A Minor Update

This is more like an extension of a previous post rather than a proper post in itself, but the thought struck me while I was attempting to play my guitar today, so here we are.

This is Chord Overstreet:

And so is this:

This is him when he was little:

I love whoever put up this picture.

So if I had to make a graphic representation of a kid version of him, it would be this:

I'm afraid you won't get it unless you know something about guitar chords. To people who do get it, I can only hope you find it as amusing as I did (though I doubt you will). Well, I tried.

What's in a Name? (Part 2)

I started blogging on my birthday a long, long time ago, but as is the case with anything I'm involved in, things got a little befuddled (/befuddling? See what I mean?) Anyway, here's what I wanted to announce: this blog is exactly three years old today! Good thing too, or I'd have put off this post until goodness knows when.

That being said, let the name-calling continue!

Funny, I don't remember Bill Gates having a different background colour. Oh well.

Here's part one, if you missed it.

To everyone who's been reading my blog, thankee! May you be forever blessed with perfect coffee, rain, music, and whatever it is that you people like.

What's in a Name? (Part 1)

Sure, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. But people really do need to think about the effect a name can have on their kids. Unless you completely lack imagination, every name creates a certain mental image of the person even before you meet him/her, and thinking about how people might react to your name can lead to great anxiety. At least that's what Shel Silverstein, and later Johnny Cash, felt.

Now there are many names that make me visualize other things before I think of the actual person. I've divided the post into (at least) two parts because there are many more pictures I haven't drawn yet. The names chosen are ones in which both the first name and the surname work together to create a comprehensive image.

That's it for now. I've thought of a few more, but let me know if you have any suggestions. And oh, no rapper names. If I start on those, that's all I'll be doing.

Update: Here's Part 2
