have you seen my ghost?

so this blog hasn't been what i wanted it to be due to lack of dedication and lack of page views. i've come to the conclusion that one of the reasons is because the blogs name is too wordy. ha.

if you want to know what i've been up to...

-i got the internship at Chart magazine. I have news stories up usually Monday-Wednesday on www.chartattack.com. Check it out. It's fun. I sit at a desk two days a week and research bands, most of whom I don't know, but it's cool. The office is fun and there's lots to look at (i.e. old band stickers, posters, magazines everywhere). Definitely has reaffirmed my love for music magazines.

-i am now a co-host and co-producer of a radio show with my two friends called Rude Awakenings. It's on Wednesday mornings at 6:30am (groan). But it's a ton of fun. It's for my campus's newspaper, The Eyeopener. You can catch it on 88.1 in Toronto, or stream online at www.ckln.fm.

-i'm still in my second year of journalism at Ryerson University ... fun funnn.


I've got a lot ahead of me in terms of goals. Within the next year I'd like to get an internship in NYC or here (summer), become Arts and Life editor (fall), and study abroad (spring). It's going to be one heck of a year, and I'll pretty much be rarely going home to Buffalo, NY, but i'm okay with that. I've recently come to the conclusion that everyone there is stuck in a place that isn't going anywhere or at least not fast enough, and in Toronto i am motivated towards my goals and i'm actually doing something whereas whenever i go home i become lazy and unmotivated. sigh. sorry, Buffalo.


I might be starting a joined blog with a friend of mine, it will bring all sorts of calamity, I'm sure!

other than that, not much is going on.
