Where is my mind?

Where is my mind? Sometimes I don't know (quite too many times, actually)! Should I try and find out?!

It Starts!!!

Creating a blog is not an easy process! Mainly because you have to decide what to name it! It's as tough a decision as when you have to name your baby (not that I've already done it, but
still...)!

That's how it starts! And my process was definitely not easy...

I wanted a name that would say something about me, but also that would give me enough space to write whatever I felt like writing...

I'll give you some examples of names that occurred to me:

"Whatever you say I am, that's what I'm not" - inspired by the Arctic Monkeys. I liked it a lot, but still, I would feel like going against virtually everybody, and that didn't please me...

"The grass is always greener on the other side..." - inspired on a well known saying and a song by Travis. I also liked it, but then I would be saying that I'm never happy with anything... and that's not true! Let's try something else...

"This is what I've learned so far..." - inspired by the lyrics of a Sarah Bettens song called "Grey". I would feel like a teacher or someone really old talking about past experiences... Not what I was looking for...

"This is my truth, tell me yours" - inspired by the Manic Street Preachers. Also like it, but would be sort of asking for feedback... Not yet, not yet...

"Mad World" - Inspired by a Gary Jules' song, from the OST of Donnie Darko. Lots of good reasons to use this one! But I didn't feel like this was the one... but still, definitely in the Top3!

"Why does it always rain on me?" - again inspired by Travis (and I don't like them all that much...)! Too pessimistic...

"Know thyself" - inspired in the ancient greek. Liked it... but sounded too old... :P

"Present is just the future turning into the past" - don't know where this one came from... Didn't feel like it said anything about me!

And then I thought...
"Where is my mind?" - inspired in a song by Pixies (or in any other version, like the Placebo one, pretty good...). I felt this was the one. So many times I feel out of my mind, out there, somewhere... and I truly ask myself... WHERE IS MY MIND? Well, this says a lot about me, and it also allows me to write anything... whatever comes to my mind! :P JUST PERFECT! ;)

This is the beginning...

Yeah!!!
All those are options you SHOULD consider while trying to name your baby...
"Present is just the future turning into the past" come back here and clean your room, mister.

Hey hey hey... I didn't say the names had something to do with babies... JUST THE PROCESS!!!
Still, nice suggestion! Will be taken into account at the time of birth...
