What's in a name?

That was written by William Shakespeare a long long time ago.  I can't take the credit for that.  Besides, he was a guy with much more hair than I have and even though he could have done something creative with it he didn't and now he just looks silly.  Also, have you seen the way he dressed?  I'm sorry to have to point this out but fashion is like history.  It repeats itself.  But nobody in any century since have gone to the mall or the opera wearing bubble shorts and tights.  Maybe, just maybe, he didn't want people to take him seriously.  Maybe Shakespeare was a comedian inside and he was so ahead of his time that the general population of his day didn't understand humor just yet.  I mean, let's face it, many a "scholar" has tried to put their "intellectual" spin on how to decipher the meaning of "To be or not to be.  That is the question."   Maybe Willie just threw that in there for the fun of it.  Maybe he is laughing loudly in heaven every time someone tries to attach a noble meaning to that phrase.  After all, IF I were considered to be a great writer and somewhere in one of my writings I wrote something like, "The blue sky fell to the ground"  I'm sure some brainiac of the literary world would tell you that what that means a poetic way of describing the horizon.  But really the only reason I would put it in there is for the fun of watching people trying to rationalize my way writing.  Here's a tip.  My mind is irrational in itself.  Most of my thoughts are for the fun of it.  If you can't understand that, you'll never understand why you and I will go round and round by Laura's house.

How did I get off on that?  Wow! Keep up with me here.  All that was said so that I may point out one very important new thing to my blog.  THE NAME HAS CHANGED!!  I felt like the original title for this blog was borderline stupid and needed to be change.  So, if you'll look up towards the top, (No! Not the ceiling! The top of this page.) you will see that the name is now Consider This...Imagine That!!  I feel this new title is more appropriate for the content of this blog and best of all, it's MINE!!  IT'S ALL MINE!!! 

So, let me know if you like the new name.  Also, if you have a comment about William Shakespeare or anything on any of my blogs, please write your comment in the Comment section which is designated by the very small font directly under each blog posting.  I apologize for it being difficult to locate. If I could make it more visible I would.  Something like, LEAVE COMMENTS HERE!!, would have been more helpful.  So, until I find a way to change that, please look closely for the Comments section and leave a comment.  

Thanks for stopping by!
