Ok, so here goes nothin.. I've officially decided to jump in to a new adventure that could turn out to be completely rewarding. Or, let's face it friends, it could turn out to be a complete flop. But either way, I'm sure that by now you've figured out that this big exciting new endeavor I'm talking about is starting this very blog...which you're apparently already reading.
So, "why a blog?" you may ask. Well, it could be the result of the quirky yet lovable English teacher I had the pleasure of learning from during my junior year of high school. Her name was Nancy Duffner and we were pretty much her little group of misfits. Our class affectionately became known as "Duffy's Day Care," which was eventually shortened to just "Duff Care." Anywho, Duffy told me I was a good writer, and while to this day I still appreciate her confidence in my abilities, I believe her encouragement may be similar to that given to those really unfortunate people who think it's a good idea to try out for American Idol. Someone told them they had some great singing chops and encouraged them to audition...then they found out they weren't quite as good as their friends and family led them to believe. So if this does in fact turn out to be a flop, you can blame Duffy.
Or...I could be starting this blog because I just feel like it. In which case, if it's not that great, well, you can still blame Duffy.
So welcome to my adventure, my dear friend. Tune in to see what sorts of shennanigans I can manage to get myself into.
Hope you enjoy!

Nice! (and btw, if Duffy ever reads your blog, she is thanked - job well done.)
ReplyDeleteK-Rock, I'm sure that's not them name your parents dropped on you, but due to my ignorance of your name, I'll stick with your profile name...sounds intriguing right? Anyway, I saw you signed up to follow my blog and I checked out yours. I was pleased to see that you are a well spoken young lady, but what I found most interesting is the fact that our stories are more similar than you would think. I too was enrolled in a small college, studying a subject I had no interest in, and generally floundering in every aspect of life due to the fact that I was miserable pursuing a life that was not what I really wanted. I made the same change, came home, joined the fire service, and the rest is history. It's a tough road but well worth the toil and labor. If I can ever be of assistance, shoot me an email. Keep your chin up, press on, and have a fulfilling career!
