Think!

Maybe you noticed already that the last blogs I've been writing have titles from songs. Actually Reading the blog of a friend of mine gave me that idea. He named all his blogs after songs. (thanks for that splendid idea, Nick).
After some ten months of naming my blogs to the events I wrote about, I became what people call, having a writers block. So after visiting his blog http://theexpat-files.blogspot.com/ , I started to copy the idea. Simply, because I liked it. I noticed that a song title was easier to remember too. people tend to remember songs easier then just words. I think, because we tend to paste certain emotions (often a peticular feeling or movie fragment) to it. Think about it for a moment. Take the title of this blog. Most people have seen the movie "The Blues Brothers", right? How may people remember that scene in the diner where Elwood and Jake come in and order just a dry toast and 4 chicken with coke and French fries, and their old guitarist comes out willing to join them when Aretha Frankin starts singing this song? Or maybe you only remember that chocomel commercials of the 1980's where a girl is alone at home playing this song on her fathers stereo set, just seconds after he told her to not to touch it? See the point?
Another reason for using song titles as blog titles is, that there is always a song that fits the story. Especially when you choose known songs.
