What's in a name?

Ok. Everyone else is doing these things, so I suppose I’ll join the crowd--what other thing can I do with my time? I mean really, its this or studying for my final and what kind of procrastinator would I be if I studied? So I created a blog

so if anyone is curious about the name of this blog, it can be blamed upon Mark, my landlord from the 'frontier.' Why does a landlord from a place I don't live anymore have any relation to my blog's name you might ask? well, it is sort of logical, in a way that only I could think. If I hadn't lived at the frontier, I wouldn’t have developed a strong dislike for Mark (I mean, who would like a landlord that blamed you for the room flooding because he never installed a sump pump?). And if I didn't have a strong dislike for Mark, I wouldn't have tried to screw him over by taking a refrigerator that was in the frontier when I moved in (nobody is really sure who it belongs to, only that it is not Mark's). This led to some heated discussions, and finally, Mark conceded and gave the refrigerator to me (he put masking tape with my name on the door).

Still you might wonder how this all relates. Well, as I was sitting here in my dining room trying to think of a name, I looked over at the refrigerator, and low & behold, the refrigerator is manufactured by Summit (http://www.summitcommercial.com/). So I had to incorporate the name Summit into the blog's name. I searched for other things around the room I could use (Oreo, Arizona, Riesen, Southern Comfort, Marlboro and D-Con to name a few) but nothing else worked, so I went with Journey to Life's Summit.

I didn't like journey, and thanks to the online thesaurus (www.bartleby.com), I came up with safari--I think safari sounds better.

SO...to make a long story short, my blog's alternative name is: "Synonym to Journey to Life's Refrigerator taken to spite Mark" --though that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Oh, what a start...
