I Didn't Need to See That!

"The true story of one woman, in Boston, realizing that she had to get over her fear of being politically incorrect and free herself from her own hatred by bitching about the current state of things even if it means alienating her neighbors, who may just be illegal aliens, and scaring her friends and family because she is engaging them in talks about money, God, and Politics."

Mattapan High School

"For many years Mattapan,and Boston, have sorely been in need of a new high school. A twenty acre parcel of land has been designated for this but, for lack of political will, no action has been taken to develop this parcel and build this high school. I am currently gathering all the data that I can in an effort to create a comprehensive website on the Mattapan high school issue and those community groups and activists working to build it."

Misanthropicity

"Things probably are going to hell, and there's probably nothing we can do about it. But there's no reason not to complain anyway. I'll probably complain most about journalism, politics and American culture -- unlike everyone else, right? I'll try to focus a bit on Boston and Cambridge as well, to justify the portmanteau word ('misanthropy' plus 'city') gracing this page."
