Okay, so I’ll give you a break this time. Hopefully it won’t take you 7:46 minutes to read this, were it was 7:46 minutes to watch me babble on. I just returned from the Alpha Phi Omega Co-ed Service fraternity fall camping trip and…..not ready to get back to work.
But unfortunately I have to. So my profile is off to a slow and late start like so many things I work on. I have a couple back up plans, but there is a reason they are my back up plans – I don’t want to do them. Brian Cleary told me during my internship about how he prepares for one of the specific features (Chow/restaurant review or Tunes/music review; for instance). He prepares with an A, B, C and when he can a D plan. “Trust me I had to use that D plan once,” is what he said to me.
So back to my A story – I walked into the Café the other day with a camera around my shoulder. A worker approached me and asked me some awkward questions about my photography experience. It was a little weird at first; only because of how he phrased his word, “So! You think you’re a photographer….huh?!” He began to tell me of what he photographs: Ghosts. “I mean full images of [figures], head to toe. Where others will only do parts,” he said using some terminology that made him seem legit.
We had just finished the story about a journalist following some ghost hunters. It flashed into my head for only a second, but I did not want to do it at the time, for minuscule reasons.
He is going to be talkative about stuff I will be skeptical to believe – it comes with the territory of being a journalist. All in all this will be a learning experience. If and only if, I can find this guy in time. I left in such a hurry for this weekend I did not have time to try and find him, but that’s what back up plans are for. Let’s just hope I don’t reach D this time.

ART 220
This is unrelated to Feature Writing but I wanted to show it anyway. The images are far more detailed than the video can show. I will make a post for this week, later.
These are my letters of the project "Remember the 90's" Alphabet Book.

Class Work
“Don’t take any wooden nickels, was the best advice I have ever heard,” said Patrick Devine. His grandfather told him this when he was a child. The meaning is obvious, don’t get ripped off but for Patrick he sees it differently; “It’s not really the meaning that means something. It’s just funny,” he says with a laugh.
This surfer music man considers Dave Chappell, Muhammad Ali, Bob Dylan and Barack Obama as his heroes and ends everything thing with a smile and a laugh. Patrick, is a senior at High Point University majoring in English wants to, “Change the world,” when he graduates; but his greatest obstacles at the moment is just that: graduating. His friends consider him as easy going and opinionated but Patrick does not see himself the same way, “Silly… and extremely serious,” she says with a laugh of sarcasm.
If he had to choice a job, he wants to be involved in music. He plays the piano, electric guitar as well as the harmonica. Everything about Patrick is a hodgepodge of different ideas.
He picked up the guitar in high school with no real pressure for his parents considering his mother is a elementary school music teacher.
“My father, though, he kind of introduced me to a lot of music. Not playing just the music,” says Patrick whose favorite song is, All Along the Watchtower, by Jimi Hendricks, “Not Dylan’s version.” He makes sure to specify. Because like few Patrick knew that Bob Dylan wrote and recorded the original version.
As for Patrick the destination of a musical career is not the most important thing at the moment for him, “Finishing Research Methods class right now is.”
