Love, Language, and Points (of View)

2/16/2014

The most welcome "point of view" is usually an "isle of view". Even an "ex" knows "why" - ewe and eye welcome an "aisle of yew". Never whinny or whine; always say "aye" instead of "nay" when it comes to love - of you and I. Also try to love your "neighbor" (with or without a spouse or spice in his or her life) but don't let drinking wine allow anyone to "neigh" like Winnie the Boar or a horse he didn't ride in on.

It is better to make love than to make points. You'll also usually "score" more ("points") if you let others know they are welcome to come well (as they are) - and to share your point of view or bring their own.

Commentators and common taters, spectators and expectators are welcome to share any perspectives guarding or regarding expressions and impressions of love and language (related to this post) in the comment section - or in the no comment sex shun.

Homo & Hetero - Spelling, Sounding, Meaning

3/26/2013

Homonyms ("same name") are words that are spelled the same and pronounced the same, yet have different meanings. An example is "bay" which can mean a body of water or a beagle's howl.

Homophones ("same sounds") are words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings (and usually spellings). An example is "led" and "lead" (the metal).

Homographs ("same writing") are words that spelled the same but aren't necessarily pronounced the same and have different meanings. An example is "wind" (blowing) and "wind" (a clock).

Heterographs ("different writing") are words that are spelled differently, have different meanings, yet are pronounced the same. An example is "red" and "read".

Heteronyms ("different names") are words that are spelled the same, but proncounced differently and have different meanings. An example is "minute" (60 seconds) and "minute" (tiny).

There's No Place Like Here

7/11/2012

Where we come from can have as much influence and impact on our lives - and those around us - as where we are (going) or what we (are going to) do.

There are many kinds of "cities". Some "cities" are considered "better" to come from than others. Here is a list of 30 "best" to "worst" cities to come from:

1. Authenticity
2. Veracity
3. Vivacity
4. Sagacity
5. Simplicity
6. Capacity
7. Audacity
8. Tenacity
9. Velocity
10. Reciprocity
11. Synchronicity
12. Eccentricity
13. Ethnicity
14. Electricity
15. Plasticity
16. Publicity
17. Rusticity
18. Historicity
19. Spasticity
20. Loquacity
21. Frugacity
22. Complexcity
23. Complicity
24. Duplicity
25. Rapacity
26. Pugnacity
27. Paucity
28. Scarcity
29. Toxicity
30. Atrocity

WHEN we are is even more important than WHERE we are. The best time and place to be is PRESENT (rather than in the past, the future, or absent). To be fully present requires coming from Authenticity. To be elsewhere (in time, space, or attention) will automatically make us come from Scarcity. Where we are the most often is HOME. Be HERE and NOW.
There's no better place (or time) than the PRESENT.

Greater than fear are both love and hope

3/29/2012

FEAR makes many Forget Everything And Run - in anticipation of PAIN. Pain is mainly (emotional) "resistance" (to whatever is or may be). It does not matter if it is "real" or "imaginary". PAIN urges us to Protect Against Increased Negativity, helps us Put Attention Inward Now, and Promptly Acknowledge Inner Needs - like finding LOVE - the Light Over Virtually Everything. Laws Of Virtuous Existence may include Listening Often Very Eagerly and Lots Of Vulnerability Expressed.

When I WIN, so does the TEAM

9/23/2011

There's no "U" in "TEAM". There is also no "I". But there is an "I" inside of "WIN" (Where It's Needed).

Together Everyone Achieves More in a TEAM (Tell Everyone About Meaning) - but only if two or more (you and I) WIN (With Integrity Now) - creating WIN-WIN (Will Increase Net-Worth In Networks). When I Notice - What's Inside's Nice, WIN-WIN need not be EQUAL (Everyone Qualifies Usually A Little) for all to WIN (Wanting In Nothing).

Both WINNING and WILLING have two "I"s. Two eyes are better than one - when they're both open and work together. The same is true for two "I"s.

WINNING is the result of our EACH (Effort Added Creating Harmony) being WILLING to take full responsibility for our own DATA (Decisions About Taking Action) - until we all WIN (Work Is Needed). Our TEAM (Talent Eventually Attracts Money) can only REALLY "WIN" (What Is Next) when EACH feel like "I WIN" (What "I" Need)!

A New Alphabet - For the Rest of Us

8/31/2010

The police, military, and other groups that spell out words have longed used "phonetic alphabets" that use words like "Able, Baker, and Charlie", or "Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie" to make it easier to distinguish between letters that sound similar.

While it is unlikely that THEIR word choices will change any time soon, I'd like to suggest that the REST OF US begin to use the following words for each letter when WE "spell":

A = Awesome, Amazing, Attractive

B = Beautiful, Best

C = Cute, Charming

D = Darling, Dear, Debonair, Delightful, Desirable

E = Exceptional, Elegant, Exciting
Enticing, Erotic, Exotic

F = Fantastic, Friendly, Fun

G = Good, Great, Gorgeous

H = Helpful, Handsome, Happy

I = Incredible, Intelligent, Intriguing, Interesting

J = Juicy, Jealous,

K = Kind

L = Lovely, Loving

M = Magnificent, Majestic,

N = Noble, Nice, Naughty

O = Outstanding

P = Pretty, Perfect

Q = Quaint, Quiet

R = Romantic

S = Super, Suave, Sweet, Sexy

T = Tremendous, Talented

U = Unusual, Unbelievable

V = Virile, Vivacious, Virtuous

W = Wow, Warm, Welcoming, Wonderful,

X = X-Rated

Y = Young, Yummy

Z = Zany

OREN Obviously Really Enjoys Names

10/9/2009

My start with acronames was on April 19, 2007 at a Robert G. Allen Inner Wealth Retreat. Before a lunch break, he introduced the idea of consciously choosing what our names stood for and meant to us - and then stated that he would pay $20 to the person who could create the best "acroname" for themselves by the time we came back from lunch.

Most people came up with unrelated adjectives for each letter of their first name. I decided to try to come up with something that made sense - using my full name. By popular vote (and in front of all attending), Bob paid me $20 for my very FIRST personalized acroname attempt:

OREN PARDES = Ongoing Reminder Enthusiastically Nurturing Purposeful Action Demonstrating Extreme Success.

This gave new possibilities and meaning(s) for both my name and my creating more acronames.

OREN PARDES = Only Rich Experiences Now; Playful Activities Really Do Express Satisfaction.

Although it's only a casual hobby, I noticed that I not only enjoy creating acronames, but apparently seem to do so more easily and quickly than many other people. I also seem to be the only person I know who tried to create sentences or phrases.

People seem to really appreciate the personalized acronames I create for them. My blog post about "Tactile Yell" was originally a longer blog posted on MySpace on April 1st, 2009. Many of the name examples found on this site came from acronames I created for people who commented on that blog.

Just after deciding to start this site I read a post on Facebook by Johnny Fernandez requesting that his "friends" post their favorite acronyms. I submitted acronames - using his full name and a few options for his and his wife's first names. His reply prompted me to add a "donation request" to this site. I'm not sure what an acroname is worth (in financial terms), but I'm open to finding out.

I'm not the only person who creates acronames - for myself or for others, but I have yet to find a website similar to this one. If you find value in what I post on this site, I hope you will help support my efforts in some way.

Please let me know what you like (or don't) and how I can make this site better. Your thoughts, comments, and donations are much appreciated.

What Do You Expect?

9/14/2009

I recently "met" a woman online with what I thought was an interesting and unusual user name: Tactile Yell. I wrote to ask her if that meant if I touched her, she would scream. She replied that the name was an anagram.

Since she said her name was “Kelly Marie”, I don't think “Tactile Yell” was a very good anagram – because it didn’t even use all the letters in her name. It even substituted some that weren’t there.

I wrote back asking if “Kelly Marie” was an anagram for “Mark E. Reilly”. If it was, her pics sure had me fooled. But, unlike me, not everyone looks like the photo(s) they like to post on the internet….

I figured that if Kelly wanted to yell (“like a lyme”?) and actually use the letters in her name, then “a krime yell” would be more fitting than the less “anagramatic” tactile yell that she create - even though she claimed my anagram suggestion didn't really make sense.

What I found curious was Kelly not saying anything about “Mark E. Reilly”. Maybe she just didn't want to go there. I sure don't.

I'm more of a “what you see is what you get” kind of a guy. Well, maybe not. I usually offer and/or give more than people expect.

What would you like to see (me offer and/or give) more of on this site?
