Naming My Blog

I've wanted to start my own blog for ages. Part of the hesitation to do so has been because of time restrictions, over-extending myself, concern over topics, the thought that nobody will even read it, etc... Then I decided that it would be a good cathartic exercise to put my thoughts down on paper, so to speak.

My next speedbump was trying to come up with a name for my blog. Everything I tried was already taken. I knew I would have to come up with something "off the wall". After numerous attempts I finally came up with "Tower of Blogger" and it was available. I don't know how obvious it is but it is supposed to be a play on words for the "Tower of Babel" which of course is from the story in the book of Genesis in the Bible where mankind were building a tower to heaven to become equal to God. I'm not trying to build a blog tower that will reach up to cyber-heaven by any means. The reason I stuck with "Tower of Blogger" is because of the end result of God making the people speak in different languages which ultimately led to the end of the tower and their dispersal across the earth because of their confusion and inability to communicate.

That's where I come in. There are a lot of things I'm confused about. Maybe I can learn more from any feedback I may get. What better way to communicate my thoughts than through a blog? The older I get, the more I learn, and the more I learn, the more I know that I need to learn. So that's it. Here I go!
