well, this is my second, but actually first real post ever. since the first one's purpose was only to create myself an avatar, this second one is to see if i can write and express myself in English. I'm following my brother's advice and using Firefox in order to leave behind some of the obvious spelling mistakes. i know that the most hilarious mistakes are not the ones the computer can indicate. i hope the meaning will win, and I'll be able to "enjoy the ride world wide" without too much concerning about that spelling subject.
a little bit about the name- well, about a month ago i woke up in the morning with a strong jeronimo filling in my hart. well i didn't now what's jeronimo, but i felt strongly that this name carries a meaning to me(i have a filling that words meaning and meaning with no words are going to be strong part of this blog).
anyway, i tried to find out what the hell is this jeronimo, that fills my body with excitement and anticipation. i new it had something to do with some Indian guy, and i knew i'm supposed to yell it somehow from my guts. and at 6 am i turned to my Google friend.
so this is what i found:
Geronimo at wikipedia
some more Geronimos i found in wikipedia, from which i liked the Geronimo Stilton
one about the mouse journalist stories(never heard of it before)
(I've just noticed while checking the name history in Wikipedia the word "disambiguation", note to my self - i like it, need to read more about that word...)
i knew i must do something with this jeronimo call and continued in my journey to find out what that name meant.
few days later i found that "GERONIMO!" was yelled by the American parachutists, while jumping from the airplane in 2nd world war.
several days later, still searching, i found the movie "Conspiracy Theory"
great great movie with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts, i need to see once again the movie to see what exactly was the "geronimo" doing in that film, but i do remember it had an essential part in it. i like Mel Gibson so much, something in his eyes makes me shiver. i adore Julia Roberts smile as well, and i just loved that film.
more about the search for "jeronimo", and how it turned from "geronimo" to "jeronimo", in the next post.

I always wondered why they screamed that while jumping. Interesting.
Good luck with your new blog! When I first started, it was frustrating because I was FULL of errors and then eventually it just fell into place...(believe me, I still find MANY typos!)
I hope you find blogging as enjoyable as I have. I've met some wonderful people, and have had some great advice when I was going through something emotionally. It was a great source of therapy! :)
Well, off I go! JERONIMO!!!! I need to fall asleep!
Goodnight, and I hope to visit again!
I'm trying to imagine a conversation between you and your brother. Never a dull moment, eh?
Okay, I don't know your brother personally, although I live in a neighboring city. No, I just read his blog from time to time. I've bookmarked yours now to see what Jeronimo turns out to be.
I've popped in at People's direction. Welcome to the blogosphere and have fun with your blog. :)
hey ~deb, thanks, i fear most not from the typing mistakes, but of the meaning getting lost by using a language which is not my mother tongue. but i do find it more exciting connecting with people world wide than in the close neighborhood.
ms, great to have you visit me, my brother's blog is really a masterpiece. i'm so thankful he let me read it.
i'm afraid not all conversation between us is that thrilling. at least over the phone. it sounds more like- "so.... what going on? ha... and how's honey? and the doggies? fine.... so, see you soon, i hope. the kids? oh, they are just great. best wishes to every one."
being so far away for so long(more than 10 years) and lack of basic oral communication skills for both of us has it's cost.
face to face is much better, it reminds us the fact that we are still kids at heart(for better and for worth). than we really laugh, and talk nonsense, and touch the real issues. thats why his blog is so precious to me.
hi loz, thanks for popping and the wishes. i hope you'll come to visit from time to time and find some interesting posts. Jeronimo!!!
