I’m sure you’re probably curious as to how I came up with the name of my blog.
Well, surprisingly there is a somewhat sane explanation.
When brainstorming for potential names, I got stuck... literally my brain seemed to hit a glitch and the same word would run through my head for what seemed like hours...it was a disaster. Unwilling to accept defeat, I turned to google for help (as I often do) and found a hilarious name generator which asks a variety of random questions and strings together your answers to create a ridiculous name http://www.blogthings.com/meganamegenerator/
The first name that it generated (which turned out to be a keeper) was ‘Dim Sum Simon’ - apparently combining my favourite food with my grandfather’s first name.
**Note: if you are unfamiliar with the best food on the planet {dim sum} - wikipedia provides a brief explanation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sum . I've eaten dim sum at several different restaurants in the GTA, but my absolute favourite spot is on the third floor of a china town mini-mall, located on Dundas, just east of Huron. If you’re interested in trying it for the first time or already understand its proper position as king of all other foods, let me know - I’m always up for it!
Once I had made the decision on the name, I then had another major choice to make: the direction that the blog will take.
I decided that not only do I want this blog to assist in developing my knowledge in certain areas of interest (specifically music, books, tea and local restaurants), I also want it to raise thought provoking questions that challenge my own opinions and beliefs about my faith, current events and politics etc.
Most of all, I want to try to make this blog both real and honest, and in order to do so I would really appreciate any comments and feedback that you can offer! ☺
Thanks & I hope you enjoy!
