tale a friend

hey, folks. how's your day so far? though, today wasn't especially good, actually life has been pretty good lately. my mood is pretty high and i am excited about many things. talking to God is really relieving. you don't trust me? then, find out by yourself ;)

as you've seen, i've changed my blog address. i was quite sure this was the first time i've changed the address. i've changed the title of this blog for a couple times, but the address was fixed. well, it wasn't as fixed as i thought, though.

a. haints.blogspot.com
yep, this was my first blog address and it stayed for the longest time so far. i picked this word 'haints', from a novel i was reading back then. i forgot the title of the novel, i even forgot the story in it. one thing for sure, there were a white man and indian tribes there. indian, as in native american, not the one with hinduism. and one of the indian language written there was 'haints'. it means 'friend'.
and when i made this blog, i thought what role this blog would play in my life. diary? life notes? joker? then i decided, this blog would be a friend. i wrote my thought just like if i were talking to a friend. i didn't have many friends back then, and 'haints' was doing a great job.
long after that, which was current, i searched the meaning of 'haints' in internet. what i found was far from what i expected. all referred that 'haints' means 'ghost', 'lost soul', 'haunting soul', 'spook'. there was also an explanation that 'haints' together with 'blue' referred to a color, blue mixed with green, so it would look like the ocean. further article explained that the color was called 'haints blue', because that was the color that would repel the 'haints' a.k.a the ghosts, because they were afraid of water and the color was like the color of water. other meaning i got was' 'evil bitch', 'mean person', 'a truly, scary, evil witch', 'a hateful bitch', or the longest one: 'a truly heinous she-devil so brutal that anachronistic and unusual colloquial slang is called for'.
those last definition took its toll on me, so i decided to change the address for good. at least, until i got the evident back, that 'haints' really means 'friend'. or maybe until i decided to be a truly evil, mean, hateful, bitchy she-devil for good, which i have no interest at all. for now.

b. titlinghead.blogspot.com
yeah, this was the second address. i liked it, although one friend commented how weird it sounds. i don't know, i like the way it sounds. i could imagine i tilt my head while writing. tilting head is like moving my brain to work or like trying to see from a different perspective, different angle.
i changed the address after i found out that there was a blog with the address titlingheads.wordpress.com.
the blog was written by an amazing person named fransesca or fran, how people usually called her . she was a breast cancer patient, who decided to write the blog to get a few things off her chest. the posts were mainly about her life and her friends (this was actually just  a conclusion by quick observe). the last post told the reader that she was died at april 8th, 2013. i haven't finished reading the blog, but i'm interested to do so. a few posts i've read were amazingly touching. she was able to stay positive during her weakness and courage people to do the same.
dear fran, i may not know who you are and how hard it was for you. i wish your family and friends the strength and all happiness so you could watch them from above with smile. congratulations on finishing this life with such great spirit and thank you for the lessons. may you rest in peace.

c. taleafriend.blogspot.com
yep, this is the one i still use until now. if you read it it could sound like 'tell a friend'. it suits the initial goal and meaning of this blog. all friends are welcomed to read this, because this is indeed the part of my life i would like share with friends.


those are my blog addresses so far. actually, the current address is still a bit awkward for me. i don't know if i felt that way just because i'm not used to it yet or because deep down i know it isn't the right fit. but for now, i'll give it a try. you never know unless you try it, right?

oh and one little thing. you know,how i used to end most (or at least some) of the posts? 'regards, ael'? i also thought to change it. and it definitely is the right fit.
for now ;)


always.
ael
