Case study no. 1:Creepy-minded venezuelan student

I've been tired for a long while now of several things. One of them is contradiction. One of my teachers at mycareerthatslikejournalism (mctlj from now on) told us students that we're creepy-minded because we grew up with Chavez as president. I was 9 years old when Chavez ran for present candidate. 10 when "we" lost. 14 when they killed the manifestants on april 2002. I knew I'd have a dim short-term future ahead as everyone used to look down on me and sigh. And now I'm pissed off. Big time.

Most people out of my country believe uni students are the fighters of the country (that's when they don't fancy Chavez), and I can't see why not, if they students are as angry as I am! Really! But angry people tend to do wild things, like coming up with creative (aka strange) solutions that didn't ever seem to fit in place, or, as my teacher was probably right to point, develop a creepy mind. And it's weird, trust me. My local generation here are bare-fisted fighters. My age partners at mctlj are frowned upon when they say they study journalism. But I won't speak for them, I'll speak for myself.

I am tired of calling people to get interviews and unavoidably get nervous sighs from them or off-the-bat mean'ness. I'm no spy! I don't mean anyone wrong. The "media" won't kill you, man! And I don't think there's anything evil about media, it's just that people, in fear, in isolation from their own environment, tend to think the media is right! Hey, reality is what one makes of it, not what the media tells you to make of it, so if people were a bit more creative and have criteria, they'd stop blaiming the media for the evil image of things. Gr.

I'll... eventually come back and keep explaining, ok?
