Names, they say a lot. Maybe too much.
Imagine you are set up on a blind date, what's your first question to the person? You ask what their name is. Often times you never ask whether or not the person is good looking. You can tell that from the name. Would you go on a blind date with a Gertrude? No. How about a Rebecca? Most likely.
Some names are just hotter than others. The best way to ensure your child is good looking is giving them a good name.
There is this girl in one of my classes. I noticed her one the first day of class. She was the kind of girl that I would like to date. Then I found out her name was Tammy. Tammy? What is that?
I was immediately turned off. It was weird. I had gone from complete infatuation. Asking this girl on a date had crossed my mind. Now I just saw her as a cute girl, an average one. I would no longer go out of my way to ask this girl out. If it happened, it happened, but I would not put forth the effort. All of this because I found out her name was Tammy.
Maybe if her name would have been Brittany, Abby or Sarah things would have been different.
It doesn't end there though.
Yesterday I found out some more information on her name. I found out how she spelled it. It's not Tammy, it's Tami. It doesn't make sense at all, but I fell in love. The name was the same, but the spelling completely changed my attitude towards this girl.
I'm more attracted to her now that I know her name is Tami then I was when I didn't know her name.
I don't get it. But I love this girl now.

Remember that song "Steal My Kisses" by Ben Harper? Call me crazy, but I don't think Ben had me stealing kisses from Justin in mind when he wrote the song.
A lot of you have probably heard by now, or saw, I was on the kiss cam last night along with Justin.
We were sitting in the first row. We had some third row seats, but when we were told the band wasn't going to be there and we could sit there, we made the move. Moving was a tough decision though. We didn't make up our minds easily. It was a good move in the end. In hindsight we spent to much time contemplating the move.
I took the end of the row, I like the end. Justin sat next to me.
This is where Loni comes in. She sat next to Justin.
The second media timeout of the half rolled around. That time out means one thing, kiss cam. (Although it used to be the first media timeout. I don't understand the change, but it was made.)
Here came the camera guy. Right in front of Justin and Loni. When I say right in front, I mean right in front. The camera was literally a foot away from their faces. It was awkward. It's one thing to have the camera zoomed in on you when you are a few rows back, but when it's right in front of your face it makes the pressure to perform immense.
I wasn't even on camera, but it was so close to me that I felt awkward. I should have been on camera. It has always been my dream to be on the kiss cam. I was so close. And now Justing would be taking my kiss cam glory. I couldn't let that happen.
I readied myself, the camera still uncomfortably too close. I looked up at the screen. As soon as Justin and Loni were on it... Bam! I made my move. Justin didn't even see it coming. I leaned over and stole his kiss.
I seized the day. Opportunities like that don't come around often, opportunities to become great. I saw it and I took. I became great for that brief moment. I left Justing laying on the ground in heap as I climbed the mountain of greatness and stole his kiss.
Take that Justin.
