stains

I don't know why, but it's always easiest to change my sheets in my underwear.  It's probably because it's easiest to change my sheets when I've just gotten out of the shower, that idea of being so clean, so fresh, with new clean sheets and a new clean self.  It's the perfect way to go to bed, even if your hair is still wet.
But today I'm only changing one of my sheets.  The flat sheet to the blue flannel set I wanted to put on got ripped in the dryer and I've only had them a month, so it's pretty lousy, but as they are solid colored, they will be easier to replace.  The fitted sheet that was on my bed, got pissed on.  Not because I was so retarded drunk that I pissed my own bed, like I've known many drunk people to do, but because my dog slept in a little too late this morning.  Yeah my dog pissed my bed.  And I didn't think to pretreat with my  Spray & Wash stick, because I didn't think it would stain, but I should know by now, that everything stains one way or another, either its all over your sheets or it's forever fixed in your memory.  And either way, it sucks.

on journalism....

    The first article I ever wrote for my journalism class in college was about eating healthy on campus. I let my roommate read it and she said she was surprised at how good it was.  She said it was funny and clever and informative.  She was older than me and normally one of my harshest critics so I was excited to turn it in and see what my professor thought.  I ended up getting a C, which was utterly disappointing.  She said that is was well written but lacked any real investigative reporting.  She said the information I provided was not new or interesting but merely stuff that most people on campus already knew.
     I was bummed, but have since learned that to really write something worth reading you need to dig for some good information, so imagine my disappointment when every time I read an article lately about eating healthy or going green I feel like I could have written the same exact one without any research at all.  Why does Laura Turner Seydel get to write articles about going green, when she is obviously already wealthy and I could do it much better? Why does Gigi Stewart get to write about going gluten free, when she couldn't tell me anything I didn't already know, and I still feel like I could tell her some things.  I don't even have a gluten allergy.  I don't think InTown Atlanta is that great of a newspaper, but if you think I didn't volunteer myself to write articles for them, for free already and get turned down, then you're wrong.  
     I have lots of opinions.  I'm full of useful information.  I'm not particularly good at spelling.  Why can't someone pay me to write things?
