Great blogs have great names. Right? I’ve always thought so at least. I suppose they have great writing as well however thats simply not something I am capable of, so I’ve decided instead to woo the internet reader via a catchy title. I know, some of you are already thinking to yourself as you look at the top of the page ‘and thats what he came up with??’. In short, yes. In long? Well, lemme splain.

In searching for the perfect blog title many great candidates crossed my mind. Real winners like “It has a certain je ne sais quoi”, “This title will never be as good as my wife’s”, or my personal favorite “Weird Al Rocks”. Each of these was passed through the Wife Filter. Men know this filter (married men at least). We take everything we think of as awesome, submit it to the Filter, and out comes what is ‘actually’ awesome – i.e. nothing. Its a pretty sweet piece of technology. Take those above promising blog titles; each was fed into the filter, along with countless others, and rejected, along with countless others (the last never spoken aloud for approval – it’s fate already known).

Anywho, let me get back on topic. As these titles kept getting shot down I suggested the eventual title for this blog, “My wife made me pick this”. Naturally of course this too was eaten by the filter. “What? No. What does that even mean?” she asked. A valid question I suppose, given that she is not privy to the genius that is my brain. “Exactly,” I said, “It’s circular!”. Looking back at it, I’m not sure it DOES make sense (it did at the time, but thats how genius works isn’t it?). It doesn’t matter now though. I love it. I think it has a certain je ne sais quoi.
