The Wildcard Round! This Week's winner, as selected from all eligible entries by the Virtual Dice, will receive an Inquisitive MB! Have you ever been on tv, the radio, or in your local newspaper before? Tell us about it! If not, tell us about someone you know who has. I am not sure of the exact year. Possibly, very early 80's. I'll have to get out some old paperwork and check it out. Anyway, I was working at a dog kennel. The kennel help had a group picture taken which was printed in a small news circular for advertisement purposes. Does college count? (1999-2005) I wrote and directed a skit for an advertisement, about how trees give us clean air. The skit was recorded. Our teacher was suppose to give us CD copies but he reneged and did not give them out. I also ran the TV camera for a different skit by a classmate. That is a job I loved. Running the camera is purely a great way to work. They were older type cameras. A big bulky black box on wheels. You had to watch as you rolled it around because there were huge round cables attached that needed to be kept straight and clear as you moved in for shots. Looking through the lenses was like watching a different world. Plus, I starred in a Pizza commercial for someone in a different class. I was the dying Italian mother of a Pizza shop owner who was suppose to be my son. I had to get a teacher to show me how to add a rough Italian accent to the scripted words. It was recorded. I might have a copy somewhere. Since my major was print journalism, the print journalism students were allowed to drop this class even though it was a required journalism class. I went through it for the insight. I wanted to know how television programs are produced. It was in my last year and I had a lot of fun in this class. I actually worked on every type of equipment used to send these programs, that we watch, out into peoples homes. Later in life, I saw one of the other students, who was from this class on a local television commercial. He wanted to become an actor. I don't know if he made it or not. It would be nice to know if he actually ever got more parts than the commercial. Never be afraid to know something new. My dad used to tell me, Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back. Life should be full of joy. Things you can look back on and be happy about.  ![Merit Badge in Blogging
