I kicked the google ads to the curb. They didn't contribute much to the site other than a little running joke*.
When I started this site, I thought it would be a place to do a little philosophy, and to keep in touch with family and friends. I have found myself reluctant to post anything seriously philosophical, mostly because it takes so much work. Also, there are plenty of good sites and discussion forums out there already.** Most of my family and friends have strictly avoided this blog.***
So the blog has not fulfilled its intended purposes. Nevertheless it has been fruitful. I have had the pleasure of "meeting" and interacting with some insightful and interesting and wonderful people. I have enjoyed taking the time to do a little creative writing, which is good for me.
The time has come for me to re-evaluate this endeavor. I would like to get some feedback because I enjoy writing for an audience.
The feedback I would like is in the following form. I would like everyone to suggest a new title for the blog. Titles should have the word "snaars" in them****. In a few sentences, explain and defend your suggestion. Why should I use your title?
The "winner" will get the satisfaction of seeing the name he or she chose adorning the top left-hand corner of the page whenever s/he visits!
* I'm so sorry, you pitiful simple-minded manic zombie clicking robot consumerist insomniac shop-a-holic. I'm closing up shop. Go get your google ad candy somewhere else! You disgust me.
** And these are generally eclipsed by the huge number of bad ones.
*** My Mom posted once. My wife has posted maybe three times. Arglor has posted, but he has his own blog, which I vist frequently. I think that's been it.
**** In a sense befitting the awe, veneration and sheer wonderment engendered by that name.

How about "The Magnificent Snaars"?
I think this would be such a great title, because you are magnificent. And everything you write is magnificent, too.
Ha, ha. It's true, I am magnificent! But tell me, oh anonymous person ... what is it about me or my writing that leads you to understand this? Please be specific. If you are obsequious enough, I just might use that title of yours.
Gee, maybe it's the way you brighten my day and elevate me out of my hum-drum everyday existence, into a magical world of breathtaking beauty, complexity, and snaars.
I wish you would write more often, but I don't know if i could bear it.
Anonymous, if I didn't know it was true, I would almost be embarassed.
Are there any other great ideas out there, or will it be "The Magnificent Snaars" for the new title?
Hi, it's me; I don't remember my passcode so I am signing in as anonymous.
My suggestion is coneited snaars.
I am sure you will remember why, haha.
I love you,
Zippi
It's me again.
How about Chippy snaars.
I have no idea what my username and password is (probably some variation on hrslvrfat), so I too am signed in as anonymous.
Don't pick a name yet. I'm good at this. I'll get back to you with my entry.
Ron. (Is there a prize?)
Alliteration always adds some pizzazz. I was going to suggest, "Soar with Snaars", but then something even more alliterative occurred to me: "Snore with Snaars".
Hmmm. I guess I'll give it some more thought.
Q
i say you name it
"through the third wall, with snaars"
only because you constantly do it on your site... at least i think its call the third wall.comic book and fiction writers use this phrase to talk about breaking the reality of the work. One of the key functions of doing this is addressing the audience within the work itself. You constantly address your audience in a consistent manner, ergo you are constantly breaking the third wall and destroying the "world" of your blog. Then again, one could argue that the "world" of your blog includes the world in which we all exist.
Michelle, you astound me.
Ron, I am very intereseted in hearing what you come up with. I love the title of your blog.
Mary, (and everyone else who needs more time) don't hurry. I plan to milk this for a while.
Q, very clever.
Arglor, thank you. That's the coolest suggestion so far.
By the way, don't limit yourselves to just one suggestion. You can think up as many or as few as you like.
Okay, here goes (don't get you hopes up):
My first (and weakest) canditate:
"Omega Snaars Prime: More Than Meets the Eye." (substitute any variation of Mega-Optimus-Supreme-whatever).
Yeah, yeah. It sucks. If you don't use it, I may modify it and use it elsewhere. But at least you see where I'm coming from.
Next up for consideration is "Snaar Wars". (or some variation upon that theme). The cool thing is that every entry can be a new episode. I can see it now:
Snaar Wars: Episode III Revenge of The Simcha
Problem is that it's technically not incorporating the whole name "Snaars". What a nuisance, anyway you can change that?
And finally, the one I would actually go with:
"Snaars-issistic Sermons"
Or just simply:
"Snaarsissism"
A bit unweildy, but I like the play on words.
I'll add more later if I think of any more.
Ron (HLF)
Ron,
I love your suggestions, esp. Snaarsissism. LMBO.
I like the sound of Snaarsimus Prime. i could have fun with that.
Thanks, I'll add these to the list.
Mike
