Resembling a Mountain

Seven years and ten months ago, my mother and father moved my two sisters and me into our Calabasas home. I was less than thrilled at the idea of putting all of my beloved possessions in the hands of a truck-driving stranger. That wasn't the sole reason for being opposed to the move; the new house boasted of such splendid features as a smaller backyard, no skylight in the kitchen, a very shallow pool, and a whole myriad of other shortcomings making it hardly comparable to our old house. With backpack, jacket, and reluctant curiosity in hand, I found quickly how misplaced my antipathy was. To say that the backyard was small isn't totally

I am certain now that it was not curiosity that killed the cat. It was curiosity that brought to the cat knowledge, and it was a brew of jealousy and desire for that knowledge that inebriated man enough to strike the pitiable cat. Indeed, man's ongoing quest for something to master is never replete, and this insatiable drive is manifested in his tendency to expand. There are problems. People knew this, and they left Europe to search for a place without them. There were problems. People found this out, and they went westward to evade them. There will be problems. People didn't expect this, but there was no more room to expand westwar

My Opinion Counts I

Hi. My name is Wes Holzer, and I am a senior at Viewpoint. Here is some vital information about me, so you can get to know me better. I have a fear of spiders, clowns and French cheeses. According to the Mayan calendar, my birthday will bring about the end of the world in 2012. (There is not yet any word as to whether I will be the cause.) Deliverymen like me because I tip generously. I have far too many opinions, and through ninja-like persuasion and lucky circumstances, I have managed to obtain my very own column in this paper. It is through this that I will broadcast my valued, desired, and, dare I say, coveted beliefs about the wa

My Opinion Counts II

In the time since my last article was published, many people have come up to me telling me that my opinion does not, in fact, count. They are wrong. The idea that my opinion counts is self-evident and so obvious that it would be almost insulting to explain why it does. I would end my article here, but that I have promised my superiors on the newspaper staff a four-hundred-word article, and four hundred words are what they will get. (80) In light of the completely baseless and unfounded doubt about my correctness, I have compiled a list of undoubtedly true and undoubtedly pertinent pieces of information that prove me right in all things at

Snowfall

Raining ash, the sky is blackened O'er beloved Rome. To Nero's fault I now submit For as he watched his home In torpor and in apathy He played his flute casually. Rome burned on without him. Smoke hangs above the scarred earth Which bears an ever-fixed mark. Never shaken by waves of water This light leaves behind dark. Brave men battle on to win And I try to write off my sin Torpid and in apathy. Rome burns on without me.

Dear Editors-in-Chief of the Patriot, Sorry. My column is late again. Circumstances were not desirable, conditions were not avoidable, columns were not writable, lists were not shortable, thesauri were not usable, but, as a consequence, new words were, in fact, creatable. And so forth and so back and so in every cardinal direction. You know the deal. I promise never to do it again in the future. Sincerely, Wes Holzer Copy Editor Dear Reader(s) of my column: Or so I would have them believe that I'll never do it again. What you have just witnessed is my latest piece of artwork. It is a form of expression this quickly dying out amon

My Opinion Counts IV

As you walk around our campus, the main building in particular, make a note of the classroom, library, and office windows. At some date too distant to remember, someone will be speaking about a topic too obscure and complicated to remember. Don't worry, though, because if you're going from the Upper School office to the Breezeway, you're likely to see the same flyer nine times over, reinforcing the same information. Also listed in the morning's daily bulletin for a week prior to the event, and probably also passed around by word of mouth, the extent of Viewpoint's print advertising is immense, catching you if the other methods missed.

My Opinion Counts V

I spy, through an obscenely large, high-powered, and expensive telescope, a massive, blank, boring object in the night sky. Yes, this issue, let's talk about the moon. There has been talk recently of sending another man to the moon. Mr. President, I understand your position. The moon always fascinated me, too. When I was three. Since then I've learned that it's a barren wasteland, probably almost as boring to drive on as the more deserty and less undeserty parts of Texas. There is occasion to waste the money on sending a man to the moon if we gain something from the trip. I don't mean the knowledge that man has gone where nature firs

My Opinion Counts VI

I hereby propound the movement to ecspulse the letter X from our alphabet. It is roughly equivalent to a two dollar bill in uselessness; why use one unique character where two commonly used ones are sufficient? The letter X, however, does not have a nifty-looking portrait of President Jefferson, nor is it considered rare and collectible. I cannot gloat to my friends, "Look here, fellows, for I have written a word wherein the letter X is predominant!" Well, that is to say that I can, but I'm likely to be ecspelled from my group of friends for such action. At any rate, the English language has two letters that make a hard K sound, and for

My Opinion Counts VII

Voter turnout in this country is, in a word, abysmal. In two words, it is very abysmal. In three words, it is very, very abysmal. I think that more people know who Carrot Top is than who the current President of the United States is, and Carrot Top does not deserve that kind of publicity. According to the Federal Election Commission, only about fifty percent of U.S. citizens of eligible voting age voted in the 2000 Presidential elections. That is about 100 million people who voted. To contrast that, the 1998 Super Bowl was watched by 90 million people. What can we, as a nation, do to improve voter turnout? Many people have suggested i

HOLY CRAP IT'S AN UPDATE

0 min read

Well, my poor dA journal has not seen an update in the fifth year of the third millenium after Christ. So I now rectify that. I have just uploaded two (2) series of photos, and I use the word "series" as loosely as is legally allowed. How to Camera: This is me beginning to understand how a camera works, or as scientists would say, how to camera. Sambu and the Elements: This one follow's spiritwolf77 (https://www.deviantart.com/spiritwolf77)'s dog as he (very very slowly) travels the globe, broadens his horizons, and spreads his Sambu fur to every element so that it might someday exist at all corners of the world. And that, as they say, is that.

... In SEPTEMBER?!  OHNO!  This fellow must be crazy! Indeed, I am. I was going through files on my computer.  I found lots of old Word documents.  Old means less than a year old.  Obviously. I posted them.  Because the Internet was clearly made just to house my writing. Enjoy. Or don't. But I suggest you do.
