This sounds fake, and you want us to think your friends get paid for writing. You just keep dreaming, tell the folks your a big shot writer after you borrow another load of money from them. You may write, but no one reads it. You have had way too much Tincture or Shatter.
Yes ^CC, another rant comes in from the Gresham Gazette. This poor soul wants us to think He/She has it going on. This could be what everyone has been waiting for, someone to fix I/A.
This is brilliant and spot-on, especially after a certain someone's very recent FaceBook tirade. This I, A post is perfect. The only unfortunate consequence is that it just reaffirms his condescending perception of himself at the center of the universe where he also honestly believes that these sorts of apt criticisms are rooted in petty jealousy and insecurity rather than legit reactions to his particular brand of malignant narcissism. But thanks for this anyway - it's a fight worth picking.
I am really surprised that the Willamette Week keeps that guy on staff. He's a terrible writer, and as obnoxious as he is unoriginal. It's like hiring the guy no one likes at the party to be your editor.
I once had the unpleasant experience of being in the same bar as the subject of this IA. I had absolutely no clue who he was at the time. I wish that were still the case.
