Reasons for the Name

As anyone who may have found this blog or skimmed over it at my request might figure, the blog and the URL have odd names for a personal blog. This post's purpose is to explain where they came from.

For about a week I had a series of odd dreams that I would consider "episodic" in that they skipped from "scene" to "scene" with completely unrelated circumstances happening in each one. The one thing that connected them all was an incredibly large shopping center, as each sequence ended I found myself in this shopping center, with very strange stores or just strange renditions of stores I've been to before. The roads and parking lot were extremely hard to navigate but whenever I finally found the exit I would immediately be in another dream sequence. This happened enough times for me to consider that my mind in a dream state considers its hub like a large shopping center. From that the name for the blog came as a sort of window into my central hub, or the shopping center itself. Odd, and a bit on the silly side, but it works for me.
