Ow, that hurts.
My very good buddy Sean Blanda was named among the 100 best young journalists in the country. And, rightly, so, got a nod on the front page of Temple University’s School of Communications homepage.
I was gleeful over getting the same nod – a place on the UWire 100. So where’s my love?
Now, I do have to be fair. I did not graduate with a journalism degree. That’s true.
But I’d figure Temple’s journalism school would want, like any other, to claim as many “honorees” as they can. It was hard to miss me, I was even quoted in Seany’s profile. I didn’t make the cut, though, when it came to SCT boasting.
Also, I was an editor with The Temple News, the celebrated college newspaper of that university, that has to be considered a driving force in promotion for the school’s journalism program.
Is this petty? Of course it is petty!
But don’t worry, this got more of a laugh than much of a whine out of me.
That’s because I am apparently developing a long history with Temple University when it comes to half-starts, half-honors and good, old-fashioned kicks in the balls.
