As pointed out wisely by America’s most trusted news source, The Onion, stereotypes save time. But at what cost Demetrius? At what cost?
Everyday when I come to work (yes, it is a full time job) I like to
think I've infiltrated a secret society of fiendish scumbuckets (in the
nicest possible sense) that are students. You may never even notice me
as I walk past you in the quad as I look just like you. I smell just
like you. I am invisible. I am Sam Fisher. But I am not like you. I am
not, nor have I ever been, a student at AUT.
The reason for this long winded and pointless opening is because
many people seem to think I do this job for fun or as part of my study
or as a part-time job. I am just here to inform everyone who cares
(yes, both of you) that this is not the case.

I'm in love. I never thought it would happen but it has. Sure I've had
flings before, but this time it's different. This time it's deeper. You
know that feeling that you get when you just can't wait until you see
your special love, when all you can think about each day is what she
will say to you when you meet up later on? I currently have that. Admit
it, you're jealous of me (as if you weren't already).
Wednesday
is our date night when we set aside time for each other. It is our
special night. Sure she may not be monogamous, but I don't care. As far
as I'm concerned, with all the excitement and joy she gives me, it
should be spread around. I'm not greedy.

Before we get started, for those of you competing at home, 5 points
goes to those who noticed the grammar mistake in last week's
Jeditorial. It was easier to spot than the first week's one, so that
makes a total of 15 points. Anyone at 100%? I could say that these were
on purpose to set up this scoring system, but then I would just be
deceiving myself, not unlike this week's photo. Now let's get back to
reality.
So here we are, three issues in and I think things are
going ok. I hope you think so too. If not I'm sorry, but it is very
hard to please everyone unless you're, you know, Ron Jeremy or
something.
In 2006, before I was working here, debate did a
survey to see how things were going and what you guys thought of
debate. I'm going to be completely honest, the results were extremely
aggravating. The problem was that half of you wanted more serious
articles, half of you wanted more funny stuff, and the other half
wanted us to keep it the same. Every time someone complained about a
particular something, there was always someone else who cancelled it
out.

Ahhh, the dreaded editorial. The place where the egotistical editor can
lecture you about bullshit you don’t care about because their opinion
somehow matters more than yours. It’s easy to imagine that a big-shot
magazine editor like me has a pretty high opinion of himself. (For the
record, ‘big-shot’ was being used facetiously.)
That picture is pretty gross, eh? Blood makes me faint like I’ve just
found out the world is actually an elaborate board game of Risk played
by God and his buddies, and God is losing because he formed an alliance
with Judas who betrayed him. They never learn. Obviously no one has
established any sort of military force in New Zealand yet which is
strange considering our strategic importance. How do they expect to
take Antarctica? Through South America? Not with the fortress Elvis has
set up there.
