This website has been something of a working experiment. I have studied communications for several years, yet there is something uniquely special about creating your own website. I am solely responsible for everything on here, from the top down. Sure, I got plenty of help from various programs, but this site is unique to me. Another huge source has been the Communications faculty at Salem State College. While I have been given input, this blog will never be an endorsement or advertiser.

So, what’s all this fuss about anyway? I was delighted to have my chairwoman ‘tweet’ asking others to check out my blog. I was disappointed to find the following comment though:

“so wait....your top ten jobs are at the top 10 advertising agencies and the government!! original!! zzzzzzzzz”

Eek! My first comment wasn’t so hot it seems. At least they are sleeping now, so let’s talk about a few different factors here (quietly of course!). First, gain humility. I am always open to comments and criticism, no matter how harsh (as long as it was warranted). In the above case, I don’t know the person, so it’s hard to judge the situation appropriately. But again, I will take into consideration their concerns. That isn’t to say one should just push over upon the first sign of criticism, quite the contrary. Truth rises to the top and in this case, I was being called for my lack of originality. Perhaps, but I honestly would KILL to be at any of the places I previously mentioned - and that is a fact.

I think the comment was meant for me to take bigger chances with my expectations, so here’s another shorter list of companies that are looooooooooooong shots:

1. Silver Cup Studios

Located in Long Island City, this studio is home to my favorite show on television, ’30 Rock.’ I would love to follow Tina Fey as she write, produces, acts or directs while on the set. At least I get to follow her on Twitter. Small wins...

2. Saturday Night Live

I used to think I was funny. Then I tried stand-up. No, it didn’t go THAT bad, but comedy has always been a passion of mine. I love to laugh, but I love making others laugh even more. Those who know me best know of my crazy and opinionated ways. The next Mike Myers? Well, I’m not Canadian, but why not?! Always leave ‘em laughing!

3. Nintendo

Since I was but a young lad, I had an obsession with Nintendo. No, not all video games, NINTENDO! I subscribed to Nintendo Power and eagerly awaited the next big Mario game. Having any creative role at Nintendo would be mind-blowing.

4. Adult Swim

This network has revolutionized the late night scene and is responsible for several hit shows that I can’t get enough of. Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Classic! Robot Chicken? Insane! Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! Well, I think the name speaks for itself there...

5. Engadget

I have to visit this blog at least a few times a day. If I don’t, I might miss out on that new processor chip announcement! Or I might even miss *gasp* a Steve Jobs keynote! Ahhhh!
