The Father’s Show Blog

Hello world. My name is Julius Vaughns. If you haven’t already heard of me, don’t worry about it. I’m no one special, just your average Joe.

Currently, I reside in Aurora, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, which has been my home for nearly all of my 25 years of life. I come from a very tight-knit family, whom I give all of the credit for helping mold me into a respectable, decent young man.

I’m a 2002 graduate of William C. Hinkley High School in Aurora, and on some days wish I could go back for a moment in time. Being out of high school made me realize how easy of a life I had. Not that mine is extremely hard right now, but I could stand to not have to worry about any bills for a while.

It was at Hinkley where I discovered my love for writing and, after serving two years as staff writer and editor of the school’s yearbook, I continued to pursue my education at Franklin College in Indiana, earning a bachelor’s degree in journalism in May 2006. There, I wrote for the college’s weekly newspaper and was able to craft my skills with the help of terrific professors and three internships at local Indianapolis and Denver newspapers.

Upon graduation, I found an exciting, yet challenging position at YourHub.com, a community journalism Web site and weekly publication, where I managed several of the site’s pages, wrote stories and designed the print publications. Considering it was my first ‘real-world job’ out of college, I think I learned quite a bit and had a fun time doing it.

However, after about 2 years, I realized that being a full-blown journalist was not for me, thus bringing me to the world of blogging. From what I understand, I’ve been missing out.

So, bear with me as I plan to delve into some of my favorite topics, including sports and music. I promise to make this as enjoyable of a read as possible.

Thanks for having me, and happy reading.
