Loading ...I was searching for a title that would make a good name for a pub. I first conceptualised my blog as a ‘hangout’ where everybody knows your name. Kind of a dark moldy place but with a friendly, close-knit clientele.
I got the name from a random name generator. It just seemed to fit. And eventually, the Shattered Prayer did become a friendly, close-knit little place. It no longer feels like a bar, but we do talk about booze a lot.
Snack of the moment: A brownie. Tea
Track of the moment: Foetus - The Only Good Christian is Dead.
Buy me a beer!

I think it fits. A like the name. It makes me think of freeing oneself from religion to open oneself up to spirituality.
You therefore engage in a Shattered Prayer. But it isn’t just destructive. It is also constructive.
And even though Prayer are nominally about communicating with someone else, they are, in actuality, about communicating with oneself.
And isn’t that just a metaphor for the web in general?
I think you’re reading way too much into a name generated at random. (which I wanted to spell ‘ramdom’
I do pray nightly. Not to Jehovah, of course, who really doesn’t like me very much at all. But prayer is a great way of correlating your thoughts, of finalizing your day, of getting a clearer idea of your needs and desires.
My sleepiness doesn’t allow me to have agreement between my subjects and verbs.
But that is what I think of when I think of Shattered Prayer.
Unfortunately SP makes me think of Social Personality, which is what I got my PhD in. And I don’t like to think about that.
It weren’t a nice time.
I’ve almost divorced the association. Soon SP will only mean Shattered Prayer.
By the way, where does one acquire a random name generator? Random number generators are a dime a dozen.
My favorite random name generator (for people names) is here. For other types of random name generation, you can usually find them on gaming sites.
We are kinda like an old pub where everybody knows your name. We even yell out people’s names when they wander in.
But we yell it out in welcome.
A quote from Norm, beer loving guy on Cheers.
“How’s a beer sound, Norm?”
“I dunno. I usually finish them before they get a word in.”
And a quote from Father Jack, alcohol loving insane priest on Father Ted.
“What do you say to a cup of tea, Father?”
“Fuck off, cup!”
Of course, he really says “Fek off, Cup.” Just to get it past the censors.
In the immortal words of Father Jack, “Fek! Arse! Drink! Girls!”
Nice random name. My favorite of the first batch I got — Penelope Pfalzgraf.
But those are people names. How did you get SP?
