THE VIGILANT MONKEY
We think outside the box. We ask the questions. We break the rules. We cross that line.
It's a crazy world, from the mundane to the monumental, from the small towns to the urban cities. Bombarded every day with news, images, stories, ideas, music, politics, noise, religion, love, violence, hate, peace, and war, our culture is caught up in a whirlwind of change. Every day more barriers, more red tape, more political correctness, more fear, and more silence make it harder for anyone to speak without being shouted down.
There is no standard, never a given. We've fallen off the spectrum. Left to our own devices, we are ever watchful of what goes on around us, realizing that everything is connected, everything is meaningful, and everything has room for improvement.
The Vigilant Monkey is a forum for people to voice their opinions and their stories, their thoughts and their discontent. We report on the strange, rant about the everyday, question what we see, talk about our passions and interests, and strive to make a positive change.
When everyone seems to be talking, we seek to speak, listen, and respond.

Watch closely. You might learn something.
So what are we looking for?
You!! We're looking for people interested in being part of a start-up online magazine with a lot of creativity and potential, but a lot of work ahead of us.
Nothing is set in stone, so now is the time to tell us, based on what you've read, where you see the magazine going, what content you'd like to see, and how you'd like to contribute.
Most of all, we want interaction!! We want people who come to the site to find out something new every time. We’d love to post local events, news, comments, suggestions, and ideas. The more focused we start out, the faster we can branch out.
Right now, we are especially interested in columnists, bloggers, contributing writers, photographers, and artists.
Some of the departments we are looking to cover are as follows:
- Entertainment (Film/Radio/TV/Theatre)
- Politics (National/International)
- Art
- Mind, Body, Soul
- Fashion
- Technology (Gadgets/Cars/Internet/Latest Inventions)
- Adventure (Travel, Extreme, Local)
- Health, Environment, Culture, Human Rights
- Absurd News Stories/Legislation/Celebrities/Etc.
And the list goes on . . .
Also, website development, graphic design, researching content, advertising, marketing and promotions, and photography. hehe - so really, we're interested in everyone.
While The Vigilant Monkey is still in the process of taking shape, our current goal is to have monthly features, blogs, columns, and an active ongoing message board.
More than anything, we want to be a place where the interesting, the informative, the funny, the absurd, the scary, the unbelievable, and the everyday converge.
Do you get paid?
As soon as we get paid, we'll pay you =P We love you all - which is why you are receiving this - but right now there is no monetary compensation. There is, however, the always important exposure and recognition. This is a great way to get clips and get your name out there. We will also feature contributor, columnist, and blogger bios.
Last, but not least. . . . get on our mailing list!! Reply to this posting to let us know that you have read it and thoroughly care to find out more. Please send all submissions, ideas, and queries to vigilantmonkeymag@gmail.com.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you!!
