The name? 

small fry: insignificant people or things

I’ve always been about the underdog. The underrated. The underappreciated.  Some people have attributed this to a “hipster mentality” – always claiming to have liked things first or dismissing things/people once they become too “cool” or “overhyped.” And though I might be guilty of such thinking, I’d like to believe that it’s more about a growing, underlying focus in my life to root and advocate for those that need and/or deserve a voice.

Also, I think its a continual reminder for humility (something I definitely need more of). We are all small fries.

But why soggy?

Soggy fries are the best. They’re delicious, esp. those of the Mcdonald/Carls Jr variety. After numerous polls & convos, I’ve realized that I’m in the minority in this opinion. So I held on to this high & mighty position that soggy fry lovers were unique, elite beings amongst the masses of crunchy fry lovers. (Yes, a completely deluded and unsubstantiated view, but who can stop me.)

No, but why another blog?

I probably have a handful of blogs (both private/public), but I decided I needed to start afresh for this new chapter in my life: a chapter of adulthood. I know that I technically became an adult over 10 years ago, but what can I say? I’ve always been a little behind (got my drivers license at age 18, purchased my first bed at 27, rode my first bike two years ago) and like so many others in my generation, I’ll embarrassingly  admit I’ve been stuck in a horribly delayed adolescence.  Also, actively writing to a small audience (might even be an audience of one) will keep me somewhat accountable for my writing, my life and its meanderings.

So, here goes it.
