Congrats and all but ...

... if I have to read about someone's wedding plans one more time, I may punch them in the face.

Why do people think that everyone else wants to know every single aspect of their wedding planning journey? I don't care if your invitations are white with pink roses, that you're having a hard time deciding between the country club or the destination wedding or that you know who's on your guest list. And please stop announcing how great your fiancé is, because I don't care.

Maybe I'm a little bitter. I don't know. I know Kyle and I will get married when the time is right. I know in my mind who's coming to my wedding, what kind of flowers I'd like to have, who's going to be in my bridal party and that the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with is amazing.

Really, I think all those little details are just best kept within your close friends. The 200+ people you're "Friends" with on Facebook probably don't care all that much and out of the 5 per cent of the people who do care, 90 per cent of them probably aren't invited.

Okay, I'm done bitching now. If I ever irritate you with wedding details when the time comes, please tell me and I'll shut up. Hell, Superman punch me in the face if I talk too much.

Video killed the radio star

It's funny, the first "real" job I applied for was at the NL radio station, and while I got an interview, the guy who interviewed me wanted me to do a whole bunch of other stuff as part of the application process. (Voice recording, broadcast writing style, etc.) I guess I just kind of lost interest in wanting to do broadcast, or maybe I just didn't want to have to do all this extra crap just to maybe get a job. Oh well. As it turns out, I got a job in print media.

Anyway, the funny thing is, now that I'm working at an amazing publication, I've been exposed to so many different aspects of media. Like on Friday, I was on TV, which was crazy-insane. I never thought that working at a little paper would get me behind a camera. It was quite surreal. Heck, I've only been graduated from J-School for a couple months or so now and I've already hosted a seminar to tell people about print media.

It's funny the way things just kind of work out for you in the end.

Oh why ...

Do I torture myself by trying to keep up with my blogs?
