Chuck Klosterman defines the type of journalism I would love to do: Witty pop-culture references dispersed throughout thought-provoking essays.
My summers of sitting around listening to VH1 while reading The Onion and the New York Times has helped me master the art of combining pop culture and international news in satire. Klosterman is the person that launched this desire for a career in journalism during my high school years, and the more I think about a possibility of working within the confines of The Daily Show, the more I imagine my hidden dreams becoming a reality. Everyone thinks I plan on staying in the realm of the practical: a government job or teaching. But I don't want to stay in the practical. Yes, it is a good idea to always have a practical backup plan, but I want to shoot for the fun.
The only thing that could be better than my dream is my dream....but via blogging and vlogging. My knowledge and consistent use of all of the various means of internet communications and networking is a huge assest for me. Even if my dreams do not pan out like I would prefer them to, I could always look for something in a marketing field just based on my networking skills both in real life and in the virtual world.
I've always hoped that my dry sense of wit could be helpful in life.
