Meet Special K
My former co-worker Kevin won my movie quote contest the other day, winning him a guest entry spot here at the Lunchroom. I’m proud as hell to be his first. Here’s what Special K had to say:
After living most of my online life on the outside of the blog world looking in, I find myself with the somewhat difficult task of becoming that which I have only observed.
So the question I ask myself is what do I say in my first tender moments as I give up my online journal virginity?
Do I reveal deeply personal secrets? (I can’t name more than 2 Supreme Court justices… but I do know the names of the remaining Bachelorettes on “The Bachelorâ€)
Do I reveal something about my home life (I recently found myself sticking my nose full in my 6 month old’s diaper just to see if it really needed changing.)
Do I tell of my secret loves? (I have a man-crush on Phil Keoghan of the Amazing Race. I don’t want to make out with him or anything…but a nice long hug would not be unwelcome.)
Do I tell of my political views? (While I am an admitted Bill Clinton fan, the thought of his face on a coin that could potentially be in the front pocket of my pants makes me a little uncomfortable.)
So in the end, I decided that the only real and honest thing I could do was to tell something about myself…reveal a little bit of my soul.
I must have eaten something funny.
My farts smell like broccoli.
wtg Kevin. Now that you’ve had your blogging cherry popped, so to speak, chat with Chuck about helping you set up your very own WordPress blog.
And I promise, you’ll enjoy it much more next time.
Kevin, you’re a natural. Go to http://www.blogger.com and start your blog right now. Or use wordpress if you like to torture yourself.
That’s an order.
