Today's Rejected Ledge

Another soon to be abandoned blog by Nate? Yes.

My new idea? I've started writing Ledges. Aka the back cover of the Daily Iowan sports section, which have generally been written by Andrew Juhl since my freshman year. I have grown more and more to like his stuff, but sometimes it falls a little flat (which everything that has to be written once a day will do). This Star Wars one was pretty sweet, but then again it's hard for me to not like any reference made to Star Wars.

Anyways, most of these I write, I expect to be rejected by the DI, hence the title of these posts. Sometimes I mean for the rejection, like in this first one, sometimes I don't. You figure it out. Anyways, I'll say this will be a regular thing, until it isn't.

Things Deemed Newsworthy that Aren’t

1. Celebrity Eating Habits: barring any diagnosed medical condition, if you don’t want to be fat, eat healthy and exercise. Don’t base your happiness on disgustingly determined societal images of “Celebrities.”

2. Strike that last one. It should read Anything to do with “Celebrities.” Britney Spears should be exiled. Perez Hilton uses Paint to draw cum stains on pictures. I guess knowing about Brody and the Kardashian’s fued makes you credible.

3. Political Sex Scandals. Human Beings, especially those that run “news organizations” have no right to be morally presumptuous of other human being’s lives.

4. Anything to do with “Celebrities.”

5. Intramural Sports

6. The coverage of animal rights over human rights. Michael Vick rightfully spent 18 months in prison for murdering dogs. Dante Stallworth spent 30 days in prison for the death of another human being. Are we all degenerate?

7. Reviews: Movies, music or literary. Consume media because it moves or inspires you. Formulate your own opinions about things (especially about this statement).

8. Jon and Kate. Maybe the 8. Seriously, Jon and Kate disgust me.

9. Did I mention celebrities?

Note: Nathan Ley wants to inform readers that he wishes he was as jacked as Brad Pitt in Fight Club, was quoted in a Daily Iowan intramural sports story this semester, used to write movie, music and literary reviews for the Daily Iowan, and is usually morally presumptuous of other human being’s lives. He doesn’t really have a problem with dog killing though – well at least not while human killing continues.
