Family Meeting

Hey guys. Thanks for coming. How are you? Good? Not so good? I hope it's good. I'm doing pretty well myself. Lots to look forward to this summer. Going to see some cool concerts. Les Fat Jones are playing next week. Some exciting trips in the near future. All in all, I can't complain. Well, I can, and I will, but I'm gonna have to get creative about it.
Anyway, I just wanted to have a friendly chat. First, I'd like to thank you all for coming. I've been back at this whole blog thing for a few months now, and I'm psyched that you keep showing up. With all the porn and kitten videos (I really hope you're keeping them separate!) I know your time is valuable. It's gratifying that my semi-coherent musings show up on your radar at all.
But as Paul Krugman has taught us, growth is important. I want to take this Salient Green to the next level. I don't know what the next level is, but hopefully it has enough coins and mushrooms to get us through. What I'm asking is if there's a post you particularly like, please share it. (Not this one. This one's kind of boring.) Put it on Facebook, tweet it, send it to your grandma or whoever you think might be slightly interested in the life and times of an aging musician-cum-teacher ex-pat in Barcelona. (A small target audience, I'm sure.)
Also, I'd like this to become less of a rant and more of a conversation. So I guess, uh, what do you want to talk about? My area of expertise is:
a. Grammar
b. Me
That doesn't mean I can't discuss other stuff too. Making bold declarations on subjects I read about once somewhere is one of my talents. So feel free to bring up whatever. You can comment. I believe there's a section for that. If you have something to share with me, you can send it to salient.green1@gmail.com and I can make uninformed pronouncements on the things you hold dear. Doesn't that sound like fun?
I'm also toying with the idea of some structure, in the form of regular features. Right now, this is kind of like a journal with all the good bits cut out. (I'm not sharing the good bits. Sorry.) I am thinking of having weekly posts. Like, for example, a roundup of photos. Barcelona provides plenty of visual fodder for my iPhone. Think of it as Instagram with more snark. (I'm also on Instagram @ noahdjgreen). The Rock Reports will come as I rock. Not regularly enough for a weekly post, which probably means I'm not rocking enough. Anything else? Surveys? Contests? Dating advice?
So there you have it. It's internet 2.0. (Isn't it time for an update yet?) Jump in. Choose life. Help me help you. Get busy blogging or get busy dying. I'll show myself out now.

UPDATE: Being the internet genius I am, i mis-wrote the email address. It's salient.green1@gmail.com
