 <title>The Politics of Homosexuality</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/06/the-politics-of-homosexuality</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;It really pisses me me off that Homosexuality is such a big issue in government. Why can&#039;t they understand that we are people too? Carbon-baseed life forms with 2 arms, 2 legs, and 2 eyes! Human!! Period, end of story, get a life, do not pass GO, do not collect 200 dollars!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you, and have a pleasant evening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--this is just one of many essays I am writing for one of my books, &quot;The Fallacy of Civilized Life&quot;. I have recieved offers from many companies to publish it upon completion. More of my writings will be posted soon.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Sound of Our Demise (I added more)</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/01/the-sound-of-our-demise-i-added-more</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sound of Our Demise&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Send the soldiers on a march to die&lt;br /&gt;
To the plains where the missiles fly&lt;br /&gt;
Cock your weapons and let loose your cry&lt;br /&gt;
Armies will clash kill to the very last&lt;br /&gt;
Innocent citizens will fall before the surge&lt;br /&gt;
Above the turmoil,&lt;br /&gt;
I hear a soldier’s cry&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do we fight? Why do we have to die?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>My moderately exciting life</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/01/my-moderately-exciting-life</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay, so it&#039;s definately been a while since i&#039;ve done an actual journal entry (I usually post poetry. I guess that&#039;s one way for me to get my feelings out.), so I figured I&#039;d do one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who don&#039;t know, I&#039;m currently at a therapuedic boarding school (Think of it as a military school without the milatary and less restrictive.) I got to go home for Christmas. It was my second home visit, and my agreements (A.K.A. rules) were pretty chill. I was able to go out on my own and see my friends. My nice got baptized, and I stood in front of the congregation as both her uncle and her godfather. It was pretty awkward for me, a kid who doesn&#039;t believe in god and who has abandoned his Christian faith, to stand in front of over a hundered people and say, &quot;I will, with god&#039;s help.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Empty Rooms &amp; Darkened Hallways</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/01/empty-rooms-darkened-hallways</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am just another wanderer here,&lt;br /&gt;
Just another voluntary prisoner&lt;br /&gt;
In the house under the dry rain&lt;br /&gt;
I’m just another worthless loser&lt;br /&gt;
Enveloped by the pain&lt;br /&gt;
Of these empty rooms and darkened hallways&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am the shadow on the wall&lt;br /&gt;
Split the void with my silent call&lt;br /&gt;
Too dark to ever see&lt;br /&gt;
I can be your best friend&lt;br /&gt;
Or your worst enemy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am my own jailer&lt;br /&gt;
In my self-built penitentiary&lt;br /&gt;
Deep in the dark recesses of my own mind&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Phoenix (I finally wrote something happy!)</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/the-phoenix-i-finally-wrote-something-happy</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Phoenix&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There’s always a chance for a new beginning&lt;br /&gt;
There are always opportunities to wipe the slate clean&lt;br /&gt;
The only catch is that you must want it inside yourself&lt;br /&gt;
You must have a desire to change&lt;br /&gt;
For without the desire there is nothing&lt;br /&gt;
No chance to be born again.&lt;br /&gt;
If you do feel this need, this want to start anew&lt;br /&gt;
There is something you need to know:&lt;br /&gt;
The change may not come easy&lt;br /&gt;
It won’t happen at the flick of a wand&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Bleeding Through (Completed Work)</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/bleeding-through-completed-work</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bleeding Through&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My father was my teacher&lt;br /&gt;
The one who taught me how&lt;br /&gt;
To dam up the River of Hurt&lt;br /&gt;
Now I wonder how he did it&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder what I missed&lt;br /&gt;
I can’t ignore it anymore&lt;br /&gt;
The flood is just to god damn much to hold&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And now my pain is bleeding through&lt;br /&gt;
My walls are tumbling down&lt;br /&gt;
Defenseless&lt;br /&gt;
And now the siege is beginning&lt;br /&gt;
Emotions taking hold&lt;br /&gt;
I’m senseless&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve fallen into a lie&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Death&#039;s Quick Release</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/deaths-quick-release</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;A friend of mine was talking to me about the struggles of his past, and I got the idea for this song. It&#039;s pretty dark, but my friend did have a pretty hard childhood.&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#039;s what I have so far-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Death&#039;s Quick Release&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And now here I am again&lt;br /&gt;
Battling the tides of inevitability&lt;br /&gt;
Bellowing cries of heresy&lt;br /&gt;
Losing every step of the way&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And now as I cry, gun to my head&lt;br /&gt;
I remember what my daddy said&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Ignus Fortudus (Fool&#039;s Fire)</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/ignus-fortudus-fools-fire</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ignus Fortudus&lt;br /&gt;
(Fool’s Fire)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was once a slave to the Ignus Fortudus,&lt;br /&gt;
That inexorable drug,&lt;br /&gt;
That temporary happiness,&lt;br /&gt;
That quick fix.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Little by little, bit by bit, it destroyed me,&lt;br /&gt;
I was consumed by it,&lt;br /&gt;
I was blinded by it,&lt;br /&gt;
I was dependent on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I finally escaped the tightening grip,&lt;br /&gt;
But there is nothing left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A burnt out shell,&lt;br /&gt;
The remains of what was once a pure human being.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Soldier&#039;s Fruit</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/the-soldiers-fruit</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;A soldier is in battle in the middle of an orchard, sounds of gunfire all around him.&lt;br /&gt;
He comes to a tree laden with large, ripened apples.&lt;br /&gt;
He picks one and tastes it.&lt;br /&gt;
How delicious it was.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I Look Around&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
And I see falsity.&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
And I see normality.&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
And I see pain.&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
And I see souls stained by betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
And I see fear.&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
And I see dashed hopes and shattered dreams.&lt;br /&gt;
I look around,&lt;br /&gt;
All around,&lt;br /&gt;
For the happiness I know to be there.&lt;br /&gt;
Somewhere.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Worried...</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/worried</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really worried about my godsister. She&#039;s a freshman at Mesa State University. On my last phone call, I heard that she had ditched finals and was driving to Washington to meet someone (Nobody knows who or why. Yeah, kind of wierd), and she rolled her car. Luckilly, she&#039;s okay, and she&#039;s at her parent&#039;s house. The scool might not let her back though, which makes me sad because I&#039;m looking at appyling to MSU and was excited to tell her that we might be going to the same school.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Perfect High</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2005/12/perfect-high</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;This poem has always been very meaningful to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Search for the Perfect High&lt;br /&gt;
by Shel Silverstein&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There once was a boy named Gimmesome Roy. He was nothing like me or you.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do.&lt;br /&gt;
As a kid, he sat in the cellar, sniffing airplane glue.&lt;br /&gt;
And then he smoked bananas -- which was then the thing to do.&lt;br /&gt;
He tried aspirin in Coca-Cola, breathed helium on the sly,&lt;/p&gt;
