I MADE IT TO THE PAPERS!!!

I have to start by saying that the title of this post is rather misleading. When I say “made it to the papers” I don’t mean there’s a feature story on me in there. To be honest, it really is just a picture of me from the Art and Beer Festival that appeared in yesterday’s copy of The Star. It wasn’t an interview and there are no intelligent-sounding quotes from me or anything. Just my picture really.

But you can bet your ass on it that I’m about to make the biggest deal about it.

Now my younger brother, who’s still in uni by the way, is a pretty good writer and has even had three articles published in BD Life section of The Business Daily. I’m talking a two-page spread with his photographs also being used in the article. Big deal, right? Well you’d think so but the bugger likes to take the oh-so-humble route and doesn’t even really bring it up. Me? That humble stuff just doesn’t cut it. I jump up and down, shout it off roof tops and ask for a public holiday to be declared in honour of my picture appearing in The Star. There’s no room for that coy, humble stuff on my mantelpiece what with my framed picture from The Star taking up all the space.

I made it to the papers and for that, dear reader, you can take the day off.

How’s tomorrow for you?

Happy Friday beautiful people :)
