Well as you know the other day I was interviewed by my school newspaper. Well, yesterday the article went live so I nervously picked up a copy. What do I see as soon as I turn to the article? My name in big bold print! Yup, the interviewee decided to use on of my quotes as their center piece. Lucky for me it was a quote I actually did say, and that I truely did say.
They need a sense that the school feels like they care that they graduate or that they’re here.
I was a little nervous when I saw my name in bold print, mostly because of my general distrust for journalists, but I guess I got lucky this time. There are some quotes from myself in their that are taken out of context or that I simply did not say (let’s just say that all of the phrases from BSU members became phrases from me), but I would agree with them anyway (even if I did not say them).
In the end, the article was pretty well written. I had all of these images of the negative ways in which this particular topic could have been spun, and am happy to not witness any of those fears to come to fruitation. To read the full article, click here.
Oh, and I like the way she ended the article. It made me smile.

Yo. . . . .it a ya boy, not all journalist are idiots, I take offense to that me being a journalist! Nah the story was okay, she did a decent job. But she did quote you a lot, I thought anyways, and since I don’t feel like posting two comments tonight, how did you find that cool club that takes the photos, that a great idea!
No clue how I found that club link. You know me. I just get on the net and click click click click click until I go “hmmmmm.” Then I blog.
