While on assignment a bit ago, I had a repeat-epiphany as to why this job is awesome. I spent the lunch hour listening to live jazz and talking to some really cool Delawareans about it.

I then wrote it up and got paid for it (Take THAT engineering majors) and all without losing my lunch break.

Later that week, another intern was sent out to cover the same event. And he rapped it (watch the video on the right side). How many other jobs let you pull that kind of crap?

Of course, there’s all the other reason’s being a journalist is awesome but I’m not sure if I could put into words non-journalists could understand. I’m not trying to be condescending, just inarticulate.

And here’s a couple of details for the “So that’s Delaware” file: they actually have “We sell it on eBay!” stores here. So it wasn’t just a cheap “40-year-old Virgin” gag.

And ever notice the state slogans on signs when you enter a new state? Like Maryland’s “Please enjoy the Chesapeake Bay!” sign. Except our nations great first state’s “now entering” slogan is “Home of tax-free shopping!” Delaware rocks.
