On this past Saturday I was in the Ed Magazine section of the Edmonton Journal which is the newspaper in my city. I wrote an article which being the idiot that I am I neglected to mention in advance to those of you who read dontshakethebaby.
Yesterday I wrote a little acknowledgement of it which came off pretty much totally retarded, so I am rewriting it now.
I am super stoked that the Editor of Ed Magazine specifically and The Journal in general took a chance on an idiot like me. I doubt I deserved it but its too late now and they already did it so hah hah! My advantage.
I suspect it is uncommon for a major publication to print some random guys writing and I think that says a lot about the Editor and the publication that did it. I think it says they are totally willing to take a chance on sketchy shit to bring cool shit to the magazine.
I may be an example of the risks that don't pay off, or maybe I'm not, who knows. I just can't believe they gave me a shot.
Thanks to everyone there, especially the crazy motherfuckers who put their credit on the line for a clown like me. Here's to you and your giant balls.
In other business, do you think you can write? Would you like to write for free, in a totally obscure and generally ignored web zine?
I was thinking that maybe some of you people might have something cool to say, maybe you don't, but there is only one way to find out.
I will read submissions from you jokers and if I get any that I like I will discuss it with you and maybe post them. If they all suck then I will post nothing.
But if you send me something, don't expect a reply or anything. I will try to reply to all of you but I can't promise anything.
