Oh hello there. Thanks for stopping by! (insert cheesy laugh and friendly greeting smile here)
My name is Lauren but my friends have called me LEERAN since my university days. A simple typing error by my best friend in an MSN convo. has doomed me to an eternity with a bad nickname. NOOOOOOO.
I am a 25 year old graduate of the Broadcast Journalism program at Mohawk College and also have my BA in English from Western. Yes hello quarter life crisis. Nice to meet you. But seriously, you don’t just find a quarter life crisis in a John Mayer song, it happens to the best of us.
I am now looking for employment in my field and am beyond excited to get my career started. Have I mentioned how hard it is to get a start in the journalism/television industry??? Give up? Nahhhh.. it’s not in my nature.
I consider myself to be a bit of a clown and sometimes I can’t really tell if I am being sarcastic or not. I love to laugh, eat, play sports and I workout more than Hal Johnson and Joanne McCloud of Bodybreak put together. Well…maybe not that much but I do find those endorphins to be awfully addictive.
This blog is a chance for me to get out my daily nonsense (expect a lot) while providing some insight into newsworthy issues. Please feel free to leave me your comments. I want to know if you like what I am doing, if you hate it or are in the journalism industry and would like to offer me some career insight or perhaps even a job. Yes, I have always been a dreamer!
I leave you with a picture of me. This is pretty much me in a nutshell. (Help I’m in a nutshell).
Loved the blog and your funny and candid comments. I especially want you to be successful in the job hunt. I need to retire soon.
LeeJay (a nickname also brought on by someone’s error) you rock my world….I love your blog already! Keep ‘em coming…
Very good Leeran good luck in your future endeavors

We may be able to work with you on your journalism project. I have a show this Sunday (3/16) night… We’re only about two and a half hours from you… You’d be welcome to spend sometime before the show with my wife and I at our home and then accompany us to the show… I will also have two other comics there who would be happy to speak with you, on camera, about what our life is like… All we’d want is a copy of the final product on DVD. I realize it’s sooner than you may have wanted to film this, but I’ll be leaving town next Tuesday for two and a half weeks… Let me know… Steve.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leeran. It started off as a simple typing error. Made by my parents. On my birth certificate. Actually, it’s not really a typing error. Actually, fuck you. Actually, sorry about that. It’s just a bad nickname. To you! To me, it’s who I am. It’s my name. It’s my everything. Do you see? Do you see the pain that your little “website” ummm “thing” has caused to ummmm “me?” Yeah. That’s right. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Lot’s o’ Love,
Leeran!
P.S. I heart you Lermsky? That’s my brother’s name!
