Wow. Tough question today. I mean, I’m supposed to tell you how I came up with the name for my blog, when it was really merely the result of laziness. Or was it?
See, I like things that are complicated, unique, special in some way, so why would I name my blog something so bland and ordinary?
Examples of me being different:
1. I wake up at 4:46 every morning.
2. I threw my wife a surprise birthday party on her 34th birthday.
3. I shaved my head on the coldest day of the year once.
4. I made myself stop eating popcorn even though I loved it and there was no valid reason to do so.
5. I believe I can control my dreams. Well, maybe this one isn’t different, but people do look at me strangely when I say that.
Okay okay. You got me. I actually put a lot of thought into my blog title. Shhh. Don’t tell anyone. I wanted a title that said something about me without giving away the cow. No free milk here. I also thrive on irony so it definitely fit the mold there too. What’s more ironic than coming out and telling you this is all there is. That this is just my online journal and nothing more, when you know as well as I do that if it were merely a journal, why would I make it visible to you?
I had something to say, well, a lot of things, really, and I wanted to share them with you. Well, with whomever decided to read the words I wrote. And I wanted dialogue, a give and take between us. Again, far from the simple journal designation. What can I say? I expect a lot.
Lastly, I wanted my name in it, because, if you haven’t figured out by now, I get Sam I Am’ed a whole lot. Indeed, people would get me Green Eggs and Ham as a gag gift for my birthday every year. So, there you have it. My tongue in cheek homage to that classic tale, an embracing of sorts.
And so it began. And so it continues. And I would have it no other way. Welcome to Sam’s Online Journal!
