The Well: Mathias

[Katty]

Have you ever hated somebody?

Who hasn't, really? I only honestly hate one person tho.

I wasn't asking you, I was asking Mathias, did you even read the first post?

[Mathias]

sounds like you've been through a lot with your parents/family. hows the situation now?

The situation is still a little shaky. My mother still doesn't like my father at all. I still hear complaints, etc. My dad's fine now, he's dating someone else, but being at my mom's is usually pretty shaky, even still.

[Mathias]

Have you ever hated somebody?

Yeah. I had a roommate in college that was borderline abusive (I even had to move out). Then, he abused then severely damaged one of my best female friends.

Not cool at all.

I'd like to know more about your newscasting days.

[vashti]

Have you seen "There's Something about Mary"? You know the Magda woman? Yes, I was her body double.

Wanna date?

What would you like to know?

[Mathias]

What do vashti's breasts look like?

Small, but very hot.

Clarify. Nastiest as in...what's the nastiest thing I've done, or nastiest, as in, what did I think was gross?

They are neither large nor small, and since I wasn't able to breast feed with any success, they still look good. They are also real.

I wanted to know how you came into newscasting , what your job was, why you left, and what your impressions of the industry were.

I wanted to be a television reporter since I was about 15. We had a closed-circuit television station at my high school, and I enjoyed every aspect of working on it. So, I researched into the top broadcast journalism schools in the country, and ended up going to the #1 school in the world for what I wanted to do. (Man, if you do some research, you can find out where I got my undergrad...and I'll tell you, I'm still there for my graduate degree! But if you do this research, please discuss it over PM, not here.)

So, coming out of there, I was a news anchor and reporter for two different NBC stations. Yes, I was the guy behind the desk, making idiotic jokes with the meterologists, and making small talk in order to seamlessly put a show together. And yes, I looked damn pretty. I also reported on some major, major things. I've been shot at, been chased out of a ton of places, and a mayor has even taken a swing at me. One of my stories has even won an Emmy. Yes, Mathias is an Emmy-award winner. Pretty sweet, huh?

I left because of ethical issues. Day after day, I was being pressured from higher-ups to manipulate stories in order to make them "sexier", manipulate people in order to get them to talk, and downright lie, every day, in order to get stories. I felt this was horribly wrong, so I started applying for more jobs. As I was applying, I realized that most stations encouraged this same behavior. So, I had two choices...either become a full-time anchor, and just read a Teleprompter for the rest of my life, or get out, and find something else to do.

I got out. I'm VERY glad I did.

It's a fun industry. It's very fast-paced, and the perks of being "famous" are actually pretty incredible. But, with the hours, the shadiness and some of the people involved, it's only something I wanted to do short-term. I'm very glad I did it, though.

[Mathias]

Well, I think my "confession" (where I slept with that blonde) turned out pretty damn horrible.

As far as instantaneously horrible? I think taking two girls' virginities while I was still fairly inexperienced. Those women hurt for a while, and that was not pleasant at all.

why do people in less developed countries have more children than those in more developed ones?
