2008 Woodie Awards
Rambling continuously

Issue date: 5/21/08 Section: Opinion
Have you ever ran out of things to write about? Odds are you, unlike me, have never been assinged a weekly opinion article and therefore have only really written something under two key circumstances.
Circumstance one: You have a huge essay due next week. The essay was probably assinged by some professor you can't stand and evasive maneuver's must be taken. You cram the books, write some bull crap down, turn it in and get an "A". Congrats, you may now return to playing endless hours of "Guitar Hero" and "Smash Brothers".
Circumstance two: You actually really care about something and decide to write a blog or poem on your myspace, facebook, or xanga account. This type of writing isn't dissimilar to my "op-ed" style as it, (like this article) usually turns into an enraged, misinformed rant.
My point is that most people don't ever have the unfortuante experience of having to write something when they really have no reason to write anything.
When this does happen you'll see it. You'll know the reporter is completely full of it and you'll have me to thank for it.
