I am Charlie

Joystick Blog

My name is Charlie Mason and I'd like to introduce myself to this pleasant, little community of bloggers. First of all, I'm a newspaper editor for the Reagle Times in Wisconsin and the father of a lovely little girl named Emma. Most days, I'm in the office editing away at the mundane articles my business writers submit to me. I enjoy breaking up this time by talking to the people within my office, usually trying to make them smirk with my clever comments. In my downtime, I take part in a computer game where I play the perfect dad. I bring home nicknacks and wonderful gifts everyday to my precious daughter in the game that I could not possibly afford in real life. Also, in the game take her on fun vacations to disney world and the zoo on a weekly basis.
My online gaming is what I dream my life could be if only I had sufficient resources and time. With my particular editing position comes being responsible for several columns which leaves little time for my real life daughter, Emma. Also, the pay is barely enough to pay my bills and be able to eat at the end of the month. I feel as if I'm complaining too much. In all actuality, my life is better than most. I have a job that allows me to interact with people's perspectives on the business world and also keeps clothes on my back and food on the table. I just still long to be the perfect dad in much the same way some poeple long to be rich and famous. This is why I choose to spend my down time fufilling a dream of mine that I could not possibly accomplish in real life. That's the just of me, you'll find out more later.
