Everyday our brain fabricates stories for ourselves about who we are and what we should be doing with our life. Only imagine what would happen if suddenly the national media starts covering your life. Just as everyone else, your brain will feel pressure to tell different stories, stories whose plotline is driven more by what others want to hear. On the front page of today’s NY Times is one funny example. Much of the richness of the story lies between the lines. For One Student, a College Career Becomes a Career By SAM DILLONCollege is for Life
WHITEWATER, Wis. - Nearly every college has some screwball who never seems to graduate, lingering year after year as classmates move on. And then there is Johnny Lechner. In his 12th year of college here, Mr. Lechner has parlayed life as perpetual student into a lucrative personal brand. His genius for self-promotion might have earned him Phi Beta Kappa - if only it had been applied to his studies. He has appeared on “Late Show” with David Letterman, “Good Morning America” and other shows, describing a roisterous campus lifestyle of beer and merrymaking. National Lampoon is promising to pay his tuition, and the makers of Monster Energy Drink deliver 30 cases a week, along with advertising posters and condoms, to the house where Mr. Lechner lives and parties, in exchange for his endorsement of Monster as “the official energy drink” of his 12th college year.

After a trans-Atlantic trip, Dec. 24, 2001: I wasn’t that excited about spending the night at Bush’s ranch. He must have thought to himself, what’s going to happen if he invites in a former intelligence officer. But Bush himself is the son of a former head of the C.I.A. So we were a nice little family circle and felt pretty good. Addressing deputies of the State Council, May 28, 2001: I know perfectly well that I’m guilty of everything, even if I’m not guilty. That completely applies to everyone who sits in the hall today. You are also guilty even if you don’t know what it’s all about.Finally a Politician who Speaks his Mind
