Talking Feel like sharing...

So I've been working with the University newspaper a lot this semester, writing stories and doing this and that, and I was recently recommended for an editors position. Well, I was informed not too long ago that I will soon be getting paid to be the Arts and Entertainment Editor for my University .

I may update this in the coming weeks if I get accepted to the Washington Journalism Center for the next Fall semester, that has a possible internship with USA Today.

Anyway, I don't normally share the good things in my life due to not wanting to seem self-consumed, but I thought I would just share this little tid-bit from "the life of Jon."

That's pretty cool right there. I hope things work out because USA Today would be pretty cool to write for.

Re: Feel like sharing...

.... And the best member of that forum of course who also does car electronics for mobile entertainment. Let the world know about rickwithatbird who no longer has a t bird. They deserve to know about me. And it would be a great article, really.

Re: Feel like sharing...

oh yeah I forgot..

Congrats on the good news.

I got carried away in my own story because I'm such a great writer, and then I forgot to say it. Im so rude.


And anyways... feel free to quote me in your articles. I know I have very valuable advice and well accepted opinions very worthy of worldwide worship and a spot in the paper, possibly entitled "Rick's Sixth Cents" (yea I just thought of that... isn't that awseome?); so if you quote me just make sure I get the worldwide recognition I deserve. This could be my big break. (I always knew I'd do something great) Thanks there Swigz, ol buddy.

congrats, my girlfriend used to be the editor in chief of our college paper, she loved it but was a thankless job. Plus tons of work. However being involved with a school paper is great experience and looks great on a resume if you intend to continue on with it.

With all that writing and typing his wrists are really going to be sore. That alone will kill the masturbation time in itself.


Atleast you can write cool stories. Good Luck.

Congrats Jon! Keep it up. I do expect a discount on whatever periodical you write in after you graduate though.
