us.  The moon whispered reflections on the water.  Subtle hints of golden white kissing the earth goodnight.  Don't worry.  Tomorrow bri...
