I don't know what's worse: gettin canned, my fantasy baseball team collapsing, or igy sharing his disastrous opinions on comedy with the world.

Thanks jay. I have one fan
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.

FFL choke isn't really a choke because you were a 5-seed.

But losing your gig sucks. Even if they didn't really give you a fair shake. You got anything else lined up?

its a collapse when the red sox keel over and die and let roy halladay sleepwalk his way to a cg shutout. bad managing on my part.

im continuing to freelance for the delco times and hopefully another paper or two. next big thing will be the entertainment weekly internship in nyc in january. that i know i can do, but it could bankrupt/kill me. so well see.

EW internship, eh?

That's good stuff. Judging by the bankrupt thing, I assume it's an unpaid gig and you'll be footing the whole bill in expensive-ass NYC? Do they even give you any kind of stipend?

Delco Times...what are you writing, prep stuff? Any way you can work your way into the pro scene?

dude, internship in NYC? 

i really hope you do have jew gold hidden somewhere on your person because I can't imagine you having enough money to stay for more than a month and a half up there.

its farging crazy.

as far as i know its $10 an hour for 35 hours a week. id have to commute from philly which would be a pain but affordable. magazines are still in decent shape, its newspapers that are finished. theyre not great, but they are surviving. though, they will be dead within a few decades. so right now its a slow death.

and yes, the ironic nature of my grandmother dieing is that ill get a little bit of money from her, so i should be able to keep my head above water. go jews.

the delco times thing is just freelancing for high school football games. i know someone over at the northeast times too so im gonna try and do some work there. not great $ but its something.

some would argue your not the best of writers.

i dont understand what dave murphy and andy martino have that you dont have.  is the newspaper industry racist?

MDS
