A Name. Is that you Winston? Conan the Detective.

A Possession to Name. The book was talking about the travelers coming upon the opening meadow. Which is called a Ashley. Today Ashley is the name of a Guy or Girl. The Pirate Captain in Rafael Sabatini Novel, named his ship after the woman he admired. What is in a name and what occurs inside of us to be able to name? I can only assume a ownership must first take place so that a instances can be named. I don't mean to say that a child is named from a instance, although I have known a Cypress and a Juniper who were named from their Fathers view of trees out the hospital window. What do we have to own before we can than name? For everyone has a inspiration of a calling something by a name, but never do we reflect on what posses that moment in which the name did not exist in our brains and the instant it now does. What inspiration were you showering yourself under when you gave the name that can be justified by the phrase “It just felt right.”

I am now reading Winston Churchills book the Crossing. I have my suspicions about the author being the Winston that I presumed it to be. Still the book is inspiring. A American tale about a young boy who lives alone with his Father in the back country in Kentucky. Inside the first chapter the boy tells about how his father boarded a passing traveler. The man asked for a place to sleep. That night you find out that this man is Daniel Boone. The book makes you feel like you are sitting in the presences of absolute greatness. As though you have just picked up a hitchhiker to find out that it is Christopher Walken and you are now driving him to the next closest town and requested to join him for dinner. The story is a flirtation with the possibility of our personal brushes with greatness. What could happen to you if you were drawn close enough to such a spark. 


I was surfing Youtube last night. I was following a odd lead of a movie that I have never heard of. In a list of favorite Movies the title, “Detective Conan” appeared. I was super curious about the title since my mind immediately picture “UHF'S” Conan the Librarian character. It is a Anime about a small little boy detective that wears a big bow-tie. The story concept was true to being unique, but I felt as though I could not award this movie my full two hours of attention. In my mind I said, “hmm this is something I would have totally loved and enjoyed five years ago.” No insult to the great creation of this story, I just personally now know that my time is limited on this earth. And until I magically get my wisdom teeth removed again and have a ample excuse to sit on a couch watch hours upon hours of Anime I will not be viewing, “Detective Conan”.
