9/23/10-Day 3- MTV TJ candadacy advocacy

after staying on this series for about two days, i'm already bored w/ it (my own content can't keep up w/ my ADD). it might be because i couldn't think of anything to blog about and begging for people to nominate me over the interweb isn't what my blog series should be focused on.

@jdevo25 nominate here http://tj.mtv.com/open-nomination/

this is the last blog about being nominated, but it is not the last in the series.

i do have to give a shout out to @AbbeyBrandon for giving me my first nomination and @AudreyReinhardt for my second officially (i hope i don't have to beg as hard for the rest that follow). i met both @AbbeyBrandon and @AudreyReinhardt after coming to D.C.

@AbbeyBrandon is more conservative with her tweets (it's just another way for her to keep up w/ face2face friends)

@AudreyReinhardt on the other hand is an aspiring travel blogger and her lighthearted disposition carries her from italy-to maine-to where she dreams of going.

both great girls and great friends.

nominate @jdevo25 for @MTVTJ @ http://tj.mtv.com/open-nomination/

I wanna be an MTV TJ

I just found out about an opportunity to work for MTV as a TJ; I'm assuming this stands for Twitter Jockey. The moment I saw Sway and his dreads and heard him say that there was yet another opportunity to be apart of the cattle call for budding unknown internet talent, I had to jump at the opportunity.

I saw a show that only had like 6 episodes that came on so late I'm not supprised barely anyone knew about it. It was called, 'I Want to Write For Rolling Stone.' It was around the time I decided to change my major from engineering to creative writing.

After I saw that show and the way that it changed those peoples' lives, it gave me faith that MTV might be getting back to a degree of substance with it's programing. Don't get me wrong, style sells well before substance is on the radar. But I just remembered when MTV used to be on the ragedy edge.

The first season of Real World changed the landscape of documentary film and helped sier in reality . . . entertainment-it goes way passed television now.

This experiment proves that. Yes I am doing a bit of **** riding, but it is still true.

And I can write. And I can edit. And I can produce entertaining viral video in FCP and Imovie without appearing on screen.

And I am just another nobody trying to make it with a crappy toshiba laptop; to much free time on my hands; and way too many networking tools at my disposal.
