Introduction to the Global Minority

Today is the day I go public. My prerequisite of 30 posts is fulfilled with this entry, and I have little reason to hide THR from the rest of the world any longer. Likewise, the world has little reason to read THR. Without inspiration to do more than view the latest entry - this - they'll connect with nothing on a base level and move on to the myriad of important tasks they need to accomplish.

Blogs are like seeds on an "everything" bagel. Those are covered in salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion seeds, and whatever else the baker happens to have handy. Too much of any one flavor and it loses its everythingness in favor of the individual seed. Importantly, when tracking a daily diet, a single bagel counts as four pieces of toast. (Plus, if I want salt, I'll opt for a soft pretzel.)

Assuming at least one person will click the link to take them to this page, I'll advertise the following: The Hypocrite's Refuge has entries about guns and watermelons, a variety of writer's exercises and thoughts, some personal insights, an impersonal outsight or two, a few new words' origins, and an insatiable hunger for tapioca pudding. After all, blogs are reflections of our own personalities.

Of course, if you start this in the future - which you can't, because when you start this is technically now, and that now is technically already the past, because now is so instantaneous it hardly exists, so living in the now is rendered impossible, and what will be the purpose of determining the proper verb tense when time was an illusion? Anyway, if you didn't happen to start reading THR with this entry, then skip to a better one. I recommend the funny ones.
