Synthesis

So, here we are again. Out of the ashes of my old and rather sordid blog rises my newer, shinier, IMPROVED FORMULA sordid blog. My progression has truly been staggering.

In consideration of the fact that we are back to the proverbial Square One, I thought it would be apt to have my first post be concerning the URL of my blog. For reference sake, here it is again:

nefariousnightclub.blogspot.com

Unfortunately, if you were expecting a long and clever story about how that came to be, you'll in for a tiny bit of disappointment. The tale goes like this....

While I was signing for the blog service, the name I wanted was simply unavailable. So my originally intended URL name has instead become the title of my blog and after a quick search, I discovered that the owner of viciouscabaret.blogspot.com does not (to my knowledge) speak a lick of english. From what I can gather, his blog seems to revolve around the photographing of vehicles. Where's the human drama? Where's the crushed spirits and broken dreams? Where's the FUNNY? It is, alas, absent. At least in english.

So, (as V would put it) in lieu of my preferred URL soubriquet I decided then to search for each word on Google in order to find some alternatives.

The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary at www.merriam-webster.com supplied me with a few choice options. For Vicious, synonyms included such a lovely lineup including Villainous, Corrupt, Degenerate, Nefarious and Iniquitous.

Villainous - Nah, not me.
Corrupt - More me, but still lacking impact.
Degenerate - Very me, but not something i'd prefer to blatantly advertise.
Nefarious - Now here's an interesting one.
Iniquitous - Doesn't quite have a nice ring to it.

Before I could truly decide, I had to perform a similar check for Cabaret and see what comes up. As it turns out, there was only one choice. Nightclub. While all the previous words combine pretty well with this one, Nefarious Nightclub seems to have a pretty good sound to it.

And there we have it. No deep thinking, no analysis paralysis. Just the letter 'N'.
