i m N s h o ?!?
(for those of you wondering, that’s “in my NOT so humble opinion”)
See, when I originally set up my blog and had to name it, Ranting & Raving was the first thing that came to mind, so I went with that, assuming I’d change it later. (Well, actually I thought of Brain Droppings, then realized that was the name of a George Carlin book and decided to skip that idea.)
It’s been a few months and nothing’s really struck me, so I haven’t changed the name… until I noticed the other day that there’s another blog on Blogger that’s called Ranting & Raving (see, there’s a section on the Blogger homepage that lists recently updated blogs and I saw R&R listed and knew I hadn’t posted recently). Well, now I knew someone else was using my blog title, so I had to change it. (Let’s face it, blogging’s a vanity thing—wouldn’t do to have someone else using the same title now, would it?)
I’d debated IMHO, since that’s Internet geek for “in my humble opinion” but I figured someone else was already using that one (I was right, too!). And then I remember IMNSHO! Because, really (as the first line of my blog informs everyone), if there’s anything I’m not humble about, it’s my opinions! (I’m not entirely sold on imnsho either—it’s got that Internet geek thing too, but without the recognizability of IMHO it’s geeky without any “cool” cachet.)
Just thought I’d share that with you all.
