Debut--The Quest for a Future Job

To those of you unfamiliar with "The Voice of '04," I'll offer this in the way of introduction.
My name is Anthony Daniel Harrell. I'm from Middle Tennessee, the greater Nashville area, the pride of Murfreesboro-Riverdale High School and Middle Tennessee State University. At the time of this entry, I'm 20 years young, with the big 2-1 coming up in early November.
I'm a self-described sports nut and radio dork, with passions for writing, broadcasting, Japanese language/culture/music/animation, food/cooking, local music, theatre and the arts, photography, history, and sports uniform/logo design.
I'm an Electronic Media Journalism major (with a minor in Marketing) at MTSU, and I've been doing podcasts (even before they were called podcasts or put online) of high school, college, and minor league sports since 2002, when I was in high school myself. My grasp of the games, unique broadcasting style (dovetailed with my love of radio marketing/sales), and drive to become a radio play-by-play success all combine with my youth, energy, and vocabularity to make me (in my own opinion) one of the hottest play-by-play prospects in sportscasting today. The "04" in my nickname comes from 2004, the year I graduated high school and the year I realized how much work I needed to put myself through to become a top-tier talent.

This blog will be occasionally a place for me to vent my frustrations or rejoice at my successes, but it will mainly serve as my paperless clearinghouse for updates on the near-reality show that is my quest for work after graduation. I'm using all the time I have between now and then to gather information on independent and smaller-market minor league teams and to categorize and prioritize them. In so doing, I make it easier on myself when it comes to opening dialogues with these teams, hopefully getting them to consider me for either a job or a broadcasting "developmental contract" (helping me with expenses, maybe making me an account exec, and holding my rights at that level while I podcast for a lower-level team, like a college) when I'm through at MTSU.
