In the eyes of the beholder, the name of something has major significance. For example, whenever one hears a name that (for whatever reason) is more commonly used as a female name, it is immediately assumed that the person the name belongs to is a Female. Even if in fact the person was a male, because of what we have already experienced when it comes to that specific name, we will in an instant have a pre-conceived thought of how a person with that name should look and sound, where they grew up, and even what race they are.
As a result, I included both time and thought when selecting the name of my weblog. After thinking over a period of time, I chose to name my Weblog MyPlace. I selected this name because through this Weblog, I will not only invite others to read my opinions and beliefs on many different topics, but I will also etch myself a place in everyone’s heart and mind. I will use MyPlace to communicate to both my College Composition Class (soon to be over) and to the world who is it that I am. Through interesting and thought provoking topics MyPlace will challenge every reader to go deeper than what is on the surface of things, to look beyond what is said, to see life through a different pair of lens, and smile while they are doing it.
In conclusion, I look forward to a semester full of sharing my opinions and reading the thoughts of others. Through this awesome creation known as the weblog, we can communicate what we do, what we think, how we behave, and even who we are. It allows us to reveal ourselves to others, instead of it leaving open to another person’s imagination. With all of that said…..Come on over to MyPlace!
