Formal apology in response to all the criticism I'm about to get
~Justin Brown

   Hello again. It's about that time for the G-Lake Newz to come back into the world. I'm aware that some may hate me for what I do, and others are jealous of my extraordinary wit, but whatever the case please know -- I love you. We all learn from our mistakes, and I have learned from mine. There are going to be some changes around here. I won't go into detail now, but you'll see once the site is up. To those of you on the Rampage Staff: I respect most of you. I respect that you put out this paper every month, and hell, for a school newspaper it's pretty good. I probably won't mention any names because of this respect. Not mentioning names has nothing to do with getting in trouble with the school *whistles*. I do have some issues with the paper (haha get it?) like the multitude of errors and some of the ridiculous stories (and yes I do realize that much of this has to do with the fast food chain that sells the whopper), but overall you guys are all right. So to clarify/introduce my point: don't be offended by anything I or others write on this website. If you do get offended, it's funny and it's your own fault. This is how I cope with my problems, I ask that you cope with yours.

A note on this type of publication:
   Hey what? There's something called The Onion?!? Yes. I know. I understand. This isn't trying to be The Onion. As proof, I offer the fact that The Onion is funnier than the G-Lake Newz will ever be, and the G-Lake Newz will try to stay away from race issues. And you know what else? This type of writing is self-made invincible. Because it's just a joke, and because it's consistently sarcastic, you can't really make a good argument against it without being ridiculed. Let this serve as a warning to you *ahem*. I'll probably come off as a pompous ass. It's a self-defense mechanism. You have higher self-esteem, so be happy with yourself.

If you want to be on the mailing list for news and updates, e-mail glake@catgofire.com. Do it, it'll be fun.

P.S. As a final note, I'd like to apologize to Guido for disrespecting his institution. Guido, ram, I love you too. You provide such a good learning environment for all of us, and have the most wonderful staff. I love everything about you. Bite me.

P.P.S. (added 10-31-04) Anything (article or otherwise) dealing with issues such as race, sex, or sexual preference is not meant to be taken seriously. The G-Lake Newz is not racist, sexist, or biggot..ist. If you are truly offended by something posted on this Website, follow these easy steps: first, check yo self! Are you being too rigid to realize the humor? Second, e-mail glake@catgofire.com and we'll see if we want to change anything about it. If you're someone from D127 looking to get me in trouble, don't. Please go away now. I'm almost out of your stupid town just leave me alone.
