a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
here are some of the books i will write. maybe not soon, but i really should plan it out, now that i come to think of it. none of these, by the way, are jokes. i actually will write them:

i, vampyre, where i discus the nature of evil and compare hanna arendt and ayn rand; be forewarned, rand comes out badly.

black irish, which will probably be a screenplay. the jist of it is that two cops are buddies, one black and one white, they have the same last name, they joke about being related. they find out they actually are, many generations back. a crisis of conscience and of personhood hits them both, and we explore issues of race and nationhood, with family.

the pithy roman, latin quotes for every day. the latin will be provided, as well as a good modern translation of it.

patristic and current theological thoughts compared, where i take the theological tenets of many christian churches and compare them with thoughts in early christianity.

occidentalism, not a parody of 'orientalism', but rather, a further piece explaining how western ideas and thoughts become so appealing in the east. is it the glamour of the new? is it a way to break from old power centers and establish a new order? is it keeping up with joneses? is it a way to maintain a solid economic base within a world that glorifies capitalism? is it really all that western anyway? this will take some real thinking, but i think i can pull it off.

an english language biography of pope urban ii.

translation of jerome's 'commentaries on isiah' into english, with notes.

gnosis and orthodoxy, which will be a commentary of the various apocryphal christian books. i want to style the commentary similar to the way the navarre bible has done for the approved texts, citing patristic authors and squaring the representations of the works to the magisterium of the church.

thats all i got so far. more as i think of them.
