Food For Thought: The Cafeteria Chronicle

Blogger nerds unite!

As if recreating my blog wasn't enough for me to do, I was inspired by some of the collaborative blogs and the interesting discussions we've had in some posts, and have created brand new blog!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you

THE CAFETERIA CHRONICLE

Dum dum DUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

I've invited a few people in our social group who I thought might be interested in voicing their opinions and initiating some fun discussions to join. So far Erika, Judge, Jared, Shem and I are listed as contributors and Chris will officially be registered soon.

I was worried that my idea wouldn't get any support. Boy was I wrong! Within the first 24 hours, everyone I've invited, save one person, has accepted. Already I have posted twice, Jared once, and Shem (Shem, who I thought would be above blogging) posted a poem.

Right now, I'm kind of functioning as editor and Jared has been working with me, chipping with some fun ideas and he did some blog tweaking on his end. I am extremely excited about the group of people I have to work with.

Chris is one of the wittiest people I know with a wonderfully cynical humor who knows alot about current events and star wars movies. He is more familiar with politics than any of us do, has an endless stock of good movie quotes and does great impressions with his voice.

Erika is an English Major very much involved with theatre. She is great at writing and is a woman with depth and intellect. Opiniated and strong willed, she is also very talented in photography. She knows how to work a Mac and can put together a great montage in less than an hour.

Jared is extremely multi-talented. He's a techy who knows more about computers than I do (it is his major after all), the "funny guy" in our social group with lots of fun ideas when it comes to web publishing. Also a great hook-up for good music and a great actor.

Judge is a deep thinker, very much accustomed to pondering the larger issues. (He was talking about doing a first post discussing stem-cell research) He is a philosopher, a seeker of world peace and an aspiring criminal law attorney who happens to take nice pictures. Also knows how to dance to swing and latino music.

Shem self-titled poet, roachslayer and first-class toast burner is wonderfully creative and fiercely protects his stance in many issues (he has a portable soap-box). He wrote, directed, filmed and edited the movie "The Nobody" starring Jared which was a huge hit. He writes songs and poetry, sings, plays guitar and acts. He has the heart of many women - especially my roommate's.

And then there's me, the relationship expert who really can talk and write ALOT and slaves for a blog - for fun!

Really, there couldn't be a better group of people put together for this. I mean, just look at them:

There may be some of you who after reading what we've published who want to be a part of it. I want to make sure everyone feels included, so just ask. Really, though, what we need aren't more writers, but more readers who are willing to comment and discuss the topics and issues we address. These topics may include politics. relationships, religion, ideals, TV show reviews, movies, 80s fashion, what the caf was serving that evening, the latest Strong Bad email... anything, really. It's our publication - we'll put in whatever we feel like.

We've already started some discussions so come join us, we'd love to hear what you think. Currently, the issues are geared more towards BYUH students, but as soon as everyone else starts posting, we may talk about all sorts of other things that involve the outside world as well. There will be something for everyone. Once we get rolling, I'm going to launch a publicity campaign or something and see if we can get the school newspaper to endorse us. I'm dreaming up so BIG things here. You can help us by building up our reader base.

Ok, enough said. Make sure you visit us at The Cafeteria Chronicle and tell all your friends about us! You will be enriched.
