What's in a name?

Well there's not much to say in my end. I did my chores around my room and well, chores in the kitchen...so not much new there. Be warned, my life will turn boring very soon, since I won't be going out much during week or so until the weekend. I would like to go out and change that, but I don't like hanging out by myself, so yeah. Anyways, we'll see what happens right?

Learning to Fly

I never explained my nickname from the internet, heck no one has ever asked me where I got it from. I'm guessing that's why I just never felt the need to explain it, but since I'm sure there is a quiet audience reading my blogs, aka people who don't post comments and the alike, I guess I can explain my nickname. On to the explaining shall we?

I never really had a nickname before this one. Sure, people know me by a short specific name, but that's outside the internet world and I'm not talking about that. Where did I get this nickname? Why this one? Why not a shorter one or just something different? Well, a friend of mine, who is no longer a friend of mine in these days, introduced me to Pink Floyd the band. I got to hear many of their songs and started to like them a lot, since I can relate to their lyrics. Once I hit "Learning to Fly" and listened carefully to the words, I came to realize I really relate to this particular song. I've also seen the music video to the song and well, fell in love with it as well. 

At first when I saw it, I was just at odds with it since it didn't fit well with the lyrics and what they said. Then with time it sunk in more and more. I really like it to the point of downloading the video and converting it for my Psp. Once it sunk in, I got really fascinated by birds and well flying. Just thinking deep with my life and comparing it with this song, it hit well. I was always trapped in my life, didn't go anywhere, didn't get invited to anything while I was in high school, and once I hit college... I felt freer. Graduating, going to college, traveling there on my own- buses, trains...something I never done before; I just felt free. 

I was confident of myself and well felt dependent doing all of that on my own, heck my sister never went to college, so I was glad I was the first to do so in my generation in the family. The song stuck with me, the name of the song stuck with me and hence why I keep using it. Once I hit another site called "Gaia Online", I met many friends there and they shortened it for me to Fly. No not as the annoying pestering bug, but as the word Fly...soaring. I have learned to fly on my own, as in traveling on a airplane, which is something I always wanted to do on my own. One day, when I have the time and money to do so, I would like to travel around the world, at least once or twice a year. 

 

There is another song I like, that revolves around the word Fly. It is by U2, another great band, with great lyrics and beat that fit the lyrics perfectly. The song, ironically, is called "The Fly". You would be hearing me say or type up some of their lyrics in Facebook or just mention any of these bands in my profile. I love them that much because they can relate to anyone. I was fortunate enough to see them twice in concert here in Chicago. I wish I was able to see them this year at Solider Field, but I wasn't able to sadly. If they ever go back to touring, I would definitely go to it and hopefully get my boyfriend to see them in concert.

Well, this was only some of the bands I do like and listen to and the explanation to my nickname online. Don't make fun of me for it, since it does have meaning to me, but now you know why I stick with it every time.
