What up all ye blind bastards,
As you may (or may not) know, I'm one of the ops writers for
TommieMedia, the on-campus news organization where I attend
college. Ever since before I got the job, I've been playing with
the idea of writing about how pictures seems to be almost a
pivotal part of casual conversation. I had decided, a little
earlier this semester, to drop the idea, because I really didn't
want to be the blind person whining about how his life really
sucks because of pictures.
However, something happened today - a mere three hours before my
job meeting, might I add - that brought the idea to the forefront
of my mind once again. I was sitting in my roommate's bedroom
with my roommate himself, his girlfriend and a few of his guy
friends. Seemingly without preamble, they started hysterically
laughing because of something that turned out to be on Josh's
phone. I felt really stupid because, for the umpteenth time in my
life, I felt inclined to ask what the joke was, and I felt really
stupid doing so because they really couldn't describe it.
Now, after spending half of the job meeting talking about story
ideas in groups, I feel like at least pitching the idea out
there... but I really don't know how to do that. I want to do it
in such a way where I'm observing this phenomenon from possibly a
blind person's point of view, but I don't want to be a whiner.
After that kind of pointless rant, I ask you this. Do you observe
the same thing, particularly on the social scene? Do you think
there's an angle from which I can do this while sounding, well...
with it? Is this even a good idea to begin with?
Oh yeah, I'm not asking you to like, write the story for me or
anything. Just in case you get confused by what I'm trying to
ask. I'm just bouncing the idea off of people who are, by in
large, in a similar sort of situation.
Thanksages,
Your dictator
