Me and Salt

I've done it. The proverbial hymen has officially been broken. I decided to take the leap. I started a blog. Nobody's ever going to read it or anything, I know. But the thing is... even if it is just for bangers, everybody's doing it. There's a lot of guys doing it.

I was going to start off with a word or two about me. After all, this is my blog. I'm the reason you're here. Then I thought it might be important to throw in a word or two about salt. Since both of these things are of utmost importance, (especially to me,) I decided to combine them both in my very first blog post.

I'm not going to go the usual "I'm a husband, father, brother, son, real estate appraiser, former disco queen, or, whatever" route that some people tend to take. I may be some of those things, but that's not typically what I want to talk (or should that be "type"?) about. I'll also bet that's probably not what anyone would want to hear ("read"?). Although in the future I may mention a wife, son, Land Rover with a leaky sunroof, or Siberian Husky that likes to attack the guy who mows my yard, that's not really what this blog is about. It's about the things that I notice and pay attention to, day in and day out. Some of those things may be of major significance, while some will be utterly small. You see, what I am is an observer. I notice things. I'm sure most people observe the stuff around them, but I tend to notice the smallest of details. The minutiae.

As for the salt, I love it on some fries. I'll put it on a cheeseburger. I've got a good friend who never adds it to anything. Ever. My employer, on the other hand, regularly puts it on pizza. (I've never tried it, but it sounds pretty gross.) Whatever your take may be on salt and the applications thereof, I do recommend a grain or three with anything I say. I take myself seriously, but not seriously enough to think it's my way or the highway, as Dalton would say. (Does Dalton have a last name? They never mention it.) Along this journey, I'll try to infuse a little humor, insight, and knowledge, but I don't guarantee any of it. That is a guarantee. I'll attempt to update as regularly as possible, but I'm sure you've read stuff like that before. I'm also sure this li'l blog will be as random and scattered as my thoughts at any given time. As you'll notice over time, that's pretty friggin' scattered.
