Newspaper

A newspaper is a kind of outdated way to get your daily fill of news. Nowadays people use the Internet or TV to find out what’s going on in the world of ours. Oh well. I haven’t picked up a newspaper in a while now. We used to have to get a newspaper at least once a week for school for current events, and I loved newspapers back then. Once I picked out an article, I had a ton of news and stuff to read during and after school. Ok, to be honest I just paged through the sports section to see how the Yankees did last night or something. The rest of the paper I couldn’t care less about. I remember back when I would take posters out of the newspaper that they would make for baseball things like the Subway Series or Opening Day. I guess I should mention I read The Daily News. And by read I mean the past tense. I don’t read newspapers at all now. I just use my school’s online subscription to The New York Times to get my news. Might as well tell you some other things about me. I’m a huge fan of competitive speedcubing and Smash Bros. I’ve been solving Rubik’s Cubes for nearly three years now, ever since I got a cube for Christmas, well, three years ago. You can often find me posting in the off-topic boards on the Speedsolving forum. My thread about making assumptions about the next person to post has over 1,100 replies, which is the most of any thread created in the last 5 years. It’s also the second biggest that you can still reply to, second only to the stickies thread Non-cubers say the darndest things! Whoa... that got off-topic. It seems like I always do things like this. I basically resurrected the off-topic board on Speedsolving and got people coming to it regularly to make assumptions, write haikus, make acronyms out of words, and more. People say that of all the people this year, I’m the most deserving of a ban because of all the off-topic threads. And then they go on to say they’re glad I didn’t get banned because those games are fun. But to be fair, I didn’t break any forum rules with my threads, unless all those posts count for spam, which I don’t think they do. I’ve also been nominated for most ambiguous member, most underappreciated member, best and worst of everything with my teenage cubers thread, and the Matt11111 award for best off-topic threads. YAY ME! AAAAAnd here we go again with the off-topicness.
