Journal of a Working Boy: May 2006
http://dannycross.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Journal of a Working Boy. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. We won the game. ouch. I believe that a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch is a terrible way for a baseball game to end. Every young baseball player's dream was one swing of the bat away for Opoien. The Santiam Christian defense, behind a strong pitching performance, was one out away from avoiding the threat and retaking the game's momentum after already coming back from two down to tie the score heading into the seventh. Pitch one: Strike one. Crowson said that th...

Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions: July 2006
http://aaronburkhalter.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions. Sunday, July 23, 2006. As a windshield expert skillfully removed the spiderwebbed pane of glass off of our car and put a clean and pristine new pane back onto the car we talked about the news, and what kind of journalist I would be. Are you a liberal journalist or a conservative journalist? My current internship requires that my editor and I set aside time each week to discuss ethical issues, and we stumbled all over the issue of religion last week. Should t...

Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions: June 2006
http://aaronburkhalter.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions. Monday, June 12, 2006. Just take a few moments. As I've mentioned before, and will probably not mention again in the future, this blog was conceived to fulfill a classroom requirement. Tomorrow our professor will go through each blog and grade it based on content and creativity, among other things. One of those other things is basic stuff like spelling and grammer. What if you saved it and came back to it later to revise before posting? What if, rather than mere...

Journal of a Working Boy: Amanda Beard has nice boobs... allegedly.
http://dannycross.blogspot.com/2007/06/amanda-beard-has-nice-boobs-allegedly.html
Journal of a Working Boy. Thursday, June 14, 2007. Amanda Beard has nice boobs. allegedly. The caption underneath this photo of 25-year-old, blue-eyed swimmer Amanda Beard on ESPN's Web site reads:. Amanda Beard's Playboy debut may harm her status as a role model to young girls.". This is called editorializing, a no-no in the unbiased media business. Later, the nameless Associated Press reporter states the following:. Amanda Beard has participated in the Olympics three times, winning two gold medals, fou...

Journal of a Working Boy: April 2007

Journal of a Working Boy. Thursday, April 05, 2007. Ladies get in line. behind Kevin. Written March 13, 2007). My roommate Kevin keeps coming home with new fashion pants and telling me how great a deal he got on them. I immediately demand that he drive me to whatever fine retail outlet distributes the American-designed, Colombian-assembled jeans so I can look like a fashionable young professional like him. Kevin usually laughs a satisfied laugh. Dude," he said. "You don't even know.". I had to agree....

Journal of a Working Boy: Women's ball makes me feel uncomfortable
http://dannycross.blogspot.com/2008/04/womens-ball-makes-me-feel-uncomfortable.html
Journal of a Working Boy. Wednesday, April 09, 2008. Women's ball makes me feel uncomfortable. Written April 5, 2008. I like to think of myself as more respectful of women than the likes of Keith Hernandez. That dyed-mustache wearing jackass once saw a female trainer tending to a mildly injured ballplayer in the New York Mets’ dugout and declared that women shouldn’t be allowed in Major League Baseball dugouts. He later sort of apologized: I’m just kidding you know I love you gals. She makes the free thr...

Journal of a Working Boy: How the Bengals indiscriminately ruined the holidays for everybody in Cincinnati.
http://dannycross.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-bengals-indiscriminately-ruined.html
Journal of a Working Boy. Thursday, January 11, 2007. How the Bengals indiscriminately ruined the holidays for everybody in Cincinnati. Written Tuesday, January 2, 2007). It was like watching a disabled child reach for a stick of candy from a street vendor only to trip off the curb, fall into a muddy puddle, then get run over by a truck. Today, shouts of "Who Dey! What was I doing at a gay bar? Maybe you should be the journalist.). And what did it get us? A dramatic, seemingly game-tying drive melted awa...

Journal of a Working Boy: November 2006
http://dannycross.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Journal of a Working Boy. Wednesday, November 15, 2006. Recently I found myself thrust into this structure in the form of the most-oppressed character: The frustrated, wronged consumer. I was having trouble installing a tape deck in my "new" 1988 Volkswagen Fox. Apparently there is no wiring harness available for this somewhat rare German vehicle, so I took it to "The Stereo Store! Normally we charge $20 for the upgrade," he began. He continued: "I'm willing to split it with you. So if you come up wi...

Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions: August 2006
http://aaronburkhalter.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions. Thursday, August 03, 2006. Last night I went to the Clatsop County Fair to cover a panal discussion on tsunamis. What made the evening interesting was not the conversation, but what I carried on my back. As I walked around with my multi-media tools slung on my back I kept thinking, "I love this job." Where else am I given the space to research and really write on a subject while I get to excercise my audio media skills as well. What we're learning in newspaper j...

Because NPR Always Ignores My Submissions. Monday, July 02, 2007. I love Paris Hilton, and I think you do too. So this thing got spread all over YouTube like fake cheese on a Ritz cracker, and it begs the ongoing question among newsmakers as to what is newsworthy and what is not. I go back and forth on this issue, and I've been contemplating it since the Associated Press attempted a moratorium on stories about Paris Hilton. Am I proud of this? Hardly. Am I ashamed?
