So today I was at this meeting thing for teens in my school district. (I was attempting to be non specific about where I live, but heck I’m probably going to slip up pretty darn soon anyways.) At this meeting their was a guest speaker, from The ____________ ______ Courier. At first he didn’t bother me, until he unabashedly embraced his arrogance, and managed to slip in more than once that his paper was far superior to certain other papers. (Ahem, _____ ______ Weekly, a tactic that was very low of him, if you ask me, to try and prove how good you are by putting down another paper for no reason other than to make your own agenda seem better.) and commended a certain journalist with the initials A.H.

A certain journalist with the initials A.H. whom I happen to despise.

This guest speaker was a Conservative Republican, yet despite this I was trying my hardest to hear him out on his views of journalism, but he was so so ignorant. He informed us that he refused to learn how to use the Internet because he believed that as soon as got a grasp on it, what he had learned would be outdated and useless. Wrong! The Internet in cumulative, and refusing to learn guarantees that he will be reliant on others to run his business until he is dead. I thought republicans like power, but he actually refuses to gain the knowledge necessary to become a powerful person in the modern business world. Astounding. I feel so angry and ranty! He muttered on and on forever about his courier in journalism, yet I wanted to tear my hair out. He spoke about commitment to community in a way that made me feel guilty for wanting to explore the world. To be perfectly honest though, what really got to me was when he said that his paper staffed amazing journalists, and then he mentioned A.H. as one of them. I was furious and fuming and I wanted to scream to him, “Have you ever actually read one of her leads? It is so pitiful that actually opening the Courier after seeing one of her cover stories goes against all my survival instincts!”

Okay, so I am done bashing some old, likely religious, dinosaur for the time being.

My god— It’s still Monday, I can barely believe it!

LOVE-PEACE-SNUGGIES,
