Dear misterbones,

I was reading my morning paper today, and I accidentally ripped several pages while trying to flip to a story I wanted to read. Should I tape the pages up or will they heal naturally? I respect your opinion as a doctor of journalism, and I appreciate any help you can give me in this matter.

Yours truly,
Anon B

Dear Anon B,

What paper? It all depends on what goddamn paper.
Waste no time in getting me this information, I need to know before any other judgement can be made.

Yours, misterbones (DoJ)

Yes. Because newspapers are dead. And anyone with a keyboard can be a journalist online.

Dear misterbones,

The paper I was reading was my copy of the Daily Mirror. I am very worried about it. Please respond with all haste.

Yours,
Anon B

Dear Anon B,

Just as I feared. You have a problem, but fortunatley I know exactly what to do:
1. Rip up the rest of the paper.
2. Wipe your ass after ever poop with the torn up paper.
3. Start a big fire with the remains.
4. Burn yourself and be clean of the Daily Mail.

I am sorry it has to be this way.

Yours regretfully,
misterbones. (DoJ)

It isn't hard to journal per say, it is hard to journal better than everyone else around you. It's one of those jobs we're education matters little because your skills can be tested pretty easily. IE you write in a sample journal entry.

There's a lot of jobs, especially in the arts that seem super easy, but in reality are very hard. Like being a children's book author, sure writing a children's book is easy, but that means a lot of people are doing it, and do you really think you'rs is best seller material?

I have decided to write a book instead. It shall be called Fear and Loathing in Liverpool and will recount a trip I took to the city.
