Deadlines extended because of haters

By popular demand, we have extended deadlines for opinion staff applications to Sept. 2.

Isn’t that grand?

You know one of the interesting aspects of being an opinion writer is learning about the ebb and flow of opinions in the media.

Like the ancient Buddhist concept of karma, opinions are not only conveyed, but also received. What does this mean?

Well when you write opinions, people will not only be reading what you have to say, but they will also be responding.

These materialize in the form of hilarious, poorly spelled comments on idsnews.com.Sometimes, if you’ve really baked the scrod of the reader, you will receive actual hate mail.

Being an opinion writer means having a “haters gonna hate” mentality. Like the richest hip-hop artist in the world, Jay-Z once said: “Where are my haters, I love all my haters.”

Embracing this mantra into your daily life costs nothing and the potential benefits are
astounding.

You see, people who can maintain this lifestyle generally become very successful. Other examples include: Billy Mays, Bill O’Reilly and Bill Gates.

All of these people have seen the haters, loved the haters and moved on to get money in the bank.

So now that you’ve heard what its like to be an opinion writer and know that the deadlines have been extended to Sept. 2, no doubt you’ll be applying.

I’ll wait here while you fill out the application. It shouldn’t take too long.
