Welcome to The Wizard's Manse 
Vive la Revolutions We say that the Vox populi is the spirit of our nation... That our revolution came from the will of the people. I don't like people, and I don't think that revolutions are at their best when "the people" are in charge.
Some thinking is older than we know.Been reading Jean Rousseau as supplementary reading for my History of Modern France class. I had thought that "Modern France" would be the 20th century, perhaps beginning with the Franco-Prussian war as a background before we move on to the Arms Race and Great war, but no. This class begins with "Le Ancien Regim", or, The Old Regeme, which refers to the French Bourbon Monarchy. Specifically we are studying Luis XIV, XV, and XVI, the last three kings of France.As the philosophers and thinkers of this era are very important, as supplementary reading we are given Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot.
A Poem I found Boys of spirit, boys of will,Boys of muscle, brain and power, Fit to cope with anything, These are wanted every hour.
Kill me now please Dear god this is the third time that the director of my dorm floor is going through "Ground Rules"
Was a little bit worried.......that I'd have to pay for internet. Well it's free and easy to connect to. Huzzah.
Short Story: BjornsarkirgangThis is something I have written as a lark after listening to some heavy metal music. It's also sort of a "proof of concept" for the writing style I am currently using, one that is in the third-person, an omniscient narrator and heavy in imagery. It is a fantasy piece, and somewhat violent, but not NSFW. The name itself stems from Old Norse, and means "Way of the Berserker"
A Poem of MineThe TravelerI stand upon the buried mountain of my youth, I look up to view the sun and ask: “what is the truth?” I look below to the see the valley of life, The woods below are filled with strife. And as I tread upon my chosen trail, What sort of life will I entail?
Stuff for Sale!Didn't think of this before, but what the heck.Since I am heading away to college I have been trying to get rid of some of my old books and games and things. The list runs from old computer game strategy guides to comic books (at least one PS238, I think) to yesteryear's PC games. Shoot me an email at bfriendshuh@gmail.com if you're interested. I'm not picky, so the price range runs from 4-20 dollars per item, with the upper end reserved for the bundle of games that I got.
Things to take to collegeBeen spending most of the day working over my new laptop; finding all my old papers and articles, moving all my music onto the hard drive,organizing things, deciding what to take..
