Profound is in the Eye of the Beholder

Okay, so I was merely visiting my cousin's new blog and I decided to post a friendly greeting...
Who knew that you cannot post without an account, and creation of said account necessitated creation of an actual blog, which necessitated the making of all kinds of incredibly important (possibly life changing--let's face it, Prince Charming could be reading this right now and deciding to just keep right on riding due to the fact that my sense of irony is way off to his way of thinking) decisions about usernames, blog titles, screen names and so much more...

My name is VegasBabe, and I am a commitmentphobe. Indescribable pressure over these decisions nearly sent me into an emotional tailspin, because, let's face it, it is by these first impressions that we all judge and are judged. The title IS the most important part of the book.

Case in point... What if War and Peace had been named...
Well, I do not know, because (confession time) I have never actually read the darn book, so the only alternate title I can imagine is possibly...
War, huh, What is it Good For?

Surely, the world would be a completely different place if a). that wonderful piece of literature had been titled ANYTHING else or b). if people actually read it (my cousin tells her blog readers that she is close to this lofty goal, but I fear it is a peak few of our generation have conquered).

Anyway, I took some deep breaths, counted to 25 and convinced myself that it ought not try to impress the world with a profound web address. Profound is, after all, in the eye of the beholder (some people actually find Britney Spears (hate myself for using her name here) enlightening, right?). If I got too cute with my title, most people probably wouldn't get it, or won't GET me and think it was stupid (which it probably would be), so... Behold this little story any which way you please, but please don't be hold'n me to blame for this dumb joke!

I hope Prince Charming lists "over-thinking it" among his turn-ons!

Happy Sunday!
