don't think i'll be writing for that newspaper now....

Yeah. :d

The editor emailed me today, asking for past writing samples. I've never done anything remotely related to journalism as far as I know, and so i told her this, and then before I knew it I had written a multi-paragraph George-like ramble.

I told her about my writing in school last year, and how I was named student of the month by the hardest working teacher I've ever had (let alone hardest working and most dedicated in the school), about an essay on which I spent 90 minutes answering just one of the three questions.... I even had to rush at the end, as there were maybe 10 minutes left in class and I had two other questions to answer, for which he ended up letting me finish after class.... but anyways, it lead to this...

and

I don't know. When I read my message back it reminded me of George. And so I came here. Wow.

Goodbye.

 

awww.... more like what business do they have not wanting you to write for their "uber-popular" newspaper ?...??...?!???!!!....
when they can say what business, than maybe you could accept it....maybe...
just think this man...you are hot stuff and everybody wants a piece of you
and then they'll be begging you to write for them, cause man, you're hot stuff!!

yah :H

 

Uber is I word I will never use in anything other than Deutsch.

Nice writing.

I've been told I might as well write at some point for some reason. I've never really considered that one because I don't want to ruin anything or put any emphasis or influence on that. It's virgin old-growth to me...

I respect it way too much... in a very Hunter, yet Jerry Springer fashion, in you know what I mean.

I guess that means I don't respect most of it at all, then. Journalism is so ass backwards that it doesn't really matter anyway. In fact, the best way to find a good journalist would be to find twelve random homeless guys in some city, give them the tools to write, and tell them to go for it... you'll probably find your next editor-in-chief.

My opinion is that people aren't going to get the unskewed truth (think of it this way... have you ever heard an accurate portrayal of the American Civil War? What about political partisanship these days? Or how corrupt the national sports organizations are or have been... anyone remember how what's his face got pardoned, the owner of the NY Yankees), so you might as well tell your feelings of the ridiculous truth... no matter how ridiculous or how much all people may not always be able to handle that. If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either do things worth writing, or do the fucking writing your damn self, because they're only getting paid to do it for you. That's your responsibility as a citizen of, at least the country I reside in. Do you know how many individuals don't have to capability or access to do that? It's not freedom. It has nothing to do with freedom. It's your God-given right, so far as I'm concerned. And if you can't, well we all face a barrier at some point, so make that your next one.

That's my take.

 

Do you even like sports, Chuck?

 

yeah.... i don't know why i used "uber" she's gonna think i'm some kind of star trek super-nerd. sorry for....this....george.

 

that would be an awesome thing to try....you're giving me ideas man

 

Massive edit.

If only we could sell ideas door to door.

 

when it comes to playing sports i really enjoy baseball... a lot. i've got no problem with football, basketball, soccer, running, hockey...though i can't skate. roller-hockey is super fun, though.


but when it comes to watching sports.... ah, shoot me now. however, if i had to watch sports for a particular non-time-wasting reason, i could probably keep interest.

 

that has performance piece written all over it
selling ideas door to door would be cool
aren't they call jehovah's witnesses?

 

Why not? There was a time when everything was sold door-to-door.



Hey, I just had an idea for a business..... a door-to-door idea-selling business. I don't know how it would work, but there are some people out there who will buy anything if its brought to their door. Oh! I know! We could... see something in their house and use our imagination to come up with an invention that would make that something better, and sell them the soon-to-be patent. Fuck yeah, man.

 

Yes. That'd be weird if we were all Jehovah's Witnesses and we all got exploited like that... we'd all be like "What just happened, dude " I'd like to hear about the Jehovah's Witnesses again instead of mormon fundamentalists, televangelists, or catholic clergymen.

Kinda like how we mised the commies and then Castro, Chevez and them decided to show up for the party. And they seem to be stirring the pot with our resident as we sit here... frankly, living so close to the great district we call Columbia, it feels like the man is residing on my ass. In fact, I see total irony in that the district is named that... as well as someone noting the size of the GOP mascot's trunk, and having yaye-loving mayors. As Dave said, they might be alright with a cokehead mayor, but we don't need that shit in the White House. Sign the treaty baby... I'll suck your dick.

Everyone is just like "roll call" these days...

One more car, one more rider, same shit, different day politics. It's fucking annoying, man. Leaves people scared of their shadows, though.

 

haha yes george
the jehovah's witnesses used to come talk to me all the time, same with the mormons...but i'd just like having discussions on current events and such with them before they got into their whole religious sales pitch and i guess they got discouraged and stopped coming...my brother and myself scared them away, in high school, i was lets say.. opinionated...


hey chuck..what kind of stuff would you write for that newspaper?...i think i missed that...

 

I think he's doing Sportswriting... or is supposed to be.

 

well i don't think anyone expects sports writers to be that smart
and i mean that in the best way possible
chuck until they tell you they don't want you to write for them, don't think that you won't be writing for them
~positive thoughts and all that jazz~
mhmm

 

well i dont think anyone else has even inquired for the job. i've heard nothing about it anywhere. though... i guess i haven't looked into it at all.


and yes it would be for local school sports...hopefully black river falls high school. also i can cover the happenings of the lincoln township school board if i so desire, as i guess the previous sportswriter did so. i wonder whatever happened to that guy.

 

He got shot in the knee at a hockey game.

 

ah, yes. that tends to happen round these parts. i'll be sure to wear my 50 Cent-approved bullet-proof knee protectors

 

Oddly enough, I do. Exactly. Oh, Jesus...

George, you really do amaze me sometimes. Let's go fishing with a case of Corona.

 

Golly gee, I haven't had any sort of Corona or that.. uh, cantina stuff in over a year. Yes, I am way overdue for something of that sort. We shall have to do that one day. Seriously.

That makes me wonder how much the alcoholic beverage industry profits off of people who go fishing.

Thanketh be for the kyndness and whathaveyou.

 

The editor really wants to meet me now. She even let me pick the day. I picked Wednesday.

Funny how that works.
ahaha
