Everything All of the Time

As I sat down to write this entry, Blogger notified me of a number of domains that were available for purchase. Any of these could be applied to this blog if I so choose, and all of the sample domains on that list are variations of this blog's title--Everything All of the Time. I'd never put a lot of thought on the title, but I did happen to nab it from a song I was enjoying at the time by a group called Jakob. The song in question is, of course, "Everything All of the Time."

Of course, when those domain options popped up in front of me, I was momentarily taken aback. Buying one of those domains was an immediate consideration for me because "dalkaen.blogspot.com" is certainly a domain without a lot of personality. Is "Everything All of the Time" really the perfect name for my blog, though? It's ridiculously general and clearly doesn't have anything to do with video games and that's what I discuss most. Of course, it's not the only thing I write about. Maybe that's really what this all is, then. It's a place I come to write about whatever it is that's on my mind, whether it be my obsession with video games or any of my numerous soul-eroding neuroses. It fits quite well with my tireless need to categorize and to document the world around me. 

And hey, as it turns out, it's also a line from one of my favorite Radiohead songs, "Idioteque."

Really, it doesn't seem like such a bad name. Maybe I should buy that domain. I think www.everythingallofthetime.com is available, even. It really wouldn't affect much considering the laughably small reader base I have (if it can even be considered as such), but I think it would be nice. I haven't had my own domain name in years and I'm not completely sure why that is. I've always wanted to have some kind of internet presence and now that I've cordoned off my own meager corner of the web, I might as well make its moniker official.

I guess I could also consider sprucing up the place a bit. The layout is very vanilla, but I kind of like it that way. It's clear and easy to read with few distractions. Still, I could probably toss in a link here and there or whip up some kind of banner image with my meager Photoshop skills. It seems pretty clear at this point that this blog's here to stay for awhile, so I should at least consider making it more my own.
