Toast

I saw this statement on an Internet message board:

I normally don’t read blogs. I am not interested in what a person thinks of toast.

I don’t normally read blogs, either. It’s not that I’m not interested in what other people have to say on random subjects, it’s more that I just don’t have time. I barely have time to write my own daily blog. But I’ve looked around at some blogs.

Most blogs I’ve found that seem like they might be interesting enough to check more than once, are updated only rarely, if at all. I’ve found lots of blogs that have less than 20 entries. I’ve found blogs that have over 100 entries, but then never got updated after two, three, six years ago.

I’ve posted to this blog every day for almost a year now. I’ve only missed maybe 10 days — due to technical restrictions, not because I didn’t want to post or didn’t feel like posting or didn’t have anything interesting to write. And there have been several days that I’ve posted more than entry. As of today, I’ve made right around 400 posts to this site in 10 months.

Granted, most of the posts are either on mundane and lame topics, or are on topics many people aren’t interested in. I don’t post on politics — which I know is pretty much the whole purpose of blogs today — and I’m not especially trying to entertain anyone (other than me). This is mostly just an regular exercise for me to keep my writing brain cells in toned shape.

As for toast: I don’t have toast very often. When I do have toast, I like butter and strawberry jelly/jam on it. There’s one toast treat that I haven’t had in many years, something my step-dad taught me: toast with cheese and mayonnaise. You put a slice of bread on the cooking sheet, lay a slice of cheese (cheddar or American) on it, and heat it. Pull it out of the oven, slap on some mayonnaise, and eat it. Mmm. I need to do this again sometime soon.

Pathetic joke for the topic:
Q: What’s bread?
A: Raw toast.
