hey dudes,
so my name is danny...ive had this blog for a while now, and i just haven't done anything with it. so i read my friend danielle's blog and it inspired me to write in my spare time. hopefully itll be liberating or some shit like that.
currently im the features editor for Inside Beat, the entertainment section of the Rutgers Daily Targum. so i'm big on writing about entertainment things and usually focus on music, but the job title enforces me to write about a broad spectrum of things, besides reviews. features are kinda like timeless articles that can be published at any time, or trend pieces, or anything basically that isn't a review.
so i figure sometimes ill write just about shit that is going on, and sometimes ill put up some entertainment/music stuff if i feel like it...when fall semester comes around again and i'm writing for the paper again, ill have more stuff on schedule with the newspaper...well see how it goes
if you want to read some of my past articles, check out my myspace page which is http://www.myspace.com/doubleplayproductions and be sure to check out the blog...i dont know..i think im kind of an interesting writer..i try to use a lot of personality and voice in my writing...its very stream-of-consciousness, and a lot of people think its too informal and won't get me anywhere in my quest for writership in the future, but i'm ok with that...a lot of the stuff i write i feel very strongly about, and a lot of the time it makes me and my friends laugh...so if it only does that, then im content.
i love shitting on bands. i think its awesome...its just so much fun to really be creative to let people know exactly what you think through your writing..its such a rush to know that people read what you write. don't get me wrong, i love giving good reviews as well...but i just think its a lot of fun to give the old one-two to a band that really deserves it...i have no problems being an asshole..but still remain somewhat objective in a profession demeanor...i guess ive been lucky because Inside Beat is a really relaxed medium in which i can really voice my true colors really about anything..theyre very flexible on language and content..which makes someone like me fit in real well.
so i think im done with this addition to my blog for now...ive been at the bar all weekend (i work at a bar called the Ale N' Wich as a door guy)...but now im going back because Shane is working htere..so im gonna go chill there and play some pool...I'm gonna give Noah a call and see if he wants to go..and Avi said he was going to..so hopefully itll be a nice day at the bar
talk to you all later!
