Submission?

Parameters of Mediocrity/Internet Jungle



For starters, there can’t be any poetry here - it’s forbidden and non-negotiable. Deal with it. Secondly, thou shalt not be too wordy. Within the parameters of mediocrity that surround the Internet jungle, rambling is strictly forbidden. Should you ramble, an alarm will sound, security will be notified and….hey - what’s that sound?

In today’s world, well it’s always today’s world. That’s how it was yesterday, that’s how it is now and that’s how it will be tomorrow. Just trust in that and let’s move on - before an alarm sounds.

So here we are, in a jungle, albeit an electronic information jungle. All kinds of scary monsters out there - everything from foreign lottery scams, pedophiles, pornography, massive email marketing scams, 20% off offers that come every 20 minutes from a well known household item store that advise you to act fast as your offer is still waiting - you get the picture. Everyone is selling something and it seems they'll stop at nothing to get the information to anyone and everyone. It really is a jungle out there.

Please take note that this submission is loaded with original content, written by me - name, address and phone number included. Also worth noting is the complete lack of any and all clever formatting - there is nothing on this page that is written in the desperate attempt and/or hope of getting you to notice me. Oh, I almost forgot - by getting you to notice me, I mean publish and/or pay me.

It’s worth mentioning that I’m writing this completely sober - I swear. May not be my best look as I’ve been told on occasion that I’m a very funny drunk - but never mind my hobbies. Let the record show that this submission, and the hopes of it rendering editors into a state of…well, sure, submission, as it were, is most definitely not about being rejected. You can trust me on this one, because if it were about being rejected, I would most certainly save the writing and the sending of it for a time when I was completely intoxicated, well-made Margaritas having made for a daring roll of the dice. It is indeed a jungle out there. By the way, the phrase “It’s a jungle out there.” may just be my favorite cliche - ever. I’ll decide after several Margaritas.
