A WORD FROM THE 'EDITOR'
Hey everybody! Thank you so much for engaging with me on AskFM over the past few years. It's really fun responding to people's questions, but I'm going to be pulling the plug on this profile for a little while.
Truthfully, the only incentive that the anonymous option of AskFM gave was a no-trouble way of delivering hate mail. Which for me, is fine - I've got a very thick skin and can turn it back around as a joke. But I don't want to encourage the idea of this site being a harassment platform, and have that spread to other people who don't react the same way.
If you ever want to ask me a question, you can hit me up on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit, Email, Text, Carrier Pigeon, whatever. I'll do my best to respond to you in a timely manner. For Leafs questions, we'll have the Mailbag on The Leafs Nation every Monday. I might do something similar on my personal site. But this is the end of the road on here.. for now.
Thanks again for reading,
Jeff

What are your future goals or where do you see this hockey blogging taking you? What did you take in university or college to get yourself where you are today?
I really want to write about or create hockey content for a living. I've made strides in that direction, but I've still got work to do.
I didn't do post-secondary for a myriad of reasons. Wish my situation was different a few years ago. I'd recommend taking the school route if possible, though.
I'm not sure what my next step is, but I plan on finding out soon.

does the loose skin thing hurt your self esteem? i gained 20lbs my first year of university. ive lost the weight now, but im stuck with the hideous stretch marks. it really bums me out because they never go away. it makes me hate myself for letting myself ever get fat. how do you deal with that
It really sucks, I'm not going to lie. It throws off my clothes sizes; i'm a size larger in the stomach than the rest of the area that shirts cover. It goes down towards the waist, which boosts up my jean size (meaning I can't find a truly slim pair of pants, just baggy or skinny). I hate it.
But you know what I would hate more than the loose skin? The fat still being in there. One day it'll go away or I'll be able to afford the surgery. But I brought myself to the best shape of my life. It's a badge of honour until then.

hi former fat, i was just wondering what do you ussally eat in one day. im trying to lose weight
Oh man, it varies a lot based off of my activity. I'm not a good example, haha. Yesterday I had a huge omelette with home fries, banana bread, cookies, ice cream, rice and corn, and popcorn. My fitbit also said I walked 31km and burned 4950 calories, so...
It's the summer, so I alternate between extremely cautious days and snack days. I try to maximize protein though, so I can get a bit of muscle from all of my moving around. For someone trying to lose, watch your calories using myfitnesspal and focus on meats and veggies - they'll fill you up the most relative to calories consumed. As well, avoid drinking your calories.

Dude im sure you know its horrible to be overweight, any tips how to lose weight fast what did you do? And how much weight can someone lose in 4months?
First off, my timing on responding to you is really shitty and I'm sorry. We're actually past the four months you mentioned and that's awful of me.
If you're still interested in my response, don't focus on losing weight "fast". Focus on losing it consistently. Dropping a pound a week for a year is easier and likely better for you than losing 50 pounds in 3 months, as long as you make proper lifestyle changes.

Who is the most underrated player in the NHL in your opinion?
Somebody that everybody constantly forgets. Can you really be considered underrated if everybody thinks that you're underrated? Probably not - that just means that people who vote for those guys think that they're smarter fans than everybody else.
How did you become a reporter for the Marlies?
I mean, I'm not a reporter "for" them, but rather about them. As for how that came about? I noticed a lack of people talking about the team, got myself in touch with the right people at the time, turned that into getting some free tickets so I could at least follow the games, and eventually parlayed that into getting into the press box.
It was a right place right time scenario, really. Almost every person I dealt with at the time is gone and there isn't really a void to fill any more. I can't give direct advice for them, but the in-general advice I can give is to ways you can help someone out before you ask them to help you. Give, at the very least, what you get. Find situations where you can do that.

Would you ever consider dating someone who follows you on social media sites? ... Asking anonymously cause im way to shy
I think it would be crazy for anybody to block out a platform of meeting anybody for any reason because it has an "uncool" stigma. So in theory yes. But on a strictly personal level, I'm content with where I'm at right now.
I bought a clarkson t-shirt cuz it was in the sale bin. Should I hand in my leafs fan membership, or just hope he turns it around.
David Clarkson's only disservice to Leafs fans is that he wasn't as good as his bosses thought he was. He clearly loves the team and is working his ass off to try to justify their investment. That's a good shirt to have; I don't know if there's many others who want their name on the back as much as him.
How do you deal with all this relentless hate? Have you just grown a thick skin over the years? Have any tips for a teen being bullied?
Thick skin probably has a lot to do with it. As for tips? Stick with being yourself and doing what you love. Teenagers, on the whole, suck. We all mature and move on from the dumb shit, including the bullies. Of all the dumb crap I had happen with people in school over the years, maybe one situation isn't "under the bridge" today and a situation that *I* directly messed up.
Their bullying is temporary (though if you know someone who can help you get it to stop, do it). They'll grow up. Keep doing the things you love doing.
