cheers deux, cos they look identical to the lad musician oiled boots on their webshop.

where do I get these? or something similar? This thread is dope

Hmm, interesting, i may actually try and search for a sample of this magnifique after all. just when i read blood and semen in the initial description, I shuddered.

I'll have a look for the Rodriguez one aswell.. have you tried any amouage? that also sounded intriguing.

done my hw on magnifique, and while I ain't even touched a sample, I'm not sure I want to.. read quite a lot of reviews and it's doesn't tempt me in the slightest, while sounding conceptual it doesn't appear in my 'frag list'.

I want something out of the ordinary. aromatic, possibly floral, not sure. not bothered about overly masculine scents. I heard dior homme intense is abit unique, have you smelled this frag?

No, have you any decent sites to get samples from (bear in mind im in the UK).

I was reading up reviews on fragantica and it's sound up my street? Have you heard bad stuff tek?

Anyone ever tried Mouchoir Monsieur by Guerlain on here?

kinda tempted to purchase.

LOL.

seen it months ago.

We don't have to like everyone but peaceful co-existence is the goal. Can we quit before bans are handed out? It is in your hands.

oh fuck off.

peaceful co-existence? have you heard yourself?

superfuture is not known for peaceful co-existence.

dressed by the internet is one thing

occupation by the internet is completely stupid

never meant to pos you.

for spouting so much garbage.

I never had my possible career choice given to me via internet. I'm a tad stuck and undecided.

what is your point?

I love you too bitch.

how is that retarded anyway? It's a sentence that makes you sense you stupid cunt.

It helps to get your hand held through the industry, the essential skills you need need (like how to stay on top of your email/do research and obtain information that may not exactly be accessible through google alone/how to bridge those connections with people like editors who will pay you to do work/how to do your taxes) but by and large your portfolio, and your most recent work will make the case for you to be eventually 'hired' as a staff writer/reporter than what you were studying in undergrad. Yes a journalism degree from a reputable university is a signifier to an employer that you will probably find it easier on your first month on the job than someone else, but experience is a much better teacher.

Do you want to be a journalist? I mean a real journalist, not a #fakeimportant mansplainer who contributes to Thought Catalog, has 1,000 followers on twitter, works an 'internship' (slave job) that's only quasi-media related, and eventually wind up doing PR for a start-up or social media or some other bullshit. A journalist has no social life, follows around public relations people, spends all day on Gmail/the phone, and does NOT have a balanced work-life schedule. Oh, and job security is virtually non-existent, you're constantly battling Buzzfeed for internet eyeballs in an attempt to justify the $22/hour you'd be making (that's being generous), all while getting spammed for nearly every spelling error that shows up in your copy because you're also doing the job of copyediting your work, a position that existed in ancient times (2003.)

It's important to really define what it is you want to be doing. I want to work at a place like Buzzfeed one day; I don't want to compete with grad students and career journalists for a staff job at the Washington Post, at least not yet. I want to cover things I'm interested in, not municipal politics.

If you want to be a journalist, go start doing journalism. You have a Twitter account right? Get one. Get a smartphone. Get a camera (an iPhone 5 or equivalent camera is fine now, by the by), and learn how to compose a picture like the ones you see on A1. Get a legitimate website (your "inspiration" tumblr doesn't count. Nobody gives a fuck that you know how to wear pants), write every day no matter what even if it's two lines about your bullshit roommates eating your peanut butter. You have to write. And you have to read as much as possible. Subscribe to actual magazines and pay attention to the people writing the things you read; they're your industry peers and you should address them as such. Disagree with an oped? Call the writer out on Twitter in a professional manner. Have a discussion with a real journalist. Email them. Let them know you exist, even if it's in a "I'd love to do what you're doing" type of way. It's nearly as important as being able to string a lede together in 4 minutes, as it is to be recognizable, in name, style, beat, and writing ability.

Don't fake anything. Nothing is more obvious than reading a piece where the writer themself doesn't understand the subject. Work. There are thousands and thousands of people who want to do what you want to do.

I'll never forget doing corporate relations for the GOVERNMENT (a PR mouthpiece job where I wrote press releases for journalists and worked with them directly, but I was really the anti-journalist, framing stuff) and seeing how many applications I was competing against when I got hired. It was approaching four digits. And this was for a summer student temp job.

I don't mean to come off as pessimistic (even though I really am), but I've seen the industry for what it is. And yes, if you work hard enough, there is a place for you in it, and in 2014, it's growing. But there's a lot of bullshit lurking, especially at the entrance gate. Ever work a 10 hour shift for free? I have. And I nearly became homeless because of it. That's another thing; save. Your. Pennies. I know a lot of people on sufu are trust fundies who get their tuition paid for, and that's great, but you have to realize the terms of engagement with internships. By and large, they're a crock. I was very fortunate to learn the hard way (through debt and having to pay for my way right from the jump) that if I was going to actually do this, I needed to figure out a way to sustain myself. And I did. But that doesn't mean I got asked to photocopy things and get coffee for the staff of a national magazine for 3 months before I clued in that I wasn't learning anything and was essentially the bitch boy. You'll find those. And you'll also find one or two people who see what's happening, take you under your wing, and mentor you. That's the true value in an internship; the connections you'll make. But despite what your faculty, peers and the companies handling internships might tell you, you can bridge those connections anywhere, at any time. Hang around. Pay attention. More people than you might realize pass you every day.

Okay I'm mad rambling now. tl;dr figure out what you want to do in media (find specific people doing what you want to do and MIRROR THE FUCK OUT OF THEM.), learn how to take pictures, write every day, spend at least a half hour a day straight READING. ARTICLES., get twitter, get a real website/portfolio (an excellent opportunity to learn simple web design/coding, a skill that's increasingly more valuable), get a camera and shoot everything, email journalists, participate in journalism, and write as much as fucking possible. Figure out the true value of your time, and from there, go forth amongst internships. But if you're legitimately good at something, unless it's for a favour or a labour of love, never give it away for free. You're a business, man.

EDIT: Dug up a post from Justin Ling that you should absolutely read if you're serious about this freelance rap shit (er, journalism) http://demarchy.ca/post/44971169975/freelance-journalism-the-money-the-job-the-mouse

I really need to get my arse into gear regarding my portfolio, nothing has been 'added' as such, but I gotta take my maths GCSE again due to it being shit (rest is fine), so I have an extra year to get my head down and think.. but how mathematics comes into journalism regarding uni applications, I dunno! suppose universities are inching that 'bar' upwards a little each year for a collection of reasons.

Thats where I get a tad 'wishy washy' regarding my possible future in journalism. writing is my niche I guess. I like it.. do i love it? er, sometimes, I suppose..what I happen to be writing on at that particular time is the basis to the answer. I was just sitting down thinking about how restrictive journalism may be initially and if I could deal with them specific boundaries as such, then my mind was wandering and I thought maybe more hands on route, somewhere my nature can flourish. This is aint a kanye-type rooftop boast, but I DO regard myself as creative.. always been drawing, and I feel like I have alot of 'ideas' of the creative spectrum to give. I make a half-decent researcher when I pull my finger regarding college, and I truly LOVE researching, could do it all day.

I dont actually have Twitter, about the only one I dont have an account to. And I dont read half as much as I should. Fantastic advice though iac, nice one bud.I just did a little simple discursive at college. Gimme yer email and ill send it over to you, and you can have a look when you got 2 secs (1500w).
