Intro

       Hey my name is Sean Taverna, and this is my blog for my Intro to Journalism class.  I am 20 years old from Watertown, MA and a junior at Bridgewater State University.  I'm taking this class because I'm a Communication major and I want to write as a career, even though journalism is a "dying profession;" I chose Comm. so I could be opened up for more jobs with my degree, maybe like writing for a company, but I want to start an English minor before this year is over.  I might start off writing for a newspaper but I'd like to write for a magazine; my #1 pick would be Rolling Stone because I'm really into music (reach for the SKYYYYY). 
       By reading this sick blog you can find out about underground music, which is mostly what I listen to, and that's why I named it after the Ninja Turtles (they live underground in the sewer if you're not cool and didn't know.)  This is also my first semester writing for The Comment, Bridgewater State's student newspaper, which you could call underground news since not that many people read it.  Some of the underground artists that I get real excited about are in hip-hop, reggae-rock, and ska-punk, so anyone who likes those genres but only listen to mainstream and want to find some really good bands can by reading my stuff. 
       I feel like I don't have the authority to write about music yet since I don't play an instrument, but I'm taking Music Fundamentals this semester and I plan on learning guitar (yeahhh I'll let you know how that goes.)  I'll post links to good bands, practice writing CD reviews of bands that I like, and maybe even concert reviews if I get to some before December.  I'll also post any articles I write for The Comment, which comes out every Friday.  And I'll try to blog about every time I eat pizza because that's what the Ninja Turtles eat (alllllllll dayyyyyy).
