There can only be one.

When I made this blog, I did it out of boredom and because I thought it would be fun. Surprise, surprise, all of that jazz is true. But do you know what happens when I don’t take things seriously at first? I name things after cartoons.

So here I am, enjoying the blogosphere, as a Super Saiyan.

Normally, I think this is the kind of name people dream of. To be super saiyans, I mean. But in my case, I don’t want my entire theme to be based on one of my cartoon loves. I have a lot of cartoon loves. And I have commitment issues. So sticking to something that only has context with one thing has started to really bother me. No matter how awesome the pun is.

That brings me to now, where I have made the decision to try and create a more generalized blog name. This is no easy task. I had to prepare myself for this, and brace myself against the harsh winds of treacherous creativity. Leap onto the great rock of change and assert my dominance. The destiny of this blog awaits my decision, I plan to take this feat full on.

I guess I’ve never drawn myself with glasses, but I do have them, they’re blue.

The problem with getting into the blogging game now, in 2013, is that people have already selected all the cool names. They had years and years to brainstorm and call dibs on high-quality verbiage. So, they had the advantage. I have to come up with something even MORE creative than those who came before me. Since I’m clearly not the best at naming things, I decided to ask my more creative friends for suggestions. But their suggestions were more on the inappropriate side. I think I talked the most about this to Naty Cakes, where we devised a list of possibilities; yet none immediately grabbed me as “the one”. Throughout our brainstorming session, there was one word that kept popping up…

This conversation actually took place. I love Naty Cakes <3

As cute as the word poop is, I will not be incorporating it into my blog name. So I guess that limits the pool of possibilities.

I went over a few options some more…and decided that I was undecided. There just didn’t seem to be one that jumped off the page at me. Naty Cakes told me sleep on it, marinate in it, meditate about it and that eventually the right name would come to me.

But I am impatient, and when I think of marinating in things I get hungry.

So after I ate, I had to face the truth…This name dilemma was not getting any closer to a resolution.

I kinda got discouraged that I would even be able to find a name that adequately described me and my blog of randomness. I pondered how the greats did it. How did George Orwell come up with 1984 or Animal Farm? How did Kurt Vonnegut conjure up Slaughterhouse Five? Hell, Steven King just came out with Doctor Sleep – which sounds DOCTOR AWESOME! How did Chuck Palahniuk come up with Fight Club or Lullaby or Choke or Invisible Monsters – damn it, Palahniuk came up with some bad ass titles. I need whatever creative juices he’s drinking…

No one beats George R. R. Martin – A Song of Ice and Fire, how epic is that? Oh, wait for it: Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Dance with Dragons, A Storm of Swords!!! (Thank you Kim)

Of course, those are all far more serious in tone than my blog.

Maybe my inspiration should be more lax.  Like Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard’s Sh*t Girls Say or Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s  Guide to the Galaxy – I like that title. Even better, John Dies at the End – what a bad ass title, pure genius on the part of Jason Pargin.

Or maybe blogs shouldn’t be named like books. I mean some blogs are like books, they stick to one subject or genre. Others are all over the place. Exhibit A, my blog.

Marry, of Viver Para Contar, wrote a great post about what her blog name means and how personal it is.  Why can’t I have that? Why can’t my blog name be all cool and symbolic?

Therefore, as a last ditch effort to kick start my brainstorming, I am going to just list a bunch of words that I like.

• Robots.
• Alien robots.
• Super Heroes.
• Comedy
• Dinosaurs
• Food
• Squats
• MS Paint
• Medicine
• Museums
• Art
• Gymnastics
• Guild
• War(s)
• Space
• Galaxies
• Bears
• Sharks
• Radiohead

So…that list looks like the the tumblr of a 16 year old hipster in 2008. FUCK. WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS?

I hate everything.

Maybe I’ll have better luck with adjectives.

TELL ME, OH GREAT AND POWERFUL READERS, TELL ME HOW YOU COME UP WITH NAMES???

I messed up, big time.

Something terrible happened to me this morning, and it made me realize that I’m going about some things the wrong way.

This blog is one of them.

David Perez

I just found this artist named David Perez, and I like his stuff.

This is him:

These pictures are pulled off of his tumblr btw…I can’t believe I was even on tumblr again. I blame Svemmys.

Perez is an artist from Bogota, Colombia. And that’s about all that I know about him, other than the fact that I have gone through every one of his pictures. Here is his main site. Here is his tumblr. Go crazy.

Galaxy Gear – apparently this is a thing now

So I was already way behind by never having owned a smart phone, but if Samsung’s new Galaxy Gear Smartwatch becomes common place then I have to give up on keeping up with technology…cause seriously? Smart watches???  Jesus. I can’t get over people who own televisions in their bathrooms, NOW THIS?

Apparently this has been a thing though… a couple of these fancy watch machines have been out, but of course no one tells me anything. Here’s three, with a comparison, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal:

For $299 you can have your very own galaxy space technology smarty pants wrist device! Apparently its the first one in color and comes with up to 70 pre-loaded apps (gat damn), not to mention a fucking camera with voice controls. Apple is suppose to come out with something as well…I’m picturing something along the lines of a ipod nano watch.

I got to be honest, bro, the term “galaxy gear” is hella cool sounding. Even though in my head, that’s not what I would expect when I hear those two words together…the first thing that comes to mind for me is:

In my head I’m visualizing LA gears that have a hipster-like tumblr space-themed print; but this is an incorrect line of thinking.

It’s for sure a watch. Regardless, galaxy gear is a cool name. If someone came up to me and was like, “ey grl, you want some galaxy gear?” Even without knowing what the hell they were talking about, I would be like “CHEA BRO! OBVI! MY TUMBLR BACKGROUND IS THE MESSIER 86 CLUSTER, I’M ALL ABOUT THE GALAXIES BRO!”

This gets me excited for REAL MUHFUHKIN SMART WATCHES!!! “Super Saiyan M, what are you talking about?” I hear you say, well, I’ll tell you.

Although fancy educated wrist jewelry seems like the ultimate accessory, I will never be impressed until it can summon a MECHA GUNDAM!!! Think about it, all the cool watches do that shit! Take for example:
