After sifting through the thousands...and thousands of emails you readers and viewers have sent in from all over the country, I have decided I would post some answers to your questions on this weeks blog and I will also try to get back to you all personally. I will start off by letting Ryan from MTV know that if you are able to kill me, you will not in fact become me. The theory from the Santa Clause does not apply to Brendan T Cherry. If you kill me chances are you will go to jail, and when you strike me down I will become more powerful then you could ever be.
The second question I would like to address is the question relating to magazine writing. I am a journalism major myself and although I have yet to take a magazine writing class I can see the appeal to it. My advice to any aspiring writer is quite simple and probably something you have heard before, but keep writing. Write everyday and it doesn't have to be serious. I like to write as I am waking up and before I go to bed. In both instances I just like to let my consciousness stream from pen to paper. It is a good way to start your day and a great way to develop your own voice. Another piece of advice I can give is you should always carry a small pocket sized notebook in which you can record anything you've heard that you like or a thought that struck you and you would like to record. You never know where you are going to find inspiration. As far as breaking into the magazine business is concerned you just have to be open to opportunities and get your clips, whether it be at a school paper, starting your own publication, or an internship. Do anything you can to stand out and show your creativity. I hope this helps!
A few of you asked about finding internships in your local cities. My advice to this is do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed by the internship process. It is easy to get ca
ught up in the hype of finding the perfect internship, career fairs, application process, deadlines, and what-ifs. All those factors can lead to inaction. The key thing to remember is to apply to whatever strikes you as interesting and let the rest take care of itself. Talk to career services on campus and take whatever wisdom you can from them and of course search your school database as well as experience.com!

The key thing to remember is to apply to whatever strikes you as interesting and let the rest take care of itself. Talk to career services on campus and take whatever wisdom you can from them and of course search your school database as well as experience.com! Those were the two major questions that we received that we felt as though everyone could gain a bit of knowledge from. We also received an interesting email from the people of http://www.ceointern.com/. It appears as though we are in the position to exchange a little publicity for publicity. It is important in the world of business to scratch backs and then in turn have your back scratched. This website will bring you to the homepage of 5 college interns who 
are being followed as they become CEOs of a company for 8 weeks. They are making a reality show out of the experience which I assume will come out after their 8 weeks are up, so check out their website. Beyond the fact that what they are doing is at the very least unique and I find it to be very interesting, these students are also working with one of the coolest substances, liquid nitrogen. I have always found liquid nitrogen to be an intriguing chemical. If I had three wishes one would be for an abundant supply of liquid nitrogen, two would be for the abolishment of liquid nitrogen laws, and three would be for chemicals to talk so I could figure out what it was like to be that miraculous substance. I once saw it sweep up the floor of my 8th grade science room, shatter apples, and lets not forget its heroics in Terminator 2. I suppose everyone wants to be powerful and Liquid NO2 is certainly that. I mean that is why we are putting in the time as interns now, so we can boss 
interns later! At least I know I am in it for the right reasons. Anyways if I had a ton of liquid NO2 I suppose I would just use it to freeze apples and throw them like fruity little balls of glass. If you guys down at 300below can hook that up let me know! Anyways back to topic; I was reading those students' bios and hot dog do those guys have some credentials. All of them seem to know other languages and have previous experience in major firms so this experiment ought to be very interesting, and also the back scratching they give us in their blog should be oh so sweet seeing as they have some big time endorsement, but do not let myself and Kate look bad, drive up their traffic from this site so we exchange equal scratching.

Anyways, that all for today. I will get back to you all on Thursday where I will explain to you the trials and tribulations of this week's video and I am sure I will have something else to say, but I suppose I will have a better idea of what that something is when Thursday comes around. Same Chez time (on Thursday) same Chez Channel.
Love your friend in time and emotion,
The Chez Dispenser
P.S. --- Upon further investigation it appears as though they do not really do anything with liquid NO2, but my beliefs on the subject still stand with the slight change of I would rather be able to switch from human to some sort of Liquid NO2 hero and use the other two wishes for something better like Jafar's snake staff and the ability to print money from my mouth. However, having revealed that, their internship is still sweet and worth checking out especially if you are a business guy or gal. Also I noticed comments on my FOX news blog and I wanted to say I was only kidding as I know they are a little biased in favor of democrats, if you want real unslanted news we all know to watch Colbert. Thanks for reading and I will post again this week!

Now printing money with your mouth would be a cool super power. That way you could pay for your own college, and your brother's too for that matter. Then again, why would you need college? Just to be enlightened? Certainly not to get a better paying job. As far as having the ability to change into liquid Nitrogen seems to be a little one sided, almost a waste of a super power. If it were me…., hmmmm what super power would I want? I got it! I would like the ability to change any liquid into beer. That way I could put Moe's out of business, and spend more time with Homer. Of course I would require an additional power to change solids into Pizza.

You're a journalism major???????? You should spend some time editing your posts ... Santa Clause?????? Last time I checked it was Santa Claus, unless you are referring to the Tim Allen movie.
