Here's another hint, if you actually want to be a journalist you take whatever the farg is offered to you and work your way up.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

MDS

basically, yea.

i believe its between me and like 4 or 5 other people. so, well see. ill probably have to take it if offered. id be doing the high school football beat, so 1-2 years on that breaking a few stories, i could be moving on to....corpus christi?
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Maybe work your way up to covering University of Houston football

Here's another tip. Don't be a sports journalist. Ever. You'll forget everything you learned about the english language within 6 months and you'll never be able to find a job again.

On the other hand, covering high school football in Texas is probably better than most sports journalism jobs.

Yeah, its crazy down here. You'll get to deal with the super idiotic football parents who will threaten your life because you haven't written about their zesty son or you blasted poor Johnny McFumbles too hard.

MDS

if i respond by making fun of jesus or george bush, will that be it? ill be dead.

Maybe not down that far because the mexicans don't like W. Jesus...yeah, they love Jesus.

MDS

chuggie is like the best mexican ever because pays taxes and isn't on welfare.  i doubt he'll ever be able to get rid of that smell, but nobody's perfect. 

MDS

so did the last interview with the managing editor of the paper

but she didnt really ask me any questions, off the bat she said she just wanted to check in and see if i had any questions

is this a blow off (like they already have their guy and are just playing out the string), or a check up (im the guy and she just wants to have a quick convo to make sure im not a rapist)?

im not sure. either way, she told me ill get word in a few days.
