Current Song - that Sears commercial
I've been sleeping off and on all day. I'm not going anywhere tonight, just because there's nothing real interesting in Sterling or Rock Falls tonight. I'm still in my lounging clothes.
I woke up around 10:00 or so this morning, and after 'breakfast' I got a call from BP. Yawn. Wanted me to work tonight and have Monday off. Nope. I couldn't just go back to sleep the rest of the day to work overnight, I've been awake for only an hour when they called. When I'm up, I plan on being up for a while.
When they called, I told him that I'd call back. After pondering about the fact that I've lost my sanity by working, going to school, and how that's literally draining my journalism profession, I called back to tell them 'no'. I've already used the 'wedding' excuse, and I just said I can't do it. Speaking of sanity, I could be going somewhere tonight, and almost every off night, but the damn car is still at Mike's.

Going the blog route?
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.72.11
Current Song - I Saw The Light (Todd Rundgren)
I see that some sports writers have blogs of their own through the newspapers they write for. I thought why not me?
This is my blog: mostly about my personal life with some high school sports stuff in it.
Here's what I'm thinking about regarding a sports-themed blog, in pro-con form:
PROS:
1. It would get thoughts out of my head and onto print.
2. By making thoughts, and directing comments to the message board, it would increase message board traffic.
3. I can have a sports blog, no one else in the Sauk Valley has one.
CONS:
1. My thoughts may decrease the # of posts I make on the message board, and other message boards.
2. I would have to create two seperate blogs: one for sports, and the other for personal stuff.
3. Possible wear about IHSA this and IHSA that - could be considered public enemy No. 1 by them.
I'm seriously thinking about this.

Sucks?
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.62.11
Current Song - Plush (Stone Temple Pilots)
I'm in a war over a few 20-25 year olds in Morrison over the use of the word 'sucks'. A poster registered with the username 'newmansucks' and I let it go until complaints piled up about it. I had to pull the plug. He wouldn't listen, and is suspended. Then his friends had to get all riled up about it. The poster formerly known as 'newmansucks' can only have his posting priviledges back IF he changes his username. So far, he is refusing to cooperate.
Then one of his buddies registered under a name that I personally took offense to - and he is suspended until this 'sucks' matter clears.
Throughout all of this, I put a temporary ban on the word 'sucks' - sounds weird, doesn't it? That p'd off more of his buddies. One has now questioned the way I run the message board and predicted it's downfall. The thing to remember about this is that the bickering is coming from an isolated group of people, in defense of someone they know.
I'm in the middle of drawing up a compromise.

Current Song - Ragdoll (The Four Seasons)
I am seriously thinking about quitting BP. Looks like I will if I find a better job soon.
I'm expected to do everything for everybody. That's not the way I should be doing my work over there. More job responsibilities have been handed to me, which can't be done in the time alotted. I'm having to pick up after the shift before me, which in turn doesn't help complete my things. I'm having to leave with plenty more to do. I shouldn't have to be doing half the things I am now doing. That, and no one seems to understand that we all need to pitch in and get that place clean. Getting the store clean is NOT JUST mine and Jess's responsibility.
I also had a huge beer rush right before 1:00 a.m. There is a new bar open down the street, which is pretty popular I guess. They all come crawling in and get their carry-out before the clock strikes one. Well, the main clock in the store is one of those analog clocks with the big hand and little hand. There is only a 12, 3, 6, and 9 on it. The big hand didn't point straight up yet on the 12. Just seconds after the rush, one of the Indians from 2nd shift comes running in the store and looking at the register journal. Turns out I sold a 12-pack 35 seconds after 1:00. I even had to turn down my barber away at 1:03 - after a long argument.
The night before I was told by 2nd shift to mop, sweep, vaccum the rugs and clean the countertops. I do 3 out of 4 every night. Then one Indian had to call the Indian owner (which happens to be his uncle) and confirm that this message was being sent to me.
I don't like it when I am being watched upon like that. What's weird is, I've done things that are against the rules that is being caught on camera - and nothing is ever said to me about it.
They only care about money and profit. Our sales have suffered since the new ownership change. Third shift's sales have been cut in half. We've lost regulars. We lost management. I've lost sanity. So has Jess.
I would like to find another job. And not one of those "temp" jobs, either. As you may know, I am picky about the kind of job I want to work at - I won't work for organizations that shove a rule book down your throat. That means no Wal-Mart Distribution Center for me. And I will not become a robot.
I've put in a lot toward trying to make the place look better. I brought customers back from the last Indian regime (Dave) and developed a carte blanche style of customer service. That's how I like it. But being treated the way I am now, for $7.50/hour, I just can't.
Want Ad's, here I come.
And before you comment, the Gazette is NOT looking for a sports writer.

Columns
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.81.11
Current Song - What You Won't Do For Love (Bobby Caldwell)
I am beginning to wonder where all of the high school sports columns have gone.
Everywhere you see pro and college sports columns, but rarely any high school sports columns. When I do happen to see a column, they look more like personally-written stories. I thought the purpose of a column was to have an opinion and persuade? At least that is how I write my columns. I've even kind of embedded this philosophy into my students.
Why don't we see high school sports columns? One thing could be the softness of high school sports. It seems more harsh to criticize something about high school sports than it is with college and professional sports. We are dealing with 14-to-19-year-old kids along with adults who do this kind of thing (coaching) as a secondary profession. Kids are young and cute. These adults are just trying, like a parent in PTA.
I've always considered the fact that for a big majority of high school athletes, their senior year of high school is where the buck stops. Should they be exposed to some (limited) criticism? Thinking about it further, I think it would be acceptable for a newspaper to do such a thing. This is because they act as the voice of the town, or region. With me, my credo doesn't carry much weight because of my loose ties with such a large area.
So do you go after those whose full-time focus is on high school athletics? Athletics Directors? IHSA Administration? Principals? I've gone after the IHSA tons of times.
Another reason why we do not see a whole lot of high school sports columns is because internal matters are not interesting enough. Internal matters in high school sports include: coaching searches, conference changes, high school tradition changes, new basketball rules, and other inner workings that make up the aura of high school sports.
It is possible to comment about the inner workings of high school sports, but the commitment towards writing and researching data on that does not seem enthusing. You begin to wonder who in the world would read it? Does this contained matter interest those outside the containment field? Figuring how it will interest those takes time; some would feel that is wasted time.
Then how much is too much? You want to try to make the game(s), person(s), or season(s) interesting. Cliffhangers?
A dream of mine has always been a Northern Illinois high school sports summit. I often wonder if message boards serve that purpose.

College blues
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.61.11
Current Song - The Long and Winding Road (The Beatles)
I don't know what classes I would like to take at SVCC next semester. I have options, obviously.
SPE 131 - Oral communication. I would like to take more toward the end of community college, not only because of my talking problem, but because I can't be in the class when I am tired and talking in slurs.
MAT 115 - A math class, principles of modern mathematics. Good luck with that, Cody! There's only a 6:00 to 8:45 Tuesday night class for this.
ENG 201 - Fiction. Reading. Monday and Friday 9:30 to 10:45. Chances are, I'll have to read a book within the week.
ENG 206 - Creative Writing II. Getting through this creative writing class was tough enough. TWO? I'd get to have some pub in the literary magazine.
BIO 104 - Biology. Telecourse. I get to watch movies overnight when I'm not working.
Future ideas include:
HUM 112 - Film appreciation. Also an NIU Comms transfer.
CHE 101 - Intro to chemistry for non-science majors.
PED 214 - Intro to physical education. Probably fufills my sports emphasis.
HUM 210 - Intro to the Humanities. Internet class.
I have been strongly recommended by academic advisors to only take 6 or less credit hours a semester. I've got at least 11 classes (33 credit hours) to take before getting out of here. If all goes well, I could be done by summer of 2009. If I am out of work, or working less hours, I could be done sooner.
Either way, it's been one hell of a slow ride.

Jobs
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.90.11
Current Song - Sweet Lullaby (Deep Forest)
Don't ask me why I'm listening to a Deep Forest song.
I don't mean to reiterate things all of the time. However, here is a little about my jobs stance:
I am currently working three or four days a week at BP: from midnight to 9:00 AM. These are new hours. I am working three days this week, and four days next week. I'm alternating with Jess - and I just hope he is more flexible to work with than Kevin was. I lose just a little sleep with this new thing, but I hope it will work out well with the writing-school-work balance.
If any of you locals have heard, yes, we have new Indian owners and a completely different management. Only me, Jess, Mema, Sam and Magen have been retained. Two noteable names are missing, and with that, a lot of regulars. Jess is already thinking about looking for another job, and I'm only looking at possibilities right now. I still plan on staying.
The one obvious place is Sauk Valley Newspapers. They are not looking for a sportswriter at this moment, although I do check the Shaw Newspapers' career postings on the Internet. Newton, IA is not in my interests, nor is copy editing for the NW Herald. Another issue I have with SVN is over creative differences. The two writing philosophies are different (theirs and mine), and I know I won't get creative control over my stories. If only they would grant me creative control over my stories, maybe I'll consider it. And it's not like I come at a hefty price (a la Joe Torre); it doesn't matter how much I am paid (7.50 or over). I just want people to know things. Spotlight stealing is also an issue, which was what Jeff told me from the moment I was hired.
I have ruled out small weeklies, such as the P-Town Echo - not enough pay, and I thought I'd let the locals get a crack at that. That is what makes a weekly paper unique. I don't want to tarnish that good thing they have going. And I would encourage more locals from these small towns to take a shot at writing for a weekly.
The Quad City Times I had to put on the backburner until I was feasibly able to know of my stance at BP and my associates degree. That, and the car situation. However, Don has heard of my website. Jon, I'm not sure. He's the one who runs the preps part of the sports section. I have mentioned that I would be great for an eastern-area correspondent (Morrison, Fulton, Erie, Ster-Rock). A resume may be coming. It looks like they've also added Shannon to their staff. He worked at the Moline Dispatch and is the QCA's wrestling guru.
Things may be looking full at the Rockford Register Star. They've got a well-balanced preps staff, and Andy too.
I'm checking out the Peoria Journal Star site right now ... nothing.
Now I'm just doing a run-through all around Illinois ...

WARNING: A Reoccuring theme
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.40.11
Current Song - I Can't Go For That (Hall and Oates)
WARNING: This isn't the first time I have mentioned this, and certainly isn't the last. It's more like the umpteenth time. It's about trying to get more posters on the message board. Writing and typing my thoughts is what helps me think about what I'm trying to accomplish. That's all.
How to get more posters on the message board: Part (insert random roman numerals here)
Not too long ago, I looked back on my proposed and never accomplished Road Trip and saw something wasn't right with it. Something wasn't right with the timing, too. The RT originally had me traveling in two circular shapes: a small one through the Sauk Valley area and a big one starting and ending at Galesburg. This would be difficult to accomplish.
Then when looking at our surviving playoff teams, I thought of a better idea. Four teams that are still in the running are Cambridge, Galena, Plano and Harvard. The, or close to the, four corners of the area.
Ahh, the four corners process. The gold represents the Sauk Valley area, which surrounds the epicenter of the coverage area, Sterling. That task doesn't seem too bad. I've astricked the dense population areas. However, this process does not hit the anchor areas. I'd let the connecting process take care of itself. This idea is also best in order to retain the box-like boundaries of the coverage area.
What would happen if I were to make Freeport, the QCA, Princeton, and DeKalb the four centers? (Sorry, but uploading another picture will distort the structure of the blog entry) The chances of that process retaining the box area is not as great as the pic above. Sure, I could let the connecting process take care of itself as well in this area. However, an anchor city is more likely to take notice of the spreading process taking place in the four corners, than a corner city is to take notice of the spreading process in the anchors.
That would, in turn, overlap the Sauk Valley area with the four anchors. Lanark, Oregon, Amboy and Erie - the four corners of the Sauk Valley area, would experience influence from two directions.
So that would put out four seperate trips, outside of Sterling's area:
1. QC/Galesburg/Princeton/Erie - key stop: Geneseo
2. Princeton/Seneca/DeKalb/Leland - key stop: LaSalle-Peru
3. DeKalb/Harvard/Freeport/Oregon - key stop: Rockford
4. Freeport/East Dubuque/QC/Lanark - key stop: Savanna

Message Boards and Me
Cutter's Log - Stardate 7002.30.11
Current Song - Clap For The Wolfman (The Guess Who)
Hi, my name is #35.
I am a selfish, inconsiderate, rude, irresponsible, forgetful, mindless, insulting, unforgiving devilish brat of message board posting.
Every post I post gets shot down. I've lost my message board sanity. I constantly make mistakes. I stumble in my arguments. I contridict myself. It was exciting to see that I was a young kid who knew a lot, but now I have grown older. I've been dethroned. Thrown into the ranks of HHSTigerFan and Fratboy.
There are a few that would like me to turn back to their side. As Vader said, "I'm afraid it's too late for me." If I turn back to your side, I will die.
