Living the Dream
Well, today I took a step closer to fulfilling my dream. My unattainable dream. Of actually being Superman. I joined the University newspaper as a columnist. Well, I guess I haven't actually joined until I've written my first article, but I went to the meeting. It was really great. For some reason I thought that the people who wrote for the Gateway would be really intimidating and aggresive in shooting down the opinions of everyone around them, but they were actually really open, accepting and honest. I found I enjoyed the meeting, and going to the campus bar afterwards. So now I'll get a chance to write a slightly more right wing viewpoint in our notoriously left wing paper. I was actually surprised that they were looking for more right wing input, but couldn't find anyone willing to write. I'm really hoping this will be a chance to encourage the Christians on campus to not just react to the occasionally objectionable articles, but actually listen to people who have a different viewpoint, and try and understand where they're coming from. I'm really looking forward to trying this out. Well Jimmy, grab your camera, there's news afoot!

Superman,
Indeed, very very glad to hear that you got on with the paper. Though I certainly am not willing to say that they are 'open and accepting' as of yet, most likely only due to a few key writers, I'm glad to hear that your input will help them move that way. :) Let me know when the first article goes in. In fact....why not post it as a blog??

Way to go Superman!
Peace.
That's awesome Superman. I am going to have to agree with Ryan, post your articles as blogs as well, since some of us have been removed from the 'never ceases to amaze' environment in which the Gateway is available.
Superman :) Maybe I'm just a keener....but I figured your article may be up by now. It's on the web hey?
