Naming a blog is harder than it sounds, especially for a general blog of random thoughts and ideas. Reading through tips online, I came across a few recommendations: brief, memorable, and descriptive. It doesn't necessarily have to make any sense as long as it is easy to spell and unique.
I went through a dozen names, some that I liked (but were ultimately taken) while others were cumbersome or too wordy. After throwing multiple blog names in the proverbial trash bin, I began to think about the blog's content. I am generally upbeat and wanted to convey that in the title, which lead me down the road of "bullish": someone who is an optimist regarding business and markets.
That title hints and what I will be blogging about. I have been doing some side investing in the stock market for the last three years and have done well overall despite starting out completely blind in July 2008 before the big crash. I am also a bit of a gearhead; I love automobiles and keeping up with the automotive industry. I have had a longtime interest in urban planning, stemming from time spent playing the PC game SimCity 2000 as a kid. And finally, I am an intern architect by profession currently studying for the architectural registration exams, so I may blog about that from time to time.
These four areas make up my core interests, and each interest has a tendency to overlap one another (cars vs. urban planning, market conditions vs. construction demand, etc.) I am one who does a lot of thinking, so I hope for this blog to serve as an outlet for those thoughts and grow into something more refined and concrete over time. Let's see where this goes!
